This page is for you if โ
I’ll be honest about
whether this resonates with you.
This isn’t for everyone.
But if any of these feel familiar โ I think it’ll land.
- โYou know that feeling of giving everything, yet somehow not quite fitting in.
- โYou care more about what you actually made than your follower count or view numbers.
- โThe walls between music, theater, dance, and film have always felt like obstacles.
- โYou’ve been looking for a place where you can be completely serious โ and laugh at the same time.
- โIn the age of AI, you want to bet on human bodies and raw energy.
- โEvery failure has genuinely hurt. There is no reason to stop.
- โBeauty over correctness.
What is Dandy Asobi Club
An experiment in turning
“serious play” into a program.
Dandy Asobi Club is a community that creates programs
where music, theater, dance, improvisation, and philosophy collide โ
shot at shrines across Japan โ
and sends them out to the world.
We capture the energy of each unrepeatable moment on film
and aim for major platforms and international film festivals.
The economic ecosystem that emerges from this
expands autonomously, driven by people who move out of genuine passion.
“Serious play” means โ
the coexistence of full commitment and openness.
All in on the process. Zero attachment to the outcome.
“Serious play” โ Full commitment to the process, with zero attachment to outcome.
Not camaraderie for its own sake. Not management by control.
A place where strong leadership and the art of letting go coexist.
That is Dandy Asobi Club.
Presenter
Why the god of failure
speaks about going all in.
Dan Mitchel. CEO of Dramatic Frontier Inc.
Raised in Takarazuka. Graduated from Nada Junior & Senior High School.
Went to London at 16. That’s when the obsession with creation began.
Since then โ making, falling, getting back up. Without stop.
Lost to Tokyo University by 9 points. Band fell apart mid-flight.
Fell out with a radio station. Worked for ยฅ250 an hour.
A list of over 20 failures โ not self-deprecation, but a rรฉsumรฉ.
Proof of having moved with intention, every single time.
Failure is the rรฉsumรฉ.
School play dead last, Tokyo University 9 points short,
band fell apart, hourly wage ยฅ250,
lead actress no-showed on event day, personal life dependencyโฆโฆ
Every single one became the next move.
Failure is an asset. I genuinely believe that.
- โทShort film “A Love Story in The Summer” โ Written, directed, produced, starring, original score โ Hollywood Film Festival selection / Italy Film Festival BEST ASIAN FILM
- โทRaised ยฅ1.3M via crowdfunding to attend Hollywood Film Festival
- โทComposed, arranged, and performed official theme songs for corporations and broadcast stations
- โทTrack “Free” โ 27,000 plays on Apple Music (608,000+ total across all releases)
- โทHosted and produced weekly radio program “Kangaeru Nama TV” for 1 year at Tokyo station
- โทBirthday event: ยฅ1.5M raised / 150 attendees at Higashi-Ginza
- โทLecture at Kokuyo Innovation Center: “How Mathematics Makes Future Prediction Possible”
The Philosophy
When no one is left with less than zero,
the chain keeps going.
A + B + C + D + โฆ โง 0 โ
As long as every term stays non-negative, the sum holds.
One person who only takes can bring the whole thing down.
That’s why this community is designed around giving.
Positive Chain
When someone gives, others want to give too. As long as that chain holds, the community grows. One taker breaks everything. That’s why GIVE is the premise here.
Bridging Opposition
What looks like an A-or-B conflict often shares a hidden C. Noticing that โ instead of forcing a choice โ turns division into resonance. That’s what serious play does.
Describing with Love
Mathematics, psychology, history, medicine, spirituality โ they don’t exist in isolation. When viewed through a single lens, a third perspective appears. That cross-disciplinary vision is the foundation of DAC’s thinking.
Evolution of the Spirit
In the age of AI, the evolution of the body and spirit is what matters most. Stop evolving and you disappear โ not a threat, but a law of the universe.
What We Create
What we make,
and how we make it.
Film-quality programs, shot at shrines
We record at shrines in Japan’s five major cities โ Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Fukuoka. Sacred grounds where ancient energy meets the heat of improvisation. We capture that collision on film.
Genre-less collaboration
DJ, live improvisation, theater, dance, pantomime, spoken word, philosophy โ no borders. If you bring full commitment and a sense of play, that’s a DAC piece.
Broadcast to the world
With English subtitles, we aim for major streaming platforms and submission to European film festivals. Japan’s “serious play” โ put to the world.
Auditions โ discovering the unknown
We hold auditions in each city to bring undiscovered talent into the community. We choose by energy, not credentials.
5 sessions โ then a global ecosystem
Through 5 programs, we expand the circle. Long-term, we aim to establish an autonomous global economic sphere โ built on values, not industry logic.
Cognitive Team โ an org driven by resonance
Core members operate with clearly defined roles and autonomy. No commands. The organization moves through resonance. We’re experimenting with what a community built on free will can become.

Dandy Asobi Club Vol.0
To everyone who joined usโour members, staff, and our loving, deeply perceptive audienceโthank you so much.
This time, we centered the event on the idea of pursuing โserious play.โ
For me, thatโs one answer to the question of how human beings can keep living in a truly human way from here on out. Total rationalism and efficiency-first thinkingโthings like time efficiency and cost efficiencyโmatter, of course. Iโm sure everyone has their own priorities, too.
But when that becomes everything, people start living like machines. And once humans live like machines, thereโs nothing we can beat AI atโand we end up losing the very meaning of being human.
In that sense, right nowโwith the snap general election following the dissolution of Japanโs House of Representatives, and all the โright vs. leftโ rhetoricโdivisions are everywhere. And even when we donโt realize it, itโs a story that spreads into the everyday lives of each of us.
In my own head, I always have two versions of myself: a hardcore realist and a hardcore idealist. But it canโt be that only one of them is โright.โ So Iโve been wondering whether thereโs a way to integrate them better.
By embracing โserious playโโby allowing some breadthโI want to keep moving forward with activities that donโt put โrightnessโ at the center, but instead place โbeautyโ as a major guiding axis.
I hope youโll continue to support us.

On January 22, Iโm launching and carrying out a project that Iโm staking my life on. Itโs an event, a documentary film production, and also a club activity. The theme is โpursuing play with absolute seriousness.โ
There are still many parts I wonโt know until I actually do it, so I canโt explain it in a perfectly clear, straightforward way. In other words, by intentionally not deciding everything in advance, I want everyone to enjoy the โplayโ that emerges from that opennessโtogether.
I believe this is what โideal freedom,โ grounded in the belief in peopleโs inherent goodness, is meant to look like. Iโm really looking forward to the voluntary participation of all you wonderful people, and Iโm excited to share the experience with you. Letโs entrust the outcome to the universe, at least once.

The lineup will continue to be updated as new performers are confirmed.
If you believe in your talent and would like to appear in the program,
please feel free to send your materials via DM or email at any time.
I may not be able to reply to everyone, but I will review every submission.
A genre-crossing art event held 29 times in 2023 in collaboration with FRIENDSHIP. โ โFreestyle Session Party (FSP)โ โ is being refined and rebooted, relaunching as an event, program, and community under the name โDandy Asobi Club (DAC)โ!!
We will hold the pilot edition on Thursday, January 22, at Shibuya 7th Floor.
Theme
- โMaster Serious Play!โ
- โBefore you know it, it becomes a social phenomenon!โ
- โBring Japanโs unique spirit of play to the world!โ
Turning serious play beyond genres and generations into a โclub activityโ
Across music, film/video, dance, theater, philosophy, and moreโbeyond genre and generationโwe aim to pursue โserious playโ as a club-like activity, developing it into a 12-episode series.
Building on popular FSP projects such as:
- Adding live improvised accompaniment to theater performances
- Sessions between DJs and live instrumentalists
- Collaborations between reading theater and dancers / pantomime performers
โฆwe also plan to create highly original new formats, including:
- A project where I draw out the thoughts of young people, and actors perform them as monologues
- A project where we compose a song on the spot with participants present
We aim to deliver an array of creativity-rich projects that are rarely seen elsewhere.
Re-edit the event into a program and share it globally
This time, while keeping it a participatory event with an audience (as before), we want to leverage my track recordโincluding selection at a Hollywood film festival and an award at an Italian film festivalโto record, edit, and distribute it as a single program.
YouTube would be an option, but we also plan to explore whether distribution might be possible via Prime Video, Netflix, AbemaTV, and other platforms.
We also aim to add English subtitles throughout the entire program and export it overseas. I believe we must bring the talents hidden in Japan to the world. If we only consider the market within Japanโor only inbound touristsโthe long-term potential seems limited, especially when we have the internet.
For the video production team, I hope to collaborate again with the people who supported me during my previous film production. I intend to take responsibility and lead the team, and I believe my countless past failures will support me this time.
Encouraging proactive independence while maintaining authority
Although this is a participatory event, I will carefully review portfolios and submitted materials in advance and give the go-ahead based on the best match for each project.
Therefore, the overall stage quality will not drop due to casual amateur participation. That said, I donโt want anyone to feel intimidatedโrather, I want people with fewer achievements to actively challenge themselves. For the sake of discovering bold new concepts, I plan to review everything that is submitted, and within that, I want to design projects where many people can participate in the right roles at the right time.
Any club member can bring in a project idea
Under the banner โPerestroika = Democratization,โ we will establish a committee via a LINE Open Chat and invite committee members to propose new projects.
A project will be implemented with the approval of โat least five committee members + me.โ Those who vote in favor will also be expected to take responsibility and help operate the project.
LINE Open Chat: โDandy Asobi Club Planning Committeeโ is here!
(You can join anonymously without adding anyone as a LINE friend.)
Expanding serious play across Japan and aiming for global reach
By linking with the nationwide tour โFreeโ that I announced previously, we can invite new talents I meet across Japan to performโenergizing both the event and the programโwhile also making it a place where people from many industries can gather.
Ultimatelyโโbirds of a feather flock togetherโโI hope to create a club-like space where, across all of Japan, diverse people beyond generations and genres who share my core philosophy can connect, thrive, and prosper.
You can also learn more about my guiding philosophy via my blog and the videos linked at the end.
Serious play can heal division in society
To resolve the countless binaries and divisions in society, I arrivedโjust yesterday (the memorable date of December 5, 2025) after years of thought experimentsโat the conclusion that we need a strong leader with aesthetics and an essential spirit of playfulness.
More details will be shared here.
(I will add additional notes later.)
Crowdfunding to raise production costs!!
For the production budget of this project, I would like to raise 1,000,000 yen through crowdfunding!
Primarily, we would be truly happy if you purchase advance tickets, and as an added bonus, youโll also be able to try our existing servicesโor, if the project becomes a program, we may run commercial spots as well.
(Of course, for corporate supporters, payment by invoice is also possible.)
Last time, we received support from 27 people and raised 1,280,000 yen.

Iโve been seriously considering bringing back the Freestyle Session Party.
I realized that it was something really necessary. But I canโt do it the same way as beforeโso this time Iโm thinking of democratizing it.
Kind of like a perestroika, you know?
Weโd set up a planning committee, discuss ideas there, and make decisions together. Responsibility would also be shared among the members. I think thatโs the only way it can really be sustainable.
And I can already see how it might work:
Weโd open a group chat to form the committee, throw out ideas, and whenever more than five members approve, that idea gets carried out. But those who approved it also have to take responsibility for the project. The other members have no obligation to participate, and if they do show up on the day, theyโd still have to pay for a ticket. Committee membersโ pay would just come from the ticket sales of the guests they bring in.
The key would be to secure a venue that doesnโt charge us a fixed rental feeโsomeplace cooperative. If profits come in, we pool them in the committee fund. Eventually, maybe sponsors will get involved.
As a guiding principle, above all else, itโs got to be play. It has to be participatory. We want to pursue the kind of play that leads to the future. That means letting go of pride and all that, while still doing it with a sense of disciplineโnot just cozying up for the sake of it. Weโre not after some prearranged harmony. I donโt even know if itโs a โperformanceโ per se. Itโs less about an audience and more about participants.
The genre doesnโt matterโit doesnโt have to be just music or theater. It could even be philosophy.
And why not stream it, too?
Do you get what I mean?
