City of Music (UNESCO)

"[4] Hamamatsu is the founding city of musical instrument companies Yamaha, Kawai, and Roland.

UNESCO also noted a "clearly defined" music, education, and skills strategy for young people.

"[7][8][9] According to Lonely Planet, Daegu is a "pleasant and progressive place," and Leiria is an "agreeable mixture of medieval and modern".

[10][11] Lonely Planet describes Adelaide as "sophisticated, cultured, and neat-casual".

[12] In 2024, after the historic pub and popular live music venue Crown and Anchor was threatened with demolition and then saved after extensive public backlash and protests, the state government introduced laws to protect live music venues in Adelaide city centre.
