In this paper, I focused on a town, Shimokitazawa. By examining the activities of musicians there, I considered the relationship between the urban user and the place. A pop musician's occupation is singing her/his songs repeatedly. As the facilities where they play their music are scattered around the city, they move around as mobile laborers in a similar manner like nomads. Therefore, the audiences who appreciate the performance of the musicians are called mobile consumers. To understand some of these actual situations, I investigated the facilities that hold such music performances in Shimokitazawa and the behaviors of three musicians who give these performances around the town and an audience. I considered the relationship between the musicians and Shimokitazawa by focusing on the former's practices in their music performances, especially in 2005 and the musical landscape depicted in their songs. The upsurge of the redevelopment problem was observed in Shimokitazawa around 2005. As a result, it can be said that music played the significant role in the development of people's connections with the musicians, and of positive associations of the musicians with the town.
