This year's ORF2015 will be held at Tokyo Midtown for two days, from Friday, November 20 to Saturday, November 21, under the theme "Seeds of the Next Century: Thinking about 100 Years from Now on the 25th Anniversary."

■ What is Bibliobattle?
Bibliobattle is an intellectual battle for introducing recommended books that originated at Kyoto University. It is a game where participants introduce their recommended books (including their own works) within a time limit, and the audience members who listened vote to decide which book they want to read the most, crowning it the "Champ-bon" (Champion Book). You can enjoy the experience of encountering unknown books as if you were at a live performance.
■ Battle Format (A total of 3 rounds will be held; 1 round: approx. 45 minutes)
Time Limit: 5 minutes per person
Number of Books to Introduce: 1
