The city of Semarang is a space that brings together many different cultures. This encounter is particularly evident in the symbolism of the streets that end at or come from Simpang Lima. Semarang receives complex cultural values in the form of roads that rotate and disperse to and from the five cardinal directions. This representation is also reflected in the audio-visual cross-section of Semarang Ceria, Semarang Senja, and Semarang. The three songs make Simpang Lima a meeting center that concretely requires field observation of how the song has reflected reality. This field observation intends to see how far the aesthetic building of these songs has lived and lived the nuances and atmosphere in the city of Semarang. Tourists who come to Semarang City make Simpang Lima the face of Semarang City, which branches out the world of tourism to Sam Poo Kong Temple, West Flood Canal, Tugu Muda, and Kota Lama. By understanding this, it is also found that migrants who initially only study or work in Semarang City also decide to stay and become an integral part of Semarang City society
