Arrived at Lake Kawaguchi! Rehearsals start tomorrow!
We arrived at Lake Kawaguchi by bus from Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima and Kanto!
We left in the morning and arrived at 18:00.
This will also be my first time meeting guest Illia Bondarenko!
Illia had the following to say to the TYO members:
There is currently a war going on in my country.As a young person from Ukraine, I wanted to do something, and I realized that I had a powerful weapon in the form of music.It was wonderful that Sakamoto cared about us.Now that he has passed away, I want to come to Japan to express my gratitude.When I perform, I think of Sakamoto. I hope that everyone will also think of Sakamoto when they perform.
I am looking forward to performing with everyone from TYO.
I feel that there is music that we can convey precisely because we have experienced difficult situations.
Please look forward to our powerful music being performed at Suntory Hall.
From being supported,
to supporting others.
