Regarding the Miyakojima training camp and the worrying Typhoon No. 15.

Thanks to you, the second day of the Miyakojima training camp went smoothly, and we will now be performing in a local exchange concert.

We are sure that many parents are worried about Typhoon No. 15, so we would like to provide you with information about the typhoon and how to respond to it. We have asked Japan Transocean (JTA), a sponsor of this concert, for their latest opinion.

The attached images show the forecasts from the Japan Meteorological Agency, the US military, and the Nordic Meteorological Research Institute. At present, we are not expected to enter the storm zone in the morning of the 21st (Friday), when we leave Miyakojima, and the wind speed is expected to be 8 to 10 meters, so there will be no problems with takeoff and landing. As long as the typhoon does not rapidly move northward in the future, there is no prospect of cancellations in the morning of the 21st, and we would like to proceed with the training camp as originally scheduled. If the situation changes, we have been told that JTA will be able to handle it by departing Miyakojima on the 20th (Thursday), the day before originally scheduled.

First, I would like to report on a matter that has been bothering you.
