About us
Greeting
Greeting from the Executive Director
The musical instrument, Singing Ring, was created on the 10th of December 2004. Since then, two types of Singing Ring (Uchu and Daichi) have been created. As of October 2019, a total of over 4400 of them have been shipped out to mostly Japan, Australia and the United States of America, without damage nor the need of re-tuning.
The phenomenon of Singing Ring has been spread through word of mouth. It was also celebrated in “Gaia Symphony No. 6 and 7”, a documentary movie about a Japanese Professor, Makoto Shichida and his “Tamashii no Kyouiku (Soul Education)”. The Singing Ring is also used in collaboration with professional dancers.
The Singing Ring has also been gathering attention by alternative-medicine professionals. This has led to more academic research on sound therapy, guided by numerous researchers.
My hope is that the Singing Ring will be fully utilized by educational institutions, communities, companies, hospitals as well as every-day people.
For the brighter future of the Earth and its children, let’s work happily together with smiles on our faces.

Our vision and objective
Our vision
Using Singing Ring, we create a world where harmonious resonance occurs.
Our objective
We contribute to society by carrying out research into the sound effects of the Singing Ring, spreading the information all over the world, and educating and supporting Singing Ring therapists and performers.
Our Goal
We aim to promote Singing Ring as a relaxation instrument with an underlying statement; “Anyone can easily access the sound of Singing Ring, anytime and anywhere.”
We also aim to bring out the best in others and fill them with happiness, in order for us and the Earth to be synced at the same frequency and be resonated and harmonized with each other.
Our Promise
We provide the highest quality sound to everyone who experiences the Singing Ring. Our by certified therapists and performers have undertaken extensive training to acquire the correct knowledge, technique, and a high ethical standard.
Education Policy
We believe that the best way to progress is to keep seeking new or better methods and theories without adhering to only one way. We understand that the best way is to keep on evolving each and every day.
Sound Provider
Our idea about the sound provider is, “All therapists and performers must be certified by the official Singing Ring training organization and work as professionals after they pass the examinations. They must also do ongoing education and training, and maintain a high ethical standard.” The use of the Singing Ring as a career should be standardized worldwide in order to provide people with happiness and harmony. Therefore, it is not suitable for those who have not undertaken any official training to provide Singing Ring services.
Establishment of Career
We clarify the difference between amateur and professional.
In order for the therapists and performers to establish their career with suitable ethics, we certify people to provide the best performance and sound therapy possible.
The certified therapists and performers are to spread Singing Ring extensively to everyday people so that it can be enjoyed as entertainment or a hobby. Each member will achieve the goal of providing the highest quality sound to the public by professionally cooperating with each other.
Define Instruments
Singing Ring is handmade instrument. It is perfectly tuned to make the same sound no matter which angle you strike from. “Sound Resonance” occurs when one Singing Ring is struck, and other nearby Singing Rings resonate without being struck. It is similar to ringing a tuning fork. Through this phenomena, we believe Singing Ring’s harmonic overtones can spread all over the world.
*There are two sizes of Singing Ring®: Large “Uchu (Universe)” and Small “Daichi (Earth)”. All come with engraved serial numbers.
