2023 Charity Event

We carried out charity activities to support reconstruction after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. We donated a part of the profits of the charity event in March to the planting activities of the Ishinomaki Minamihama-Kokoro Forest Project, and continued the trip to Ishinomaki to commemorate tree-planting with Singing Ring lovers.

This year's charity event was held on Saturday, April 1, 2023.

The donations received will be donated to the NPO Kokoro no Mori, which develops and maintains the Ishinomaki Minamihama Reconstruction Memorial Park, and the Niiwa project, which creates places where we can connect with nature, including Tenkawa Shrine.

The theme of the 6th event was "Living with Mother Earth, Gaia -Towards a Resonating World-".

We welcomed "Gaia Symphony" producer Yukari Tatsumura and didgeridoo player KNOB who appeared in "Gaia Symphony No. 6" as guests.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your warm support.

We talked with groups

Ishinomaki kokoro no Mori

On June 29, 2023, we talked with Mr. Fujio Fushimi, who lives in Ishinomaki, and Mr. Yasushi Kotono, a director of Kokoro no Mori, on Zoom. First of all, we reported on the charity event of the Shining Green Project held on April 1, 2023. We also announced that we would be donating 191,023 yen from the proceeds from the event. The two of them said, "Thank you to everyone. Thank you very much." The park has been planting trees for the past seven years, and currently has 90,000 trees planted, and plans to plant the remaining 10,000 trees and flower paths under the trees in the next seven years. Donations will continue to be used for tree planting activities! Thirteen years have passed since the earthquake, and Ishinomaki is recovering, and fireworks are being held to mark the 100th anniversary of the opening of the river. The park has also become very beautiful, and 2,000 people have visited the marathon event, and it is active. WeI would like to proceed with the project to visit Ishinomaki with everyone again!

Tenkawa Yuniwa Project

On July 5th, 2023, We held an online discussion with Mr. Toyo Inogashira, representative of the general incorporated association Yuniwa, who lives in Tenkawa Village.

A charity event held on April 1, 2023, a report on donations, and a greeting for the first meeting between representatives this time. Mr. Inogashira gave us a warm message, saying, "I am very grateful for the donation. Thank you very much. We will use it to support Tenkawa Village. Thank you for the connection that led us." After that, we talked about the strips of thank-you gifts from Tenkawa Shrine...! This gift is a tanzaku hanging made from old materials from the former Tenkawa Shrine.

Tenkawa Shrine and Singing Ring actually have a deep relationship. During the filming of Gaia Symphony No. 7, Sion performed at Tenkawa Shrine (the sound of Singing Ring is used in the movie) . The inn where she stayed with director Jin Tatsumura in Tenkawa Village turned out to be an inn run by Mr. Inogashira...! “Could it be that we met at the time (15 years ago)?!” they were very surprised...!

As a future activity, they will continue to plant trees around Tenkawa Shrine (the tree planting activity has been going on for 5 to 6 years), and we will return to the old Funayama.

Will there be a new symbol for Funaokayama in the future? ! They are currently working on a big project! We can't take my eyes off it from now on. Also, after the end of Corona, various festivals will be held without restrictions this year! We, the Singing Ring Association, will continue to support Niiwa's activities behind the scenes.
