🌟 Music That Reunites – A Special Homecoming Concert 🌟
“Two musicians from Tohoku, having studied music in Seattle, once dreamed of holding a charity concert for those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Though the pandemic put their vision on hold, their passion never faded. Now, after years, they reunite in Iwate to finally bring their music to life, filled with hope, remembrance, and resilience.”
