Up-Front Group and its talents have decided to set up their own earthquake relief project, titled “Ganbarou Nippon Ai wa Katsu”!

The project aims to use the group’s songs and activities to help everyone through such a difficult time by holding a charity event on April 9th. The event, titled “Tohoku Earthquake Relief ‘Ganbarou Nippon Ai wa Katsu’ ~From Yokohama with love~”, will be held at Yokohama’s Yamashita Park, which was rebuilt after sustaining damage during the massive Kanto earthquake of 1923.

All of the talents present at the event will appear on stage together to sing KAN’s classic hit, “Ai wa Katsu“, an official cover of which will begin distributing on Recochoku on the same day. After, the event will move to two different locations within the city of Yokohama to hold fund-raising activities. The total sum of the funds raised by the activities at the charity event and through the sales of “Ai wa Katsu” will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society in order to provide relief for those affected by the natural disaster.
