Cebu Music Project with Yurina Maeda Cebu, Philippines / Tokyo & Hokkaido, Japan

Based out of The Philippines, actively involved in cultivating the life skills of children through music and physical education, is NPO Corporation Seven Spirit. With the cooperation of this organization and the approximately 60 children of various circumstances (street children, slums, middle-class, etc. and around 3 to 18 years old) who attend, we together conducted a production of the song with the theme, “A message aimed towards the world.” and planned to distribute and sell it to the world. This is how we banded together.

For the children, who regularly only learned how to play instruments during the class, writing the lyrics and composing was a newfound experience. With their thoughts and talents, potential laying as the foundations, there was created a sign of their existence and life. In creating together in what would be sold to people overcoming barriers such as national and cultural borders, the experience was truly special, and sparked much confidence for the future in the children.

From on after this experience, even if the people who were involved in this project leave to pursue other lives, as long as this song exists, they will always know that they existed in this world, and “created together” beyond various barriers a piece that will always be in their hearts.

Displaying their charming smiles and their almost-fiery potential, and with the natural attraction and beauty of The Philippines, engulfed in happiness. This is the song production with connection to the world.
