Kumamoto reconstruction project by Tomohiro Higashida and wonderful friends
"Higashida Tomohiro" is a singer-songwriter who performed LIVE at the FREERUN-sponsored event POW WOW held in Urabandai Nekoma, Fukushima Prefecture in January this year, and delivered a song that touched the hearts of us snowboarders.In February of this year, I accompanied him on a tour of Hokkaido and performed a LIVE while snowboarding with the locals, and it was the best trip to meet many locals.
He loves music, surfing and snowboarding, and travels all over the country to connect with many people.His singing voice, music and personality give courage and enrich the hearts of Japanese people.Such a wonderful artist is Tomohiro Higashida.
He was born and raised in Kumamoto and still lives with his family in Kumamoto.
Immediately after the Kumamoto earthquake last week, this "Hallelujah Kumamoto" was launched by him during his tour to see if he could do something for the reconstruction of his hometown of Kumamoto.
With a nationwide positive vibration network such as music freaks, surfers, and snowboarders, he has set up a reconstruction project team that directly supports the victims of the Kumamoto earthquake by believing in the power of music and the light of the soul with wonderful local friends. rice field.In the field, his companion "Mitsuyoshi Sonoda" plays a central role in boiler activity in the disaster area.
Higashida Tomohiro himself took advantage of the connections in each area after the earthquake, held charity live concerts with his friends, and set up a donation box for reconstruction support with the organizer at the LIVE venue. While praying for his safety, he continues to perform live performances of "Hallelujah Kumamoto".
It seems that the policy is to have acquaintances from various fields make a donation box and hand it over to those affected by the disaster and groups through Tomohiro Higashida (Halelujah Kumamoto, representative).
We are continuing this activity with the hope that "thoughts from all over the country will gather in Kumamoto, connect with each other, and make Kumamoto step by step toward the brighter side."
