Business Overview

In response to the anxiety and loneliness caused by the coronavirus pandemic, some people went into depression or took their own lives, so they created and performed an original musical play “I'm alive now.” that conveys the importance and preciousness of living in the world. In the play, a variety of performers, including children with Down syndrome dancing and people of all ages and nationalities, join in the chorus. Paintings and works by disabled people were displayed on the stage and in the lobby. By participating with the same purpose, the participants gained mutual understanding, confidence, and joy, and the audience was greatly moved by the content of the play, the energy of the live singing, and the smiles of the participants.
