Business Overview

The performance, which played a part in the art and culture of Tokyo, attracted many audiences (1,468 tickets, 81.5% attendance) and gained a great reputation. Designed for families with children from 4 years old and up, Daisuke Yokoyama will be the main guest performing Joe Hisaishi's "Sanpo" from "Orchestra Stories: My Neighbor Totoro" (with an introduction of musical instruments) and the famous song "Exhibition no e" (with an exhibition of paintings drawn directly from a welfare facility in Sumida). In addition, "OriHime," an alter-ego robot, participated in the project and provided opportunities for people with disabilities to work and communicate by talking with audiences and watching performances through remote control.
