| June.28th Sun. Hiro no Kai
The "Hiro no Kai" recital, led by Hiroju Tatsumi, was held at the Togane Cultural Hall, featuring a special guest appearance by Kumiko Tatsumi. Although twin typhoons struck during the dress rehearsal the day before, the storms passed safely by the time of the event, allowing a large audience to attend. With performers ranging from elementary school students to those in their nineties―along with the entire staff―working together in unity, the recital proved to be a heartwarming occasion.
