Congratulations on holding ChildAid Asia 2014 concert.
I regret that I cannot participate today, but I hope that it is a great concert by the result of everyone's practices.
It will be a precious asset in the future that children from various environments like Japan, Singapore and Asian countries are interacting through music and a performance for holding this event.
Today, 10 months and 2 years have passed from the Great East Japan Earthquake. I expect that everyone including today's participants from Minamisoma in Fukushimas keeps their friendship. I am also hopeful for future success of your generation that forge the future of the disaster area, japan and the world.
Sincerely,
Shinjiro Koizumi
Parliamentary Secretary of Cabinet Office

"ChildAid Asia 2014" with HIH Princess Akishino as a guest of honor!
On January 11, 2014, "ChildAid Asia 2014" was held by 126 children form Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia at the world famous music hall, Suntory Hall. It was an honor to have HIH Princess Akishino, graced the concert as well as to have more than 1600 people in the house. One of the unique features of this year's ChildAid Asia was collaborative performance. It was certainly a challenge, but all the performers seemed to enjoy instructing each other through music not only on stage but also off the stage.
The Program of ChildAid Asia has been announced!
ChildAid Asia 2014 is not only the series of solo performances but there will be good collaboration works among children from 4 countries. The followings are a part of the program.
