Kakeru Gouriki (Gouriki Kakeru), who is active nationwide as a sign singer and also serves as a Wakayama City Tourism Ambassador, will hold a 1,000-person concert, "Borderless One-Man Live ~1,000 Flowers of Sign Language~," on Sunday, December 6, 2026, at the Sarti Hall in Daito City, Osaka Prefecture, where he was born and raised.
This performance is an endeavor to create an "entirely barrier-free" entertainment space where everyone, regardless of whether they are hearing or deaf, have disabilities or not, or their generation, can share the same emotional experience.
Background and Social Significance of the Event
"I can't go to concerts because I can't hear," or "My child has a disability, so I refrain from going out because I might bother others." — In my activities across the country, I have encountered many voices expressing feelings of isolation due to invisible boundaries.
This performance elevates sign language from a mere "aid for information transmission" to "the highest form of artistic expression," and updates music from something to "listen to" to something to "see and feel."
The sight of 1,000 diverse people gathered in one venue, blooming flowers of sign language.
It is a microcosm of a "truly inclusive society" free from barriers of language, disability, or age.
I am convinced that the experience of laughing together in this scene will become a lifelong asset (educational value) for the children who will lead the future, teaching them that "differences are wonderful."
Three Innovations of This Performance
1. Establishment of a Thoroughly Barrier-Free Environment
In addition to providing wheelchair seating and multi-purpose restrooms, we will offer sign language interpretation and project lyrics for all songs on screen.
We are creating an environment where anyone can visit with peace of mind.
2. "One Coin" Educational Experience Connecting to the Next Generation
To lower the psychological hurdle of "welfare" and allow people to experience it as entertainment, we have set the price at free for preschoolers and 500 yen for elementary school students and younger.
We also offer priority entry for parents and families.
3. A "Passionate Community" of 1,000 People Built Through Hard Work
In 2025, we carried out a nationwide tour project covering only travel and accommodation expenses. Traveling the country with nothing but myself, the bonds formed by personally delivering sign language and songs to each individual have become a powerful driving force supporting this 1,000-person challenge.
This performance will be the culmination of the one-man live tour this summer, following Tokyo on July 26th, Sendai on August 16th, and Hokkaido on August 22nd.

[To Corporations and Media] Partnership Information
To expand the scale of this activity and fulfill our social responsibility, we incorporated our activities in April 2026.
Through this performance, we will provide the following value to sponsoring companies:
* Overwhelming "SDGs / Inclusive Society" Branding
Sponsorship of a 1,000-person fully barrier-free concert will strongly appeal to society, along with actual visuals, as a company genuinely investing in a diverse society.
* "Support Consumption" by a Passionate Fan Community
The fan base built through nationwide tours is not just an audience, but a "team pursuing a dream." Loyalty to supporting companies is extremely high, and strong word-of-mouth and support consumption can be expected.
* Creative PR Utilizing SNS / Character Design
Leveraging our in-house expertise in short video strategy for Instagram/TikTok, and character/merchandise production (LINE stickers, etc.), we can provide PR measures targeting younger demographics in collaboration with your company's products or mascots.
