Iruma City (Mayor: Riichiro Sugishima) is advancing the 'Ryokusui Project', an initiative where students themselves spread and connect the new school song 'Ryokusui no Naka' (Amidst the Greenery) of Seibu Junior High School, the city's first integrated school, in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the city's municipalization this November.
Following our initial call for members of the 'Dance & Vocal Unit', which forms the core of this project, starting in February of this year, we received a tremendous response. To answer the passionate requests from our citizens, we will begin a 'Secondary Recruitment (for a few positions)' starting Tuesday, March 31.
For the secondary recruitment, we have expanded the eligibility. In addition to our citizens, the Dance Category is now open to 'those with a connection to Iruma City (having family members working or studying in the city is acceptable)', and the Vocal Category is open to 'those who like and want to support Iruma City', regardless of whether they live inside or outside the city. We sincerely hope that those who missed the first application period will take this opportunity to participate and help us liven up our anniversary year together.
## A Star-Studded Production Team Leading the Project
The project is produced by Katsuhiko Sugiyama, a composer responsible for numerous hit songs. Dance choreography and instruction are strongly supported by professional dancer Reo Hazuki. The formed unit will colorfully celebrate the 60th anniversary of the city's municipalization through music video production and performances at various events.
