We support April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day to broadcast dreams.
This press release is the dream of Kanade Ongaku Kikaku Co., Ltd. #AprilDream
The instrument known as the handbell has the power to change a space with a single note.
A clear resonance,
A quiet strength,
And a tone that gently touches the heart.
We want to deliver this charm to more people.
However, the handbell has traditionally been an instrument carefully passed down mainly in churches and mission schools.
That is why Kanade Ongaku Kikaku Co., Ltd. wants to break free from that image and spread the handbell as something that can be enjoyed more freely and purely. #AprilDream
Not just on special stages, but as something to easily enjoy sounds with during casual moments spent with family and friends.
We pursue its value as music that everyone can naturally touch and enjoy familiarly, not just listen to.
We will gradually shape a future where the resonance of handbells connects people and creates a gentle lingering memory in everyday life. #AprilDream
