Kanade Music Planning announces its 'April Dream' vision to redefine handbells as an accessible musical experience for daily life, moving beyond traditional church and school settings.

Our company supports April Dream, a project that turns April 1st into a day for sharing dreams.

This press release represents the dream of Kanade Music Planning Co., Ltd. #AprilDream

The handbell is an instrument that possesses the power to transform a space with just a single note. A clear resonance, a quiet strength, and a melody that gently touches the heart—we want to bring this charm to even more people.

However, until now, handbells have been instruments primarily preserved in churches and mission schools. That is why Kanade Music Planning aims to break free from that limited image and spread handbells as a presence that people can enjoy freely and purely. #AprilDream

Not just for special stages, but as something to enjoy casually during ordinary moments spent with family and friends. We pursue the value of music not just for listening, but as something everyone can naturally touch and enjoy as part of their daily lives. We will gradually shape a future where the resonance of handbells connects people and creates a gentle afterglow in everyday life. #AprilDream

Kanade Music Planning makes it its mission to change music from 'something special' to 'something familiar,' aiming for a future where handbells become a presence that stays close to people's hearts more freely and naturally. This is the April Dream of Kanade Music Planning Co., Ltd. #AprilDream
