[April Dream] From Sodegaura, Chiba! 'World Utagoes Caravan' to Eradicate Loneliness for 8 Billion People on Earth with Song. NPO Hikoukigumo Transforms the World into One Giant Choir Stage!

*This organization supports PR TIMES's "April Dream" project, which aims to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is a dream of "NPO Hikoukigumo."

"We truly believe that the power of song has the magic to completely eliminate loneliness worldwide."

Based in Sodegaura City, Chiba Prefecture, "NPO Hikoukigumo" has been active as a "platform connecting amateur musicians with places seeking music" under the passionate vision of Representative Yamada.

Through "Showa Disco" at Sodegaura City Seaside Park, "Artist Dispatch Services" to elderly welfare facilities, and the provision of uncompromising, professional "sound systems," we generate smiles for over 40,000 people across 140 performances annually.

The overwhelming sense of unity created by singing together, and the smiles overflowing with happiness hormones (oxytocin). This is not just a music event; it's a "proven social issue resolution model" that eliminates loneliness and generational barriers. We will export this profound emotion from Japan to the world, launching the "World Utagoes Caravan ~Songs Without Borders~" to connect people through song across borders!

The Ultimate Artist Dispatch! A Breakthrough Roadmap to Take Over the World's Most Prestigious Stages

### Phase 1: Igniting the Fire in Japan with "Inbound Utagoes Night"

Starting in Japan! We will host a grand "Utagoe Salon" for international visitors, complete with English MCs and multilingual lyrics. In our superb environment, we will overcome language barriers and create an ultimate emotional experience where everyone sheds tears and embraces each other.

### Phase 2: Resonating "Utagoe" in the World's Most Prestigious Venues

Together with ambassadors who have carried back this inspiration, we will establish "singing hubs" tailored to each country's culture. Furthermore, we will export NPO Hikoukigumo's proud "Artist Dispatch Services" and "Sound System Provision" expertise to the world's top stages!

"Singing Ambassador System" From international participants: Recruit those who "want to do this in their own country," provide online guidance, songbooks, and performance scripts.

- Hawaii, Waikiki Beach Special Stage: Thousands of tourists in swimsuits will join a sunset sing-along of "Ue wo Muite Arukou" (Sukiyaki) to the sound of waves and ukuleles! - New York, Broadway: Rent out a theater in the sacred land of musicals! NPO Hikoukigumo's dispatched artists and local entertainers will collaborate in a passionate "Showa Disco"! - Vienna, City of Music (Austria): Export the "Utagoe Salon" culture to the Golden Hall, a sacred place for classical music. A cross-border, tearful chorus in the world's most beautiful acoustics! - Sydney Opera House (Australia): Liberate that beautiful World Heritage space as a "global community center" produced by NPO Hikoukigumo! A mega sing-along party with all generations mingling!

Also - London → Held in pubs - California → Senior facilities - Bangkok → Cafe events

### Phase 3: Global Simultaneous "World Sing-Along Day"

The climax will be a global event connecting these worldwide hubs online! On the same day, at the same moment, people around the world will sing together, creating humanity's greatest emotional moment where the entire Earth becomes one voice.

### Further Expanding the Scale of Our Dream

- Global Distribution! Documentary Production: Plan a special program for Netflix and NHK, documenting this miraculous journey as "A World Connected by Song"! - Aim for Japan! "Singing Grand Prix": Representatives from various countries will gather in Japan (Sodegaura!) for a world competition to enjoy performances and tourism! - Global Collaboration in Education and Welfare: Utilize knowledge of music therapy to promote international school exchanges and introduction into elderly care facilities!

🌈 10-Year Vision In 10 years, our singing hubs will be established in 30 countries worldwide, with perfect acoustic singing echoing somewhere in the world every week. Like "Hikoukigumo" (contrail) stretching endlessly across the sky, our activities will connect the world as one.

Well, we really want to make this dream come true (lol)
