【April Dream】 From Sodegaura, Chiba! The 'World Utagoe (Singing Voice) Caravan' to Eradicate the 'Loneliness' of 8 Billion People on Earth Through Song. NPO Hikoukigumo Will Turn the World into One Giant Choral Stage!

※Our organization supports 'April Dream,' a PR TIMES project that aims to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release is the dream of 'NPO Hikoukigumo.'

'Singing has the magic to completely reduce the loneliness of the world to zero.' We truly believe this.

Based in Sodegaura City, Chiba Prefecture, 'NPO Hikoukigumo' has been operating as a 'platform connecting amateur musicians with places that seek music' under the passionate vision of our representative, Mr. Yamada.

Through events like 'Showa Disco' at Sodegaura Seaside Park, our 'Artist Dispatch Program' to elderly care facilities, and our uncompromising, professional-grade 'sound provision,' we create smiles for over 40,000 people across 140 performances annually.

The overwhelming sense of unity born from singing together, and the smiles overflowing with the happiness hormone (oxytocin)—this is not just a music event; it is a 'proven social issue resolution model' that eliminates loneliness and generational barriers. We will export this moving experience from Japan to the world and launch the 'World Utagoe Caravan ~Songs Without Borders~' to connect the world through song, crossing all national borders!

Ultimate Artist Dispatch! A Breakthrough Roadmap to Hijack the World's Most Prestigious Stages

Phase 1: Igniting the Spark in Japan with 'Inbound Utagoe Night' Starting from Japan! We will hold extra-large 'Utagoe Salons' for foreign visitors, featuring English MCs and multilingual lyrics. In our premium environment, we will transcend language barriers to create the ultimate emotional experience where everyone sheds tears and hugs one another.

Phase 2: Making 'Utagoe' Resonate in the World's Most Prestigious Venues Together with ambassadors who have taken this moving experience home, we will spark the birth of 'Utagoe Hubs' tailored to each country's culture. Furthermore, we will export the know-how of Hikoukigumo's proud 'Artist Dispatch Program' and 'Sound Provision' to the world's top stages!

'Utagoe Ambassador System' Recruiting those among foreign participants who 'want to do this in their own country,' providing online guidance, songbooks, and scripts.
