We are pleased to announce that for the first time in 2023, we are planning a karaoke contest in conjunction with the Shinryu Shrine Autumn Grand Festival.

We would like to thank all of the singers, as well as the audience, for their participation.

For the past three years, we have refrained from all such gatherings and conventions due to Corona. Although the Corona is by no means under control now, we have planned this convention to coincide with the autumn festival at the Shinryu Shrine.

We will have the members of the town's three karaoke clubs, the shrine officers, and finally, Ryoji Kikura, an honorary town resident, who will close the event.

There will be no song judging this time. Each and every one of the participants will receive an award of excellence.

I would like to conclude my greetings by requesting that you enjoy the show as much as time allows. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
