Greetings
Koichi Matsumoto, Chairman of Fukagawa Kizuna no Kai
Welcome to the 4th Fukagawa Hometown Song Festival, a charity event hosted by our Fukagawa Kizuna no Kai. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued understanding and cooperation in our humble activities.
Now, the Fukagawa Charity "Hometown Song Festival" was held for the first time in 2016, and each of the three festivals has welcomed over 550 visitors, resulting in a grand finale.
Once again, we received prompt and understanding consent from prominent figures such as Mayor Tanaka Masayuki of Fukagawa and others to appear, and we have also received generous support from various organizations and companies, which has made it possible for us to hold the fourth event, for which we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude in writing.
We held this event today with the hope that we can contribute even a little to arts and culture and local revitalization through song, and also with the aim of raising charity donations for welfare projects.
The Fukagawa Kizuna no Kai has been in existence for 37 years, and we are determined to continue to actively participate in various events, including visits to welfare facilities.
Congratulatory speech: Mayor Masayuki Tanaka of Fukagawa City
We would like to offer our heartfelt congratulations on the holding of the 4th Fukagawa Hometown Song Festival, and would also like to express our deepest gratitude for the contribution that the Honuta Festival, which is held as a charity event, is making to improving social welfare.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the members of the Fukagawa Kizuna no Kai, the organizers of the Honuta Festival, for their active involvement in community-based activities and their contributions to the promotion and development of arts and culture in our city and the revitalization of the region through song.
Singing and other artistic and cultural activities enrich our sensibilities and add richness to our daily lives. The city will continue to work to create more opportunities for its residents to experience art and culture, and we ask for your continued support and cooperation in further developing the city's arts and culture.
