In the Chunichi Shimbun (newspaper) article from March 30, 2024, there was a piece about a “mixed Arab and Jewish orchestra.” It’s heartwarming to see such collaborations that transcend cultural and historical boundaries.

Reflecting on the power of music during times of crisis, I recall the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra’s New Year’s Concert at the beginning of some years ago. Despite the challenges posed by disasters, they emphasized the resilience and healing capacity of music.

Similarly, during the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, artists from both Japan and abroad came together to deliver various performances. Their artistry provided solace, hope, and a sense of unity during a difficult period.

Indeed, the power of the arts is immense. Whether it’s through music, visual arts, literature, or any other form, creativity has the ability to uplift, inspire, and connect people across borders.
