                     Singing draws people together. 
                     
                    
                    
                      
                        
                          Thank you for your support and encouragement from all over the World.  
                           
                          After March 11, a number of choirs in Japan sang at evacuation centers,
                          and held a concert in their hometown to raise money for disaster-hit areas.
                           
                           
                          Now we are sure music has power to get people together and bring about
                          hope and encouragement to people.

                    We graciously thank all of the companies and choirs for having made a donation

                    quake hit. FVEC 2012 was held to share joy of singing again with people
                    all around the world.
