International Red and White Singing Festival (IRWS) aimed to promote international exchange and mutual understanding through Japanese people singing in foreign languages and foreigners singing in Japanese. Let's enjoy singing together with special guests and fellow performers throughout the venue!

Many foreigners living in Japan and future-oriented international students are working hard to make Japan's society brighter. Through the IRWS we hope to create a compassionate society together with everyone who is willing to be involved.

Declaration for the Future:

We aim to regularly hold IRWS in regions such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and countries with a substantial Japanese population
like Brazil. We will invite outstanding performers from each area to the main venue in Osaka, expanding the international exchange platform centered around singing worldwide.

Inspiration:

IRWS originated in 2011 as a message of recovery after the Great East Japan Earthquake. A community of international exchange between foreigners and Japanese people initiated it. The movement was joined by foreign language media and mass media, and from the very first event, it received significant attention, with coverage on NHK(Japanese National Broadcast)'s morning news for over 10 minutes.

The event was held at the Tokyo Olympic Center, every year with the support of many individuals as well as many companies, NPOs, embassies, Japanese ministries of foreign affairs, ASEAN-Japan Centre. Association of Nikkei & Japanese. Abroad, and local governments.

But from its 10th iteration, the base was moved to Osaka. We aim to spread enjoyment to more people and look forward to registering this effort as part of the Collaborative Challenge, targeting the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025.

情報発信・PR: Any groups, individuals, and media that support our efforts in long term basis.

All ASEAN counities,India,and any other regions which can corporate with us.

Anyone who wishes to share enjoyable moments with people from various countries.

Through our activities, we hope to enhance the atmosphere of "WELCOME" for visitors from around the world attending the Osaka-Kansai Expo.
