Japan, We've Not Forgotten You, 28th June 2011 Shoreditch

Phone-recorded clips from 'Japan, We've Not Forgotten You' the Jpop charity event at McQueen, in Shoreditch, London in June this year.

Some of the description from the event's Facebook page:

"Four chart topping Japanese pop musicians, amongst other big names, will make a rare appearance in London on Tuesday 28th June 2011. They will perform at a charity concert held at McQueen in Shoreditch which aims to send further financial aid to Japan, while also offering encouragement not only to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami, but also to Japanese in England and across the world.

The pop artists are; Naomi Suzuki, an actress, singer and presenter from Japan who is also co-ordinating the event; Ayako Nakanomori, the former vocalist of NAKANOMORI BAND, one of Japan's most successful girl-groups; the multi-million selling pop artist Yuki Koyanagi; and singer, actress (Spirited Away, Metal Gear Solid) and two time Japanese Academy Award nominee Mari Natsuki."

"Additional to big four Japanese pop singers will be award winning violinist Diana Yukawa, who will open the event. Her debut album entered the charts at number one in Japan and she recently supported classical Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins at Cheltenham Racecourse.

And if that's not enough, the backing band is also full of world renowned musicians, including Simply Red guitarist Kenji Suzuki, Grammy Award winner Simon Hale, and perhaps Japan's most recognised percussionist, Nobu Saito."
