NON will participate in the Tokyo performance of the “Tohoku Youth Orchestra Concert 2026” as a narrator.

NON will participate in the “Tohoku Youth Orchestra Concert 2026” held at Suntory Hall in Tokyo on Thursday, March 26, 2026, as a narrator.

The Tohoku Youth Orchestra brings together children whose hometowns lie in the earthquake-affected region of Tohoku, walking alongside music.

Having commemorated its founder, Ryuichi Sakamoto, in 2024 and 2025, the orchestra returns to its roots this year, confronting Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, “Fate.”

And “Tong Poo,” the orchestration project Ryuichi Sakamoto began in 2014.

Carrying on his vision, composer Dai Fujikura has completed this new sound, which we present here for the very first time.

“Supported, we become supporters.”
With these words in our hearts, we pour our souls into every single note.
