楽器for東北の高校生。Instruments for kids in Tohoku.

9月に石巻の学校の為に楽器を集めるのイベントしました。 昨日石巻工業高校に楽器を届けてきました。 初めて見た海側の被災地は正直想像をはるかに超えてましたが、現 状をメディアを通してでは無く自分の目で見れてよかったですし、喜ぶ高校生の顔を見れたのが何よりです。 今後もこの活動を続けていく予定です。プロジェクト名は「Chain The Music」で、 近々HP作って告知をしていこうと思ってます。今後ともどうぞご協力ください!

So, after the charity show for Tohoku musicians which we did in September, we continued collecting instruments and are now finally on our way to donate all the gear to Ishinomaki Kougyou High School. We have a full band kit including drums, bass, guitars and amps, PA gear, mics. Thanks again to all those who came to the show and donated instruments, and cash!!! Your Sunday night drinking has turned into instruments for kids in Tohoku!
