On stage, nationality, gender, religion, and language no longer matter.
Everyone—including the audience—becomes one.
Would you like to create such a moment with your own hands?
Skill level doesn’t matter at all.
No experience necessary—everyone is welcome! Over two months, you’ll dance, sing, and share stories with 50 teammates,
and together create one unforgettable performance.
Beyond that stage lies a future
where people support and care for each other across borders.
A future we can co-create together.
A single stage—beyond all borders.

OUR CONTENTS
What’s included in the program?
Weekly Practice(8 sessions in total)
Each week, we practice singing, dancing, and acting as a team. Japanese and non-Japanese members collaborate using gestures, expressions, and shared communication to create a single piece together.
Social Events&Cultural Exchange
Outside of practice, we host events where you can relax and connect more casually—sharing hobbies, discussing culture, and enjoying fun games together.
Diverse Workshops
In addition to performance training, you’ll join workshops with people from all over the world. These activities help deepen your self-awareness, discover new values, and build strong bonds with teammates.
Final Stage Performance
At the end of the 8 weeks, we will present our creation to a live audience in a professional hall equipped with lighting and sound. This one-time stage will become a lifelong treasure for you.

This is more than sightseeing or café small talk. Creating something together over 8 weeks allows you to connect deeply with Japanese people in a genuine, meaningful way.
Learn real Japanese and culture
Through conversation and collaboration, you’ll experience Japanese language and culture in ways you won’t find in textbooks. Weekly interactions help improve your Japanese skills naturally.
Create unforgettable memories
Meet 50 new friends, share stories, laugh together, and perform on stage in a large venue. This 8-week journey will make your time in Japan truly special.

WELCOME!!
No worries, even if…
…I’ve never done dance, singing, or acting.
No problem! Most participants are beginners. Our friendly instructors will guide you step by step. Let’s grow together!
…I’m nervous to join alone.
Many participants join solo! There are plenty of ways to naturally connect and feel at home in the group.
…I don’t speak Japanese or English at all.
That’s okay! What matters most is your desire to connect. Smiles and gestures go a long way—and multilingual staff will support you throughout.
…I might not make it every week.”
While full participation is ideal, we offer flexibility and support when needed. We’ll help you catch up if you miss a session. Together, we’ll all be on stage.

ARCHIVE
OUR LAST SHOW
In September 2024,
we brought together an audience of 1,100 in Kanagawa and created a single stage performance with 12 children from six countries—Mozambique, India, Thailand, Zambia, Cambodia, and Nepal—alongside 50 Japanese cast members and a team of 100 staff and crew.
For all 12 children, it was their very first time traveling abroad and visiting Japan.
Through encountering new cultures, people, and the atmosphere of a large-scale stage, this experience became the beginning of a new chapter in each of their lives.
