<Tree planting in Ishinomaki, March 2018>
In March of this year, we planted cherry trees along the coast of Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture. This was made possible through our work with Orgabits on last year's tour, and we planted trees thinking of all the fans who supported this project. It's still a small seedling, but I'm looking forward to the day when I can enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom together with my fans and locals while watching the growth. I am happy to be able to do this again this year, as I did last year.
The goods this time have a motif of "single" after the tour concept, but the design is finished so that it can be used not only at the tour venue but also for everyday use. I am very particular about the comfort of both the T-shirt and the hoodie, so I'm looking forward to everyone wearing them.

Sakura Namiki Project
The "Sakura Namiki Project" is an activity by the NPO Sakura Namiki Network to plant cherry trees in the areas reached by the tsunami that occurred in the Tohoku region during the Great East Japan Earthquake, in order to prevent the disaster from fading.
The Great East Japan Earthquake, which struck suddenly on March 11, 2011, was a devastating disaster that left more than 20,000 people dead or missing. The Tohoku region has experienced many tsunami-related disasters in the past. Looking back at history, a big tsunami always hits Sanriku once every 100 years. It is necessary to pass down the story of this great tsunami from generation to generation and make efforts to never forget the damage.
In the hope that it will serve as a target of "evacuation" in the event of a large tsunami predicted in the future and play a role in protecting the residents, we decided to plant cherry blossoms at the arrival point of the tsunami and create a memorable row of cherry blossom trees. rice field. The "Sakura Namiki Project" was launched by the people of Tohoku who have a strong desire to plant cherry trees and volunteers who are involved in flowers. We started planting trees in the spring of 2012, and by the spring of 2018, we had planted 5,063 cherry trees in Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate prefectures.

What is the Orgabits Project?
About 15% of the world's pesticides and about 7% of the pesticides used* are used* in the cultivation of cotton, which is used as a raw material for clothing. Environmental and social issues are intertwined. On the other hand, organic cotton is cotton that has been organically grown on farmland that has not used pesticides or chemical fertilizers for more than three years. The widespread use of organic cotton is expected to reduce the use of conventional cotton cultivation methods and improve the problems in the world's growing regions.
"Orgabits" is an organic cotton spread project that started in 2006 with the idea that everyone should contribute to the global environment and producers little by little. In order to facilitate the use and spread of organic cotton, about 100 brands are currently participating, with a cumulative total of 684, based on the "reversal idea" of delivering 100% of the product to 100 times the number of people, regardless of the amount of 100% used in one garment. We produce over 10,000 items. The activity has expanded to support farmers in the country of origin and NPO corporations, and the circle of social contribution activities that can be participated in on a daily basis through one piece of clothing is also expanding.
