As announced previously, the first large-scale live event organized by STARTO ENTERTAINMENT, “WE ARE! Let’s get the party STARTO!!,” will be held on April 10th at Tokyo Dome and on May 29th and 30th at Kyocera Dome Osaka.
Additionally, in a Fan Club newsletter earlier this morning, April 2nd, it was announced that the project “STARTO for you,” featuring 14 groups and 75 members, will release a charity single CD titled “WE ARE” on June 12th. The single will be available for early digital distribution on April 10th at 9:00 PM.
“WE ARE! Let’s get the party STARTO!!” is themed around the idea of “As we start a new company, what can we deliver to our fans and stakeholders who have continued to support us as before? We have also been thinking seriously about what we can do to help those affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake that struck at the beginning of this year.
Things that must change as we usher in a new era.
And the important things that must remain unchanged and protected.”
With these considerations in mind, the event aims to fully commit to what can be done now, embodying the determination to address these questions and changes wholeheartedly.
This heartfelt piece was crafted with the intention of offering music that can act as a beacon of hope for those enduring ongoing challenges and deep sorrow following the Noto Peninsula earthquake of 2024, wishing for their swift recovery and brighter days ahead.
“WE ARE” is an anthem of encouragement, urging people to press forward toward a brighter future despite the difficulties and sorrows encountered along life’s journey. It carries a message of solidarity and support to all those who find themselves wounded and saddened amidst the trials of life.
Participating groups include NEWS, SUPER EIGHT, KAT-TUN, Hey! Say! JUMP, Kis-My-Ft2, timelesz, A.B.C-Z, WEST., King & Prince, SixTONES, Snow Man, Naniwa Danshi, Travis Japan, and Ae! group.
Furthermore, this work serves as a charity song, with all proceeds from the production being donated in full to the victims of the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
