To mark the 2nd anniversary of Tohoku Disaster, on the 16th March (Sat) Gakunowa will take part in the Na mo Nai Kizuna Project (roughly 'Unseen Ties Project') at Elixir Bar in London. During this event people in countries all over the World will sing "Na mo Nai Kizuna", a song specially made to support the Tohoku region of Japan after the earthquake/tsunami disaster in 2011, which will then be broadcast over USTREAM radio. We will also hold our own live event on this day so if you would like to get involved either as an organiser please come to our meeting on 26th February (Tues) at the Penderel's Oak in Holborn. We're gonna start from 7.30.
