<🇯🇵🇺🇸Japan Parade on Saturday, May 10th‼️>
NYC Central Park West will become "Japan" again this year!
In New York, where a wide variety of people have built history,
There is no Little Tokyo or official Japanese town in New York.
Until now, there has never been a parade that could express "Japan."
Under the overall direction of the Japanese Ambassador and Consulate General in NY, Japanese companies, Japanese people in the U.S., Americans who love Japan, etc. are joining forces to create a colorful parade filled with a variety of old and new Japanese culture. The 4th Japan Parade, the first official parade in New York City, will be held on May 10th❗️
Among them
I have been singing as part of the New York community for 28 years since 1997, and I organize the Harlem Japanese Gospel Choir.
For the fourth year in a row, we will be riding on a precious float and singing gospel songs in the parade!
A day to promote Japan, introduce traditional Japanese culture, new pop culture, technology and food, demonstrate exchange between Japan and the US, and express gratitude to New York.
If you're in NY on May 10th, please join us in celebrating Japan in NY!

<NY初上陸の日本のドーナツ店に行列！>
The popular fresh donut shop in Japan, "I'm donut?"
April 22nd,
It opened in the heart of New York City in Times Square.
Three years after the idea was first conceived,
After much deliberation, they decided to choose New York, the home of donuts, for their first overseas expansion.
Moreover, tourists from all over the world
Times Square is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Moreover, out of the 15 menu items
Nine varieties are exclusive to New York
There's been a line since it opened.
Vegan donuts, matcha, sake, teriyaki, BLT sandwich (bacon lettuce tomato sandwich), etc.
You can enjoy amazing donuts that are both visually and tasting in a simple, wabi-sabi interior and display.
The price is
$4 to $13 each
(Approximately 600 yen to 2000 yen).
Will the popularity of Japanese fresh sweets take hold in New York, the birthplace of trends?
I want to enjoy eating it and support it.
