<🇯🇵🇺🇸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!
