A Unique Experience for Children: Classical Live Concert at Kanamachi Kids Club

On August 4, 2026, the Kanamachi Kids Club located in Katsushika City, Tokyo, will host the sixth edition of the 'One Million Classical Live' event. This initiative, organized by Asuka Corporation in collaboration with the Japan Small and Medium Enterprise Management Association and the 'One Million Classical Live' foundation, aims to introduce children to the vibrant world of live classical music.

What is Kanamachi Kids Club?

Managed by the Sukoyaka Welfare Association, Kanamachi Kids Club provides a safe and nurturing after-school environment for children. The facility promotes autonomy and social skills while ensuring that children engage in various activities, including play, inter-age interactions, and experiential learning. The ultimate goal is to create an environment where children can learn and grow together with their peers.

The Project Overview

The 'One Million Classical Live' project aims to make classical music more accessible to children. Unlike traditional concert halls, this initiative allows for a closer interaction between musicians and the young audience, creating an engaging atmosphere where children can feel the vibrations of the instruments and observe the musicians’ facial expressions closely. This close proximity fosters an immersive experience, enriching the children's understanding of and appreciation for music. Through direct communication with professional musicians, children are offered invaluable experiences that go beyond merely listening to music.
