The second part features renowned voice actress Yumi Kakazu, best known for her role as Shizuka in the beloved anime 'Doraemon', who will narrate the enchanting tale of 'Sleeping Beauty', accompanied by the illustrious Japan Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. This interaction allows young minds to visualize stories through sound, experiencing the depth and beauty of classical music.

In addition to the concert, a Christmas market will be held throughout Secion Suginami, offering gourmet dishes from food trucks, engaging workshops, and fun games for attendees to enjoy before and after the main event.
