●What about Habaki memorial conert?
Since meeting of HIV-infected hemophilia patient with musician. Circle of sympathy expanded and spread to the number of musicians. And this is how Habataki concert began. As repeated concert, this circle has been increasing and we have been greeting growing of new comers.
Eighteen years has passed settlement. It is regrettable that our tragic medical-induced HIV incidents is dwindling with the passage of time. However, our comrades are still fighting against disease. Which means tragedy never ends.
We trust our hope to this concert while not forgetting the lessons provided by this incident and passing down to another people.
We think that these music our hope place in, which will beat our society louder.
