This event is organized by Kenshi Maeda, a representative of Visual Information Support Radio, a general incorporated association, who himself became totally blind due to retinitis pigmentosa. Support Radio representative Kenshi Maeda, who himself is totally blind due to retinitis pigmentosa. His vision gradually deteriorated from the age of 27, when he was working as a cram school teacher, and he lost his vision completely in his late 30s. It was difficult to continue working as a tutoring teacher, which had been his calling, as before, and there was a long period of time when he lost sight of his goals. In 2018, a friend and I started an internet radio program for the visually impaired, and through the music section of the program, I met many visually impaired artists and was exposed to their wonderful music, and I came to believe that there is a place for me even if I am blind, and I began to look forward and work I began to look forward to the future. What started there was the "Charity Music Festival Super Live. He called out to visually impaired musicians he had connected with on the radio, and many of them came together.
The first time we had an audience of around 60 people, in the third year we had about 200 people, last year, the fifth year, we had 409 people, and this October we had 597 people.
This year, for the first time, we are holding a charity concert in December for a Christmas project ！

We hope that many people will come and
through the wonderful music of blind artists and lectures and talks about visual impairment, we hope to bring a "light of hope" to many people who are having difficulty living now by giving them a new discovery and inspiration.
