"Lily's World Project" First Sri Lanka Tour

"Lily's World Project" First Edition

The first group tour from Japan to Sri Lanka!

This time, I went on a "giving back and giving back" trip to Sri Lanka with nearly 100 people.

Finally, after 72 years, the time has come to give back to Sri Lanka.

Did you know that Sri Lanka was the country that helped Japan when it was about to be colonized?

The then President Jayawardene said, "Hatred is not stopped by hatred, but by love."

Historically, this speech prevented Japan from being colonized and ensured the peaceful Japan we enjoy today.

I wonder how few Japanese people know this fact?

Now that Sri Lanka is in such a difficult situation with its economy collapsing, what can we Japanese do?

This miracle tour was made possible with the cooperation of the Sri Lankan government, inspired by the desire to "give back as a Japanese person!"

The warmth and kindness of the Sri Lankan people

Do you all love Japanese people?

Wherever I go, I say "Hello"

They greeted me in Japanese and treated me very politely.

Because we are both island nations

The warmth of people that feels somehow nostalgic

The tour members were in tears throughout the performance.

Before I knew it, I was hugging people everywhere.

Sri Lankans and Japanese

I was so moved that I was crying as I spoke...

Seeing that,

This was what we wanted to do

I am convinced once again!

Interactions with ministers and children,

Connecting the upper and lower layers at the same time

This will lead to world peace in the shortest possible time.

With this belief, we will continue to serve as a bridge between countries.

This time, in a special space called MIRACLEDOME, we will be working with Japanese artist Ayaka Mononobe.

The scene where "YURI " sings the national anthems of both countries on stage will be broadcast on national TV.

Something special is happening.
