“Friends of the United Nations Asia-Pacific”, a non-profit organization based in the Asia Pacific region, will hold a charity aid event fifty days after the day of the Great Tohoku Kanto Earthquake on April 28th and 29th, and it will be entitled, “Friend’s Whistle! Act for Tomorrow!”, featuring Shimizu Shota, Choshinsei, and Becky♪♯ among others at Pacifico Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture.

The inspiration behind the name of the event, “Friend’s Whistle!”, comes from the idea that a whistle is an effective tool for alerting others that an individual is in danger or is still alive, and it is therefore a reassuring thing to have.

With the hope that music will be a force that encourages positive, forward thinking, “Friend’s Whistle!” will accept donations of CD players, portable music players, instruments, and so on, in addition to monetary contributions, all of which will be passed on to the affected regions.

“Friend’s Whistle” will feature performances by Park Jung Min of SS501 on the 28th, and Shimizu Shota, Choshinsei, Becky♪♯, and JYONGRI on the 29th. Other participants will be announced in the near future.
