Regarding the International Red and White Singing Festival in EXPO2025

Since its launch in 2011, this event has been able to reach a highly meaningful stage, thanks to the strong support of the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us along the way.

This year as well, a selection event will be held in São Paulo, Brazil, in July, and two representatives will be invited to participate as singers at the Osaka-Kansai Expo event.
