On December 1, 2025, children from four children’s care homes in Higashi-Osaka—Ikoma Gakuen, Koutoku Gakuen, Kouyou Gakuen, and Wakae Gakuin—gathered at Hanazono Rugby Stadium for an exchange event.

Together with ATSUSHI and AKIRA from EXILE, Jin and Shogo Iwaya from THE RAMPAGE, and the band the TOM & JERRY, we created a heart-stirring stage filled with music and performance.

Following performances by the children, the program continued with a variety of acts, including a set by the TOM & JERRY, vocal performances by ATSUSHI, and dance performances by AKIRA, Jin, and Shogo Iwaya to accompany the music.

In the grand finale, everyone joined together to dance “Choo Choo TRAIN,” turning the entire venue into a warm, joy-filled space where smiles spread all around.

We hope that this experience will help the children gain confidence and nurture new hopes for the future, and we are committed to continuing these efforts. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported and cooperated with this event.

In line with the policies of each facility, photos and videos from this event are shared only to a minimal extent.
