• Japan Charity Concert 2003

Loose translation into English:

        It is my great pleasure to present the BPM Charity Music Festival 20th Anniversary Special "Paul Mauriat Grand Orchestra Kitakyushu Concert".

        This year marks the 20th anniversary of the BPM Support Group, and I would like to express my sincere respect for their energetic and dedicated activities to date in nurturing visually impaired musicians, providing them with opportunities to perform, and giving them courage and hope through music.

        This year's Charity Music Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary with a special performance by the Paul Mauriat Grand Orchestra, which is loved and continues to fascinate the world.

        In addition to supporting the musical activities of the visually impaired, BPM supporters have also been supporting various aspects of community life. The proceeds from this charity music festival will be donated to the Fukuoka Guide Dogs for the Blind Foundation and will be used to subsidize the cost of joint training with guide dogs for individuals with disabilities. Thank you again for your broad support for the visually impaired.

        Our city aims to "realize a society in which people with disabilities can live naturally in the community." We hope that this charity music festival will continue to grow and promote the independence and social participation of people with disabilities.         We would like to express our gratitude to everyone involved for their efforts in organizing this event and wish the BPM Support Group continued growth and success in the Charity Music Festival.
