CEIPA Joint New Year’s Greeting Reception for Five Music Organizations

Attended the Joint New Year's Greeting Reception hosted by the five CEIPA music organizations.

Prime Minister Takaichi and former Prime Minister Ishiba were in attendance, and it’s reported that over 3,000 people attended!

The event was so well-attended that I found myself wondering, “I wonder what they’ll do about the venue going forward?” It really made me keenly aware of the passion and reach of the music and content industries.
