On the 16th of March, I performed at a Japanese charity event organised by GAKUNOWA, a London Japanese community. I choose red and white clothes for this event to symbolise the Japanese flag. Also I was wearing a T-shirt featuring the seismological graph of that strongest earthquake that caused tsunami in Japan in 2011. I designed those T-shirts and produced them with my mates Linda Wagner and Sathyaprakash Jyan at Heriot-Watt University, School of Textiles and Design, in Scotland.
Thus my performance implied 5 messages:
・the introduction speech: ‘Disasters remind people that our planet is alive and that we have to care about our nature. I am going to sing a song in the name of our Mother Nature.’
・the embroidery of my T-shirt in the shape of the earthquake that caused tsunami
・my red and white outfit in the colours of the Japanese flag
・my song ‘The Voice Of Nature’ with a volcano eruption sample in the middle part
・final message: ‘Be a piece of the world for peace in the world.’
