• シェア

Earth Day Tokyo 2020, one of Japan's largest earth festivals, will be held online for the first time on April 18th (Sat) and 19th (Sun) on April 20th.

"Earth Day", which started on the West Coast of the United States in 1970, is an environmental event that calls attention to environmental issues. In Japan, a large-scale event was held for the first time in Japan, centering around Yoyogi Park in 1990, and has been held every Saturday and Sunday since 2001 as “Earth Day Tokyo”. The number of visitors is over 100,000 every year, and it is a regular large-scale outdoor event that colors Shibuya in spring. With the spread of the new coronavirus, this year will be the 20th time, and it will be the first online event without an outdoor event centered on Yoyogi Park.

2日間にわたるオンラインコンテンツの大きな柱は「音楽ステージ」「トークステージ」「オンラインブース」の３つ。「音楽ステージ」のメインステージでは、18日11時半〜19時、19日10時半〜18時半まで、いとうせいこう is the poet、加藤登紀子、ユサリサ、岡野弘幹ら多彩なミュージシャンやゲストのステージを配信。同時にハローアースステージでも18日12時半〜17時半、19日11時〜17時半まで、なぎら健壱、内田ボブと長沢哲夫（ナーガ）、MIDORINOMARU、TEX&SUN FLOWER SEED、樽木栄一郎らのライブパフォーマンスをYouTubeで届ける。

At the "Talk Stage", from 12 o'clock to 18 o'clock on the 18th, from 12 o'clock to 18 o'clock on the 19th, we will hold an online talk event where experts talk about various social issues such as global environment, gender, new coronavirus, etc. Think deeply with the participants about the “hopeous future”. In addition, at the "online booth," Zoom has created a new sensation booth where you can interact with participants online. Participants develop online workshops and discussions while communicating with each other.

In addition, C.W Nicole, who is the executive chairman of Earth Day Tokyo who died the other day, has left the following message for "Earth Day Tokyo 2020". “I feel that the connections between generations are becoming more disrupted as generations progress, technology advances, and the Web and digital advances. I am also worried that the Internet may change from blessing to curse. It is worrisome that we feel indifferent to the natural, innocent wonders and the simple beauty of nature. I think we have to work together with living moments in order to protect our sexuality and increase human diversity. Let's start walking with the living moments (partial excerpt). "

With more than 2 million people infected with the new coronavirus in the world, this weekend's two days will be more time for more people to "think about the earth" than ever before.
