    Spring Love Harukaze: Charity Event for the Great Eastern Japan
    Earthquake to be held April 2-3 in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park

    After much deliberation, the organizing committee of Spring Love Harukaze 2011 has decided to hold the event as scheduled, although with various changes in light of the recent disaster.

    As everyone is aware, the earthquake and tsunami have caused extensive damage in the region of eastern Japan. As a result, in addition to the event themes of considering environmental, peace and human rights issues via music and art, this year's event will also focus upon fundraising for disaster relief for those in the affected areas. Morever, the event will also include a lineup of speakers addressing theissue of nuclear power, which continues to cause worry in light of ongoing events at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

    Due to concerns regarding the use of electricity, fuel and other materials, we will help to direct these resources toward the areas where they are needed most by making this year's Spring Love Harukaze event as simple as possible and minimizing our environmental footprint wherever we can. On Saturday April 2nd (which will be a day of remembrance for those killed in the disaster), both the Spring and the Love stages will be run entirely on solar power, with all live performances being acoustic. The day's lineup will include a performance by gospel singer (and Spring Love Harukaze committee director) Yuka Kamebuchi, whose ensemble VOJA will sing an a capella requium for those whose lives were lost.

    We are also aiming to reduce the costs for this year's event in order to direct as many funds as possible toward disaster relief. While we had originally planned to increase the number of stages and enlarge the children's area, we have revised these plans in light of the recent events. There will again be two stages and a kids area as in past years, and we will also attempt to provide as much warm, delicious food and drink service as possible. We ask for your understanding, however, regarding the fact that bench seating and lights at the event will be available only minimally. We ask, therefore, that those who attend the event please be responsible for bringing your own blankets, chairs, lights and candles.

    We are presently researching which disaster relief organizations to send donations collected during the event, and will make this information available shortly on our website. http://www.balance-web.com/harukaze/
    This year's event lineup is as follows:

    in order to come to the event. (Please leave extra time, however, in
    case of scheduled blackouts.)

    ☆ This is a good opportunity to see friends that you have not seen since the disaster, and to to enjoy each other's company while you take in the cherry blossoms, music, DJs and talk events. Due to continuing aftershocks and the nuclear power plant situation, however, we ask that you please pay attention to news reports before deciding whether to attend.

    ☆ Event updates will be available on our website:

    Finally, we send our greatest thanks in advance to all artists, speakers, and event attendes for makng this year's event possible!!

    Message from the Spring Love Harukaze event organizers

    After deliberation amongst our members, the decision has been made to hold Spring Love Harukaze as scheduled on April 2-3, 2011.

    The event itself, however, will be significantly different from those held in 2010 and 2011. Due to the recent disaster, resources such as electricity, materials, gasoline, etc. are being directed toward the areas where they are needed the most. As a result, we are aiming to make the Spring Love Harukaze 2011 event as simple as possible under these circumstances.

    At present, the purpose and the theme of this year's event are scheduled to be as follows:

    ☆ Providing support and donations to those affected by the earthquake and tsunami

    ☆ Holding a memorial for those killed in the disaster

    ☆ Rethinking the issue of nuclear power

    Event details at this point are as follows:

    Dates: Saturday, April 2nd / Sunday, April 3rd

    Time: Noon to sunset on both days

    Location: To be announced

    Please be aware that since everything is in flux at this moment, changes may occur with regard to event scheduling. We will announce all information on this website as soon as it has been decided. Many thanks in advance for your understanding.

    Additionally, a charity event for those affected by the disaster will be held on Thursday, March 24 at Shinsekai in Nishi Azabu(http://shinsekai9.jp/), which will also serve as a Spring Love Harukaze pre-event. Again, details will be announced here shortly.

    We offer our sincere thanks for your support, and look forward to seeing you soon.

    Spring Love has a “gomi-zero” ("no garbage") policy

    Please leave the venue as clean as you found it by separating your trash at one of the provided garbage stations. Garbage cleanup is an extremely expensive undertaking, and if this policy is not respected, we may not be able to offer this free festival in the future. Show some spring love by supporting "gomi-zero" !!


    Volunteers needed before and during the event!!

    We are recruiting Volunteers for SPRING LOVE (Harukaze).We ask anyone with ideas and passion regarding our peaceful shared future to please contact us and help support our Party for Peace!

    We are looking for those who can help us before the event dates and during the event for the following tasks: Site management, translation/interpretation, cleanup, various administrative tasks,
    etc. If you are able to help, please contact us at tomoakimurakami@gmail.com.


    The Harukaze Organization

    Spring Love Harukaze is put together by a collective of individuals who aim to use the power of messages, ideas, expression and art to create a positive shared future that is built upon ideals such as peace, ecology and culture.

    All staff, activists and artists are working on an entirely volunteer basis, and Spring Love Harukaze is funded entirely by the donations of like-minded individuals, as well as sales from goods during the event.


    Fundraising

    SPRING LOVE (Harukaze) will have several fundraising collection boxes placed on site. This event is not possible without the voluntary work of our staff, and your donations will be an essential force for this
    free event to continue in the future. We ask all attendees to stand up for SPRING LOVE and its peaceful and progressive causes for future generations to come!
