In the second part, KCG's chorus circle U-Choir sang "Niji" and "Origami Tsuru" with great enthusiasm, and then all participants practiced Hibari Misora's famous song "Kawa no Nagare ni yoniwa" under the guidance of Mr. Yohei Yoshimura.After confirming their vocalization, the students were divided into high and low tones, and received instruction on the key points for singing well.At the end, all the participants went up on stage and filled the hall with their spacious harmonies.Ms. Tsumori, Ms. Kamikawa, and Ms. Mizutani, who performed in the first part, joined the chorus and enjoyed the joy of singing together with the participants.
