<p>Dear friends and supporters,</p>

<p>Thank you very much for your continued support. Thanks to all of you, <em>Global Community</em> has reached its 17th year since its founding, continuing to promote interaction between Japanese people and foreign residents in Japan.</p>

<p>Going forward, we will remain focused on issues that transcend ethnic boundaries—such as health, medical care, the environment, and cross-cultural exchange—and continue our steady efforts without forgetting our original mission. We look forward to your support again this year.</p>

<p>It has already been one year since the 13th International Red-White Singing Festival held during Expo 2025 Osaka–Kansai. This year, preliminary contests have been taking place monthly in Los Angeles since January, thanks to the cooperation of the Japan Singers Association Los Angeles Tomo-no-Kai and local Japanese language schools. The Los Angeles representative will be selected in August and join the Osaka event in November.</p>

<p>We are determined to make this another year of progress and success. Thank you again for your continued support.</p>
