<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Regarding the International Red and White Singing Festival in 2025:</strong></span></p>

<p>Since its launch in 2011, this event has been able to reach a highly meaningful stage, thanks to the strong support of the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau.</p>

<p>We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us along the way.</p>

<p>This year as well, a selection event will be held in São Paulo, Brazil, in July, and two representatives will be invited to participate as singers at the Osaka-Kansai Expo event. This year marks the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Brazil, and many people are expected to come from Brazil as well.　<a href="https://sustainable.japantimes.com/magazine/vol44/44-01">https://sustainable.japantimes.com/magazine/vol44/44-01</a></p>
