Unleashing a cascade of vibrant sound

kizunaworld.org was launched by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Tomoyasu Hirano. Under the concept of "doing everything we can with individual effort," the project widely collects and offers works from artists who support it, both domestically and internationally, to solicit donations. This initiative continues to provide ongoing support, connecting individual sentiments beyond its second year.

The 27th release is a musical work composed by experimental electronic artist Daedelus. The track is titled "All Around You."

The moment you listen, you feel as if you are slowly enveloped in a colorful veil of sound. It permeates your being warmly, and as the title suggests, it evokes the presence of the many people around us.

"No matter how difficult a challenge it may be to face a major earthquake, no matter if what we have built is about to crumble, I long for those who listen to this music to feel the support from those around them." Daedelus shared this message upon providing the track.




The system allows for downloading the work by making a donation of any amount from ¥1,000 to ¥20,000 via PayPal. The full amount of collected donations (excluding payment processing fees) is equally distributed to five representative organizations in the fields of "medical care," "children," "food," "housing," and "energy" for "support needed now" in the affected areas, with donations made quarterly.
