“I am very happy to have been able to spend this emotional and special moment here today with all the elderly people. Everyone was smiling, and even those who could not dance sang and clapped, giving us a sense of unity. We would like to thank all the artists, volunteers, and participants for their wonderful performances. Many people were able to participate thanks to the families who brought their seniors. Many people have asked us to hold this event again next year, and we hope to meet their expectations.”
