https://ad.fants.jp/portalink/kataoka-mika ■Owner’s message I’ve loved singing since I was little, and I’ve performed on many stages. But there were days when I couldn’t sing the way I wanted, and I shed tears of frustration. But even so, singing has always been there for me. Singing, using my voice, was a source of comfort for me. That’s why I wanted to create a place where children could also gain confidence through singing. “Utagoe Club” is not just a class for improving your singing. This is a place where children can learn to love their own voice and develop the ability to convey their feelings. Rather than just “singing well,” this is an experience that makes them realize “it’s okay to use their voice.” This first step will lead to children’s self-esteem and rich imaginations. We now live in an age where AI technology has advanced to the point where any voice can be reproduced. That’s why I believe that conveying your thoughts with your own voice is more meaningful than ever. My hope is that in the future, this initiative will expand from Hiroshima to the entire country, so that children can accumulate a sense of accomplishment and become proud of their own voices. I would be delighted to enjoy this “vocal adventure” with friends all over the country. ■Main content
