Natsuko Uchida) will be held on September 25, 2024 (Wednesday) at Tsurumi Civic Cultural Center Salvia Hall, and October 2, 2024 (Wednesday) at Ota Civic Hall Aprico.
We will be holding a family concert titled “Autumn Music Picture Book” with the theme of “life” in the small hall.
A concert that uses the cries of babies in attendance as a performance. All COCOHE concerts are open to children under the age of 0, and babies’ cries are part of the performance.
In particular, this “Autumn Music Picture Book” incorporates the sound of a baby’s cry in an easy-to-understand manner, creating a stage that is created in unison with the audience.

This video is from the previous performance. This is a scene at the end of the story that requires a baby’s cry.
In this scene, the impression changes depending on how the babies in the venue make their voices and cry.
A live performance has the joy and beauty of a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and this work is a work in which the babies create a special impression that can only be experienced at that time and at that venue.
The reason I decided to create a piece like this was that even if I told them, “It’s OK if the baby cries!”, mothers still tend to be concerned about their babies when they cry, and they end up crying during the performance. I felt that the children were nervous about the situation, so I thought that if I created a concert in which the work would be more interesting if the baby was crying, moms and dads would be able to enjoy the concert with more peace of mind.
Scene from the performance
Enjoy a full-fledged performance with a cry
Our concerts have been performed with a lot of crying. We have never had any complaints because the mothers and fathers at the venue participate with a sense of mutual respect.
Of course, if your baby is uncomfortable or having a hard time, we will ask you to take care of it, but for example, if your baby is just sleepy and crying, you can put him to sleep and enjoy the music in the concert venue.
I often hear from people who have cried on the train and felt bad about the unkind words from those around them, but in this concert hall, we want you to enjoy yourself without having to worry about that. Masu.
Many of our members and staff have experience raising children, and we hope that they will be able to help many moms raise their children and how difficult it is to raise children. We continue to perform in this style.
Customers who saw last year’s “Autumn Music Picture Book” commented, “I thought it was wonderful that the baby’s cry was part of the performance,” and “It was really good! Even the children enjoyed listening to the first half.” As a parent, I cried during the second half! Thank you so much for being so moving.” “Your singing ability was amazing! I used to go to classical concerts a lot when I was single, and it was easy to bring my baby with me. However, I want children to be exposed to music and art, so I really like the concept! Thank you for your wonderful activities!”

Touched by the girl’s kindness, the two quickly become friends, and in return, the bear cub guides the girl to his favorite place.
