Our support for music-related organizations has been accredited as "This is MECENAT" by the Association for Corporate Support of the Arts (a public interest incorporated association) since 2016.

Kitakyushu Music Association  

This association periodically holds concerts of association members, offers on-site concert services, and performs various other activities.
Our donations are used to hold on-site concerts at elementary and junior high schools and hospitals as well as to hold concerts of young musicians (regional culture support and promotion programs).

NS Symphony Orchestra  

The orchestra consists of current and former employees of Nippon Steel Group and related persons, encompassing a wide age range.
One of their major activities is holding a concert once a year at Kioi Hall (hosted by the NIPPON STEEL Arts Foundation (an incorporated foundation)). Our donations are used to carry out their group-wide activities.

"Dento Geino Wo Tanoshimu Kai," a forum of people who want to enjoy traditional arts  

This cultural activity started in 2017. Events mainly concerning classical rakugo are held in Akihabara Daibiru Building, where our Tokyo Headquarters is located.
With the motto of "Make classical performing arts more accessible and enjoyable," we use our creativity to plan events.
In November 2019, we held the fourth session in a series of events on the topic of Edo's food culture.
The event, which consisted of three parts, namely a workshop on the history of the development of four major special foods in Edo, kodan storytelling about food, and rakugo, won high accolades.
