Panda no Yume

[Machine Translation] The song "Panda's Dream" was written under the supervision of Ms. Reiko Yukawa for the purpose of spreading understanding of the protection of the giant panda, a rare animal, throughout the world, including the establishment of the Giant Panda Protection Support Fund. April 1, 2011. On April 1, 2011, a panda arrived at the Ueno Zoo for the first time in three years after a long journey from its birthplace in China. After the unprecedented earthquake disaster, "Li Li" and "Xin Xin" were opened to the public at the Ueno Zoo. The visit of these two pandas to Japan triggered the establishment of the "Ueno Panda Welcoming Committee," a group of companies large and small, as well as the shopping district centering on Ueno, to unite their names. The economic effect of the pandas' visit to Japan is estimated to be about 20 billion yen through the sale of related goods. Nozomi Ohashi, aka "Non-chan," who was selected as the "Ueno Panda Welcoming Ambassador," will sing and dance with her dreams and hopes for the panda!
