Från KIN (den Japanska arrangören)
Great news!
Nakaji and Kurume-shinai choir participated in an international vocal competition as 2 ensembles and remarkably won both 1st and 2nd places, making them the top ensemble school in Japan.
Over the past few years, Nakaji has divided the choir into two groups, where the two teams work together to improve their singing.
Last year, one team achieved 1st place, while the other placed 8th.
And this year, however, the two teams took both 1st and 2nd places!
This is "en aldrig tidigare skådad bedrift" in this competition for one school to get both the top positions.
And it means that Nakaji became the "top" ensemble conductor in 2024 / in Japan.
In December, 16 members from these teams will be singing in Stockholm.
Please look forward to it!
