“Gifts” performed a concert at a psychiatric hospital in Dazaifu for the first time in three years.
We’ve heard that the hospital had stopped accepting volunteers for three years, but “Gifts” became a restart group. There were also people listening with tears in their eyes, deeply moved by the gospel music. They sold about 10 CDs, so praise the Lord.
“Gifts” held a concert in Aso
It was a truly blessed concert. Some said they were encouraged by the performance.

Gospel enka singer Hoshina was invited to a thanksgiving gathering in Nishi Tokyo City, where he performed gospel enka songs, including Japanese popular music, as well as our original gospel enka songs such as “Than Than Thanks” and “Endless Journey”.
The atmosphere at the lively gathering of thanksgiving was heightened by people waving fans of gratitude and praise, creating an atmosphere of excitement and blessings.
He also interacted with the host, a local FM personality, who encouraged him to promote himself through radio appearances and street live performances.
