On Wednesday, December 17, 2025, the gospel group Gifts was invited to ALSOK Life Care in Nakano Ward, Tokyo, where they presented a Christmas gospel concert. The group performed four songs, including “Silent Night,” sharing the joy of gospel music with approximately 30 attendees.
Staff members and residents joined in enthusiastically—raising their hands, swaying to the rhythm, and celebrating together—making it a truly joyful and blessed occasion.
After the concert, many warm comments were shared, such as, “Gospel music is wonderful as always. We look forward to it every year,” “We were all encouraged,” and “We want to hear more gospel music.”
This Christmas concert can be viewed on Gifts’ Instagram:

On Saturday, December 20, L’abeille performed a gospel concert at a welfare facility in Tokyo.
The group sang a variety of songs, including well-known Christmas hymns such as “Silent Night” and “Joy to the World,” along with songs from Kaze no Hibiki and Yasuragi no Uta, including “Great Love,” “Hana,” and “God Be With You.” During “Great Love” and “Hana,” some attendees joyfully sang along.
The song “God Is Love” was performed twice, including an encore, and each time the audience joined in by forming the letter “L” with their hands and singing together.
Many people called out, “That was so much fun—please come again,” and the time was filled with smiles and joy. The members expressed heartfelt thanks to God for the opportunity to sing gospel music together with everyone.
On December 20, GRACIOUS DOORS held a volunteer concert at a day service center in Tokyo, welcoming around 20 attendees.
Everyone sang several Christmas songs together, and between the songs, the group was able to share stories about Jesus in a warm and natural way.
They also sang “Kansha Man” together with guitar accompaniment, creating a lively and uplifting atmosphere.
One elderly woman seated toward the back appeared unwell at first, but during her favorite song, “Blue Mountains,” she was supported by a nurse beside her and joyfully joined in with hand clapping. Later, during “You Are All Right,” she closed her eyes, gently moved her hands to the rhythm, and listened with a peaceful expression.
Other attendees also expressed their delight, saying, “It was so much fun!” The group offered heartfelt thanks to God for blessing the concert.
A gospel gathering will be held at Tokyo Antioch Church on Saturday, December 27th, starting at 6:30 PM. Let us share a wonderful gospel moment together! Please invite your family and friends to join us.
The gathering will also be streamed online.
