EARTH×HEART LIVE 活動趣旨 音楽の力で国境を越え、世界へメッセージを発信


In 1990s, TOKYO FM held a concept of action “To create a network that connects emotionally with the youth of the world.”
As our station campaign we began the “Earth Conscious ~to love the earth and feel the Earth~” campaign, and as an action, we picked up trash with our listeners all over Japan using our 38 network stations, to help keep clean of this environment. We started this action to deal with the environmental problems of the country way before it became a social problem.
And as a symbol of this action, we held a special concert on April 22nd, Earth Day, to think about the earth. This started in 1990s, and ever since then we have been celebrating this day. The first concert was titled “ We Love Music, We Love the Earth” and the performer of this live was Sadao Watanabe, the most famous Japanese Jazz musician and he collaborated with musician from all over the world, in the most famous venue Nippon Budokan. This concert was then broadcasted through 22 countries and in 538 FM stations.

We received a message from Prime Minister Kaifu, and USA president George Bush. Furthermore, we received over 5,000 messages from all over the world, such stating that Japan, known at that time as an “economic animal” started to look into environmental issues, which brought surprise to the world.

“ Humans, from its behaviors and actions are punishing nature, earth, and life; which is unacceptable. To sing together, that is one step to awakening the soul for righteousness.”

“To think seriously about the earth environment is eventually the same as thinking seriously about ourselves.”

…these are an example of the few voices that we received from youths around the world.

Since then, we have been spreading this Earth Conscious message and am trying to reach and connect emotionally with youths all over the world.
In the year 2011, Tohoku earthquake and tsunami took away many “lives” and our “living environment.” This changed everyone’s perspective and sense of value. People questioned the power of electricity, and made us realize that we need to “share” the non ever lasting energy. It made us look into our lifestyle and brought us to see the problems of food, the problems of our children’s future, marine and air pollution; such problems that extended far more than what we see in our daily lives. This lead us to look, think and concern into a new way of living

The following year 2012, we started a new station campaign in addition to our our Earth Conscious concept due to the experience that Japan faced. Human Conscious ~to love life, and connect the heart~ was added to our Earth Conscious, and a new title was made. EARTH×HEART. These two words are made from the same alphabets. This campaign is made for us to love “life” and the “environment” that we are living in, and for us to re-think “our lifestyle (choices) as an Earth living man” that is sharing the Earth.

EARTH & HUMAN CONSCIOUS 未来へつなぐ“いのち”と“環境”


The relay of life that has been passed on to us through the time of 5 million years is now in our hands. The baton of “life” and “environment” that surrounds us, that is what we pass on to our future; and that is the reason EARTH×HEART became the new keyword of this project.

自然の循環の中にある私達の“いのち”


Our “life” that lies in the circulation of nature can not exist solely, and when we think about connecting “life” to the future we need to think about the circulation, which is made up of preciousness of each and every nature.

What TOKYO FM and JAPAN FM NETWORK can do is to send this message and to create an event where we can see and feel our listeners. Through “words” and “power of music” we need to send this knowledge so that it will lead to an action.

We are trying to spread the knowledge of the “circulation of nature,” which including forest, and water, that connects human “life” to the future through our EARTH& HUMAN CONCIOUS activities.
