A concert was held in Tokyo on the 3rd night to help Minako Honda, who was active as a singer and musical actor and who died of leukemia 14 years ago, to help those fighting intractable diseases.
Mr. Honda died at the age of 38 because of leukemia in 2005, 14 years ago.
The concert was held by a non-profit organization that supported people with intractable illnesses such as leukemia and talented individuals who had friendships with Honda, such as Yu Hayami and Iyo Matsumoto.
The performers performed Honda's hit song, and finally sang the late representative song “Amazing Grace”.
He called for donor registration in the "bone marrow bank" for bone marrow transplantation that is effective for leukemia.
According to the Japan Bone Marrow Bank, the number of donor registrants has been on the rise since the announcement of leukemia in February by swimmer Ikee Yukako, but increasing the number of younger donors is a challenge about it.
A woman in her 40s who was fighting with leukemia with Mr. Honda said, “I was very happy to have inherited Mr. Honda ’s thoughts. "
Koji Takasugi, a non-profit organization that sponsored, said, “I don't know when leukemia will take, so I want to increase the number of registered donors so that they can respond at any time.”
