Megumi Yokota, a first-year junior high school student, held a concert in Niigata City where her classmates vowed to meet again in the 44th year since she was abducted by North Korea.
This concert is held every year by Megumi Yokota's elementary and junior high school classmates who were abducted by North Korea 44 years ago.
At the beginning, Sakie Yokota, her mother, said in a video message on the screen of the venue, "For a long time, people all over Japan have been supporting me so that Megumi will come back to Japan soon. I always pray, believing that will come. "
In addition, his younger brother Tetsuya, who visited the venue, said, "We are not aiming to hunt down North Korea, but only to return the abductees. I want North Korea to solve the problem. I complained.
At the concert, classmate and violinist Naoya Yoshida and Masaki Ikeda, the representative of the classmates' association, performed Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" to "Spring".
Megumi also sang "Tsubasa wo Kakeru", which she sang at the school competition, and thought about Megumi.
After the concert, Mr. Ikeda said, "A 13-year-old child has turned 57 after 44 years. I want him to come back tomorrow."
