32 talents of Les Pro Entertainment to create charity song, “Niji no Mukou e”

Les Pro Entertainment, the agency of actress Kawashima Umika and some of the members of the idol group Idoling!!!, announced on May 4th that they will be starting a music charity project called “Les Pro Happy Charity Music Division“.

32 talents, including the idol group 9nine, Kikuchi Ami and Okawa Ai of Idoling!!!, Nakamura Aoi, and Nakano Yuta will work together to release the charity song, “Niji no Mukou e“.

The project was started in order to create a song with the message, “Even when painful things happen, you are not alone! Let’s walk forward together!” The song will be written by the creator group agehasprings, who also produces the artists YUKI, Nakajma Mika, and Superfly.


“Niji no Mukou e” (or “Over the Rainbow”) will be released as a ringtone on June 15th, with the CD to follow on July 27th. All of the profits from sales will be donated to earthquake relief efforts through the Japanese Red Cross Society.

Kawashima commented, “This time, I will be participating in the ‘Les Pro Happy Charity Music Division’, and (I) am already motivated. With 9nine, I sing and dance, so I am happy that this is a music division. Above all else, through music, I want to work hard to cheer up the people listening. The recording will be happening later, and in my mind, I will be singing while thinking of the theme of ‘bond’.”

She later mentioned the collabo with the pair of Idoling!!! girls, “Another point (of interest) is the collaboration with two members of Idoling!!!. I’m looking forward to it, but at the same time, in order to not lose to the two’s immense power, I think 9nine will have to work hard! I hope the harmony of everyone in ‘Les Pro Happy CHari Music Club’ can resonate all over Japan.”
