Rhythmic gymnastics club at Tokyo Women's University of Physical Education and junior college holds on-campus presentation to support disaster victims

The rhythmic gymnastics clubs of Tokyo Women's University of Physical Education and Tokyo Women's Physical Education Junior College will hold on-campus presentations at the arena on the university campus in Kunitachi City, Tokyo, on the 12th and 16th to support victims of disasters such as the Kumamoto Earthquake and the Chiba Heavy Rains. 89 club members and children from the Junior Youth Club will perform a variety of dances. At the time of admission, we will collect 1,000 yen from the general public and 500 yen from students at Tokyo Women's University and Junior College, all of which will be donated.

Tokyo Women's University is known as a powerhouse in rhythmic gymnastics, and has sent many athletes to the Olympics. The recital is a separate event from the competition, and is an event that the club cherishes, with all club members participating and creating their own props. After the on-campus presentation, the presentation will be held on the 20th at the Yoyogi 2nd Gymnasium in Tokyo, which is so popular that all seats are already sold out.

Manager Erika Akiyama, who has participated in the Olympics twice, says, ``Because everyone is involved, each member of the club is able to work independently.The desire to make something even a little better than last year is what motivates the students each time.''
