The 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake and the September 2018 Heavy Rainfall
The Noto Peninsula earthquake occurred while Shima coincidentally was arranging her flight tickets to Japan.
It was also when she had just arrived in the UK after the SuperDuo concert in Tokyo that the disaster-stricken area was hit by record-breaking rainfall.
Realising that this is a severe blow for the people who are in the middle of the recovery process and seeing that people were facing considerable difficulties, Shima asked Midori, who was scheduled to visit the UK in spring 2025, if there was anything they could do to help.
In fact, Midori had already been to the town of Suzu, the area which had suffered most extensive damage by the earthquake and the rainfall, performing a community-based project in 2010.
Since then, she had kept in touch with Mr. Mizukami, a Suzu resident.
Here, Super Duo would like to connecting the town of Suzu on the Noto Peninsula, the area that was hit hardest by the earthquake, with the town of Amersham near London, where the concert will be held, through music and more.
令和6年能登半島地震と9月豪雨能登半島地震は、偶然にもShimaが日本行の航空券を手配中に発生していました。
さらに、被災地が記録的豪雨に見舞われたのはShimaが東京公演を終えイギリスに降り立った時。
復興途中に新たな被害が広がり、困難に直面している方々を目の当たりにし、何かできることはないかと、2025年春に訪英が決まったMidoriに持ちかけます。
2010年、甚大な被害のあった珠洲市でMidoriは地域密着型事業を行って以来、交流を続けてきた珠洲市在住の水上氏と連絡が通じたのです。
そこでSuper Duoならではのアイデアで、甚大な被害のあった能登半島・珠洲市（Suzu）の現在の様子と、また地震以前の珠洲の様子の両方を紹介し、海外の人たちに、いつが珠洲をおとづれてみたいと思ってもらえるようなコンサートを、音楽プラスαで繋ぐ試みをしてみたいと思うようになりました.
