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.
