Crown Princess Kiko attended the “ninth charity concert sung by cancer patients” held at the Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, on Sunday.

About 150 cancer patients in their 40s to 80s and their families sang Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 “An die Freude” (“Ode to Joy”) in a choir accompanied by an orchestra. When the choir finished, Crown Princess Kiko and the audience applauded for several minutes.
