At the facility, a local music group made up of individuals with intellectual disabilities performed the hit song “Kaze ni Naritai” (I want to become the wind). Princess Kako joined in by shaking a maraca in her right hand and softly mouthing along to the song. She offered words of encouragement, saying, “I could feel everyone’s heartfelt emotions.”
On Sunday, she attended the national high school sign language performance competition, held in the city.
