We previously reported that Up-Front Agency created a charity group with its 131 talents and artists, and together, they created the 'Ganbare Nippon Ai wa Katsu' project. Through the sales of the song "Ai wa Katsu" (an old hit from 1990 by KAN), as well as through concerts and other events, the charity project managed to garner� a total of 28,667,129 yen, to be donated to the Japanese Red Cross.

On July 5th, Horiuchi Takao, Aida Shoko, and Nakazawa Yuko acted as representatives of Up-Front Agency and Hello! Project to personally hand over the funds to a representative from the Japanese Red Cross.

On Hello! Project's Official website, they expressed their gratitude for all the support they've been getting for the 'Ganbare Nippon Ai wa Katsu' project, and� wrote that they will continue to support and help in relief efforts.
