11 groups and 13 people from �Top Coat� Entertainment Production attended the �Kokoro wa Hitotsu� charity handshake event at Ebisu Garden Hall in Tokyo on April 2nd. The fans that brought donations were allowed to have a handshake and a high five with some of the stars. Fans were able to get up close with a lot of the agency�s talents and this caused a long line to be formed around the venue. Sasaki Nozomi called out to the fans stating, �I�m so happy that so many fans came here. Let�s do our best everyone, so that our hearts become one!�.

Originally this event was supposed to be a 15th anniversary event for �Top Coat�, but was later changed to a charity handshake event for relief to the area struck by the Great Tohoku Earthquake. Actress Kimura Yoshino called to the staff, �In times like this, it�s our turn to do something as entertainers. Let�s give courage and strength to the fans that have been supporting us!�.

All proceeds from this event will be donated through the Red Cross of Japan.
