HIMARI Patronage Club

To Everyone Who Supports HIMARI

Thank you, always, for your warm and generous support.

HIMARI is now fortunate to collaborate with extraordinary orchestras and musicians around the world, and she is ascending, one step at a time. Yet at just fifteen, she is still in a crucial season — a time to learn, to absorb, and to grow.

As her professional career continues to expand, we wish deeply to protect something precious: the time she has to immerse herself purely in music. Rather than being consumed by the demands of each immediate engagement, we want to give her the space, right now, to build the foundations she will draw on for a lifetime of artistry.

At the same time, the reality of sustaining a life abroad and continuing the journey of study across the world requires tangible support. To study in the finest environments, and to step onto every stage at her very best — these seemingly ordinary steps require extraordinary backing.

In Europe and America, there is a long tradition of "patronage" — the idea that society comes together to nurture young talent as it pursues artistic excellence. We wondered whether we might offer something similar in Japan: not a conventional fan club filled with frequent benefits and content, but a quieter form of support — a way for those who care about HIMARI to walk alongside her, sharing in the time of her growth.

This may not be a place of glamorous events or regular deliverables. And because HIMARI is in a period of such rapid change and development, we cannot promise that this structure will remain unchanged forever. For now, we would like this first year to be a thoughtful, careful experiment — discovering together what form of support feels truly meaningful, both for you and for her music.

If this vision resonates with you, and if you would be willing to become a Patron of HIMARI, there is nothing that would encourage us more. We ask for your continued warmth and care as we watch her grow together.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.
How is this different from a regular fan club?

A.
There will be no regular newsletters or scheduled exclusive content. This club is primarily intended as a form of support to protect HIMARI's musical future. We hope you will join with that understanding in mind.
Q.
Is a concert ticket guaranteed?

A.
500 tickets are available per venue, and in the event of high demand, a ballot will be held — so it is possible that some applications will be unsuccessful. General ticket sales are scheduled to begin on 12 July or later, and we will notify all applicants of the outcome before that date.
Q.
Are concert tickets, CDs, and vinyl included in the annual fee?

A.
No, these are not included in the annual fee and will be charged separately.
Q.
Will I receive a membership card or membership number?

A.
There are no membership cards or membership numbers. Identity verification, when required, will be carried out using the name, email address, and phone number provided at the time of registration.
Q.
Can I join from outside Japan?

A.
Yes, membership is open to those living outside Japan. However, please be aware that all club communications, activity reports, and benefits are provided in Japanese only. We recommend using a translation tool where needed. Shipping of physical benefits (such as CDs) may also incur additional costs for overseas addresses.

For payment, PayPal is available as an alternative to bank transfer. Please note that the payment amount via PayPal is ¥10,400 (¥10,000 annual fee + ¥400 to cover PayPal transaction fees). This is consistent with the bank transfer fee that domestic members are asked to bear. Please indicate your preferred payment method in your application form.
