Recent IU Jacobs School of Music graduate Johann Schram Reed, performing in Japan for the first time after receiving critical acclaim for his appearances in various operas along the West Coast of the U.S., served as one of two featured solo vocalists for the concert. Backed by the Tokyo College of Music’s large symphony orchestra and chorus – as well as a massive pipe organ that, amazingly at one point, rotated appearances (starting off Baroque, then shifting to a more modern, industrial-looking side) – both IU alums delivered emotionally powerful performances. For their impressive efforts, they received a lengthy standing ovation from a packed audience that included, among other guest dignitaries seated with McRobbie, the ambassadors to Japan from Austria, Germany and the Holy See, as well as Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado of Japan.

Nearly 200 people attended the event organized by the Japan AED Foundation where Princess Hisako is honorary president since April. The forum included a lecture on the need to learn CPR from childhood and efforts to prevent sudden death during sports. According to the foundation, Prince Takamado's collapse and death in 2002 caused an increase in AED (automated external defibrillator) awareness.

Another Asahi report:
Prince Takamado wrote the lyrics to "Your Eyes" in high school and later gave them to his friend Mariko Aoki. At Princess Hisako's suggestion, the composer was written as "Holly", Prince Takamado's seal. Ms. Aoki has performed the song during her concerts. AED usage was limited to doctors and emergency personnel before his death. Afterwards, usage opened to the public in July 2004.
Princess Hisako attended the 69th All Japan Junior High School English Speech Competition and reception last week.
