Global Citizen’s Mission

“Japan is a leader in promoting global health and providing for the needs of marginalized communities around the world,” said Simon Moss, Co-Founder of Global Citizen. “Now, we are thrilled to invite people across Japan to join Global Citizen, and be part of our mission to end extreme poverty. Together we can create a better future for children everywhere, and Global Citizen Live: Tokyo will be a moment to become part of something much bigger than just a show – it’s a movement.”

“We’re excited to participate in Global Citizen’s first show in Tokyo in support of children’s education and health. Music has the power to connect diverse worlds, which has always been at the core of &TEAM’s identity, so it’s an honor to perform for such an important cause,” said &TEAMmembers EJ, FUMA, K, NICHOLAS, YUMA, JO, HARUA, TAKI and MAKI.

“I am thrilled to participate in this event that introduces the mission of Global Citizen to the people of Japan,” said Ai. “I hope we can all use this as an opportunity to think more deeply about our global impact. Now more than ever, we’ve got to show each other compassion and support, so let’s take action together and make a difference.”
