A Day of "Play" and "Experience" Created by Children at the After-School Day Service "Toiro"

Efila Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kohoku Ward, Kanagawa Prefecture, Representative Director: Daishiro Hatakeyama) is pleased to announce that on January 9, 2027 (Sat), the "Toiro Fes 2027," a one-day-only festival created by children attending the child development support and after-school day service "Toiro," their families, and community members, will be held at Yokohama Arena.

Background and Purpose of "Toiro Fes 2027" Toiro has always valued children's "play and experiences." Stepping out of the classroom and into the outside world.

We believe that the accumulation of "fun" encountered through new experiences naturally supports children's growth, and we have supported each child's desire to "do what they want." Under this philosophy, we have expanded our facilities, and Toiro now has 77 locations within Kanagawa Prefecture. We provide transportation services to all elementary and junior high schools in the prefecture, ensuring that children can attend regardless of where they live in Kanagawa. Toiro Fes 2027 is a day to embody this "play and experience" on an unprecedented scale. Children and families from all over the prefecture will gather together at Yokohama Arena.

Main Programs (Tentative) An experience where children are the stars will be prepared, using the entire Yokohama Arena as a stage.

Singing Together, One Take: Participants will join their voices to complete a single song in just one recording session. It's a song for that day only, with no retakes.

Challenging a Great Record: Everyone at the venue will unite with one heart to challenge a single goal. If achieved, we aim to set a record recognized by the world.

8 Experience Programs: A variety of content, including music, art, and sports, will be prepared for everyone to enjoy in their own way.

Our Hopes for Toiro Fes The name "Toiro" comes from "Jyu-nin to-iro" (ten people, ten colors), meaning everyone is different. We want to cherish each unique color as it is.

With that thought, we have expanded our classrooms throughout Kanagawa.

Usually, the children spend their time in their respective classrooms. However, there are so many companions walking the same path throughout Kanagawa. The colors of each individual will come together in one place for the first time. This is a special experience unique to that day, something that can never be felt in the classroom.

Regardless of age, characteristics, or background, the different colors of each individual gathered from all over Kanagawa will come together in one place, just as they are. We want to deliver that scene to the children and their families. And we hope to nurture this day, not as a one-time event, but as an annual "norm" for this city. Play, anxiety, and seriousness – all with full commitment.

We would be delighted if you could watch over this day, which is so characteristic of Toiro.

More detailed thoughts are written on the special website.
