With PMF 2015 approaching, we are truly grateful to have been given the opportunity to act as a Main Sponsor. It is an honor to be able to make even a small contribution to the enrichment of society, the promotion of arts and culture, and community development, through the training of the world's young musicians.

Ain Pharmaciez Inc. operates over-the-counter pharmacies with safe and high-quality products as well as health & beauty shops, offering information and proposals on healthy lifestyles to customers all across Japan. We would like to take this opportunity to contribute in some small way to PMF, which has produced such large numbers of excellent musicians to this point, and we sincerely hope that it will continue strongly into the future.

Now entering its 27th year, the Æon 1% Club has, as of April 1, begun its new path as a public interest incorporated foundation. We will continue to actively promote community-building activities with the motto of "supporting the sound development of the youth who will carry on the next generation, working together with our customers and local communities."

LEOC Co., Ltd. has always provided food services with the management philosophy of "bringing joy and happiness to customers, growth and welfare to employees, and contribution to society." In line with this, it is with tremendous pleasure that our company is able to participate as a sponsor of such a source of musical inspiration as PMF.

We are extremely grateful upon the formation of our newfound relationship with PMF. The Hokkaido Kirin Beverage Company aspires to be an essential local industry to the citizens of Hokkaido. This year marks the 30th year of sales of our "Afternoon Tea," currently being marketed for its remarkable ability to compliment Japanese dishes. Along with PMF's contribution to the city of Sapporo through music, we hope to contribute to bringing smiles to people's faces.

We would like to offer our heartfelt congratulations to PMF for its 2015 implementation. Since its formation in 1990, PMF has contributed to bringing a great many musicians into the world. As part of our company's city-planning initiative, we hope to contribute to bringing the captivating power of music to a broad audience, and to the development of PMF.

Yamaha shares PMF's vision of "contributing to world peace through music and fostering the next generation of musicians all over the world," and we are honored to be able to work alongside them. We will continue to contribute to the development of PMF, which Sapporo - city of culture and art - should present to the world with pride.
