This year, the Department of Japanese Studies proudly participated in the 59th NCCU Culture Cup Choral Competition, performing the iconic Japanese graduation song, "Letters: Greetings to a 15-Year-Old You" (手紙 〜拝啓 十五の君へ〜). The piece beautifully conveys a message of resilience—that even when feeling lost during one's academic journey, the future remains bright and worth embracing—perfectly echoing the youthful voices of our students. With a lineup larger and more enthusiastic than ever, students dedicated every Wednesday evening to rigorous rehearsals, pouring their hearts into crafting the most moving harmonies. Ultimately, their collective dedication culminated in a breathtaking performance on the Culture Cup stage, bringing this journey of teamwork and shared passion to a brilliant and memorable close.
