Change language:
The kind gesture was recorded, so now you can see and listen to how the Japanese kids sing in Hungarian.
The Tokyo Olympics came to an end on Sunday, but it will undoubtedly be a talking topic in several television shows for a while. Although the centre of attention is obviously sports, we do not always talk only about the athletes when it comes to the Games.
The most memorable moments of Hungary in the Tokyo2020 Olympics
The Hungarian Cultural Institute of Tokyo and a children’s choir adorably surprised the Hungarian Olympic Team. Their action was recorded on camera and uploaded on YouTube to blow our minds.
A big group of Japanese kids dressed in Hungarian colours with flowers, flags, and small signs in their hands sung to them in Hungarian.
Choir Director Sachiko Mager had spent one year in Hungary, during which she learnt the mysteries of the Kodály Method, an approach of music education, writes szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu.
When she returned to Japan, she founded the Fény Children’s Choir. (“Children of Light”).
Fény was started in 1998 with children from the age of 3 through 18. “Currently, we have about 90 members. We sing a mix of songs, mostly in Japanese, English, and Hungarian”, she writes on the website of European Capital Culture.
