Yokohama/MTV Partner in Eco Fundraising

Once again Yokohama has held its LIVEecoMOTION event in partnership with MTV Japan. The ‘one coin’ live charity event has been held annually since 2007 and the October 1 concert in Tokyo raised 492,500 yen (£3,780) in admission fees. On October 12, Yokohama donated this amount plus a further 37,280 yen in contributions to WWF Japan, which is – sorry wrestling fans – the local chapter of the World Wide Fund for Nature. The proceeds will be utilised for the organisation’s activities aimed at combating global warming.
