4. Strengthening Cooperation
with Local Communities

In aiming for a music festival that was rooted in the local community, acollaborative program with Chiyoda Ward was carried out and area
concerts were performed this year.

❶ LFJ 2015 Pre-concerts❺ Rehearsal Opened to Public

Also serving as public relations ahead of the LFJ
festival, concerts were held at the venue for the
Chiyoda Ward Cherry Blossom Festival and at the
Chiyoda Ward Oﬃce.(March 28, April 14)

Approximately 580 elementary school pupils and juniorhigh school student s from Tokyo s Chiyoda and Chuowards attended a rehearsal of Sinfonia Varsovia (conductedby Robert Trevino). (Hall A, May 2)❷ Classical Music Lectures

A music lesson open to the public, the masterclass provided
young performers with direct music guidance from artists who
were appearing in admission-based performances. This
popular program allowed a glimpse into the passion the artists
have for works of music and into their personalities.

3. Everybody Joined in toTokyo International Forum began holding La Folle Journée, theepoch-making music festival that started in France, as La Folle
Journée au Japon (LFJ) Days of Enthusiasm music festivals inJapan in 2005. Recording around 320,000 visitors in the ﬁrst
year, the event has since grown into the largest classical music
festival in Japan and has become an established seasonal
tradition of Golden Week in Tokyo.
The 11th LFJ in 2015 marked an evolution toward a more
exciting music festival by making major changes to the theme
settings and a diversiﬁed program. The newly opened theme in2015 was PASSION: Music for Love, Prayer, and Life.
Passion can be deﬁned as strong emotions that ﬂow from thedepths of the soul. Throughout music s long history, from theTopicstime of the Renaissance up to the present day, composers havewondered how they could set to music the things we areunable to express in words, including the life, soul, and feelingsof human existence. A universal sensibility that pervades
human culture, what we call passion has fueled that extensive
music world and developed from the following three angles.
P a s s i o n f o r P r a y e r : Pieces that express prayers with music, in the same
way as the Passions have from the Baroque period to the present day
P a s s i o n f o r L o v e : Pieces of music about love, from the Renaissanceleading to the Romantics and the 20th century
P a s s i o n f o r L i f e : Pieces of music born from the delight of the soul,enlivened passions, overﬂowing sentiment

Theme : PASSION: Music for Love, Prayer, and Life

1. Redesigning the Theme Settings of
the Reincarnated La Folle JournéePreviously, LFJ had been held in themes in line with the context of classical music, suchas by composer, period or region, but from 2015 it was decided to redesign the themes
to be universal concepts and keywords that pervade human culture. Doing so enabled
the showcasing of a variety of works that transcend speciﬁc composers or periods and,more than ever before, made possible discoveries and a musical adventure that was fullof surprises. The initial such theme, that for 2015 was PASSIONS.

2. Catering for the Young Generation
LFJ implemented a range of initiatives geared toward
the young generation who will support the music scenes of the future.

Steel-Framed Roof Renovation WorkWe are repainting parts of the Glass Building s steel-framed roof andcarrying out repair and improvement work to return the roof to its

condition at the time Tokyo International Forum was completed. To

carry out the work safely, a protective sheet covering the entire area

has been aﬃxed to the lower part of the roof s steel frame. Although

this means that the beautiful ceiling beams are not visible from inside
the Glass Building, upon planned completion in September 2016, theroof will have been repaired and improved to again appear in theeye-catching form of the time when it was ﬁrst completed.

Central City MICE* Activities
As one of the foremost convention and art centers in Japan, Tokyo International Forumplays a pivotal role in Japan and Tokyo by attracting and holding MICE.
Located in Tokyo s highly attractive Marunouchi district,Japan s business center and, in recent years, culturaland tourism area, Tokyo International Forum is adjacentto the commercial districts of Ginza and Yurakucho. The
location also oﬀers highly convenient transportation
access, as Japan s rail travel hub terminal, Tokyo
Station, is only a short distance away on the north side,and there is a direct link to Japan Railways (JR) andTokyo Metro Yurakucho Station to the south. Also
within walking distance are the outer garden of theImperial Palace, the world-renowned Ginza shopping
area and the Hibiya theater district. Quite simply, someof the best of what Tokyo has to oﬀer has beencondensed into this one area. There is a host ofaccommodation in the vicinity of Tokyo International

Forum, ranging from international luxury hotels toreasonably priced business hotels.
While collaborating with the Tokyo Metropolitan
Government and the local area, Tokyo International
Forum Co., Ltd. Is involved in attracting and serving as avenue for MICE business events at an international
scale, as the center of Central City MICE that provides ahigh-value-added MICE environment throughout thearea. This is achieved by linking Tokyo International
Forum s advanced functions as a convention facility
with the area s overall functions, which have integrated
wide-ranging facilities and functions, such as thoseaccommodation and commercial facilities, tourism andbusiness.

＊MICE is an acronym for Meeting, Incentive travel, Convention, and Exhibition, a generic term for business and other events that involve the gathering of many
people and the undertaking of business activities.

The following large-scale international conference was held in Fiscal 2015.

Introduction of Segways to Oﬀer Roving Guidance
Inside Buildings (May 2015)
In addition to the guidance services available from two information
points inside the Tokyo International Forum buildings, building
concierges tour around inside the buildings to provide visitors withinformation. We introduced Segways for this roving information
service. Compared with walking, the move is being seen to have theeﬀect of increasing visitor communication activities, as concierges on
their rounds by Segway are easier to ﬁnd and make it easier for
visitors to call out to or greet them.
Note: A Segway is an electric power-assisted form of two-wheeled transport. Lacking an accelerator orbrakes, movement is controlled by moving the center of gravity. Enables the eﬀective movement of asmall turning circle.

Installation of Bidirectional Digital Signage (June 2015)
We installed digital signage (bidirectional information retrieval
terminals) at seven locations inside our buildings, including on the
Yurakucho Station side on the ﬁrst ﬂoor of the Glass Building, on theunderground concourse on the Yurakucho Metro station side, and on
the JR Tokyo Station side. Of the infrared touch panel-type, thiseasy-to-see, 50-inch display digital signage is also easy for visitors to operate and enables
them to search for information. The system oﬀers a variety of content, not only information on
the facilities inside a building, but also route guidance inside a building, a barrier-free access
map, and information on the surrounding area. Assuming that the system would be used by
non-Japanese visitors, we have made it possible to select a language. In addition to
Japanese, the system can support four other languages: English, Korean, and Chinese(simpliﬁed and traditional characters).

Marunouchi Partnership General Security Training (June 2015)
The Marunouchi Partnership in which Tokyo International Forum is aparticipant conducts general security training jointly with theMetropolitan Police Department s Marunouchi police station. The
around 200 people who took part were from civilian corporations
and organizations that participate in the Marunouchi Partnership,
Marunouchi police station, and the Metropolitan Police Department s riot squad. On theTokyo International Forum Plaza, which served as the training venue, the training
conducted included a lecture related to explosives, the joint disposal of explosive
materials by the Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo International Forumsecurity unit, a demonstration of police dog training, and earthquake rescue and disaster
relief training. Utilizing dogs trained to detect explosives, anti-explosive materials as wellas training in the rescue of people from high places, true-to-life training was conducted.

Citation of Appreciationfrom Marunouchi Fire Department (September 2015)
In addition to routinely working to prevent accidents and disasters from occurring, in thecourse of a year Tokyo International Forum conducts all types of training geared toward
its employees. As a result of these eﬀorts, Tokyo International Forum was recognized forhaving contributed to the promotion of emergency services̶such as by actively
promoting in a planned manner the taking of courses on lifesaving to work to improvecooperation in the administration of emergencies and ﬁrst-aid techniques̶ andpresented with a citation of appreciation from the Tokyo Fire and Disaster Management
Agency s Marunouchi Fire Department.

Renewal of Fire Safety Building Certiﬁcation (December 2015)
Tokyo International Forum has received certiﬁcation as an Fire
Safety Building since 2006, when the Fire Safety Building
Certiﬁcation System was introduced under the Tokyo Fire
Protection Ordinance.
A Fire Safety Building is deﬁned as one that has had the ﬁredepartment perform examinations and inspections of active
eﬀorts relating to improvements in ﬁre protection safety measures made by the relevant
person at the ﬁre protection property, and is a building certiﬁed as an Excellent Fire
Protection Property with high ﬁre protection safety.
The certiﬁcation period is stipulated as three years and since three years had elapsed sinceTokyo International Forum received its previous certiﬁcation, the application forrecertiﬁcation was made by Tokyo International Forum Co., Ltd. Having been examined andinspected by the ﬁre department, Tokyo International Forum was certiﬁed as having highsafety protection and its certiﬁcation as an Excellent Fire Protection Property renewed.

Tokyo Metropolitan Government / Chiyoda
Ward Stranded Persons
Response Joint Training (February 8, 2016)
The scenario for this training assumed thousands of persons had
been left stranded around railway stations in Chiyoda Ward in theaftermath of an earthquake that had struck directly beneath theTokyo metropolitan area. The training was conducted with threeaims in mind: to facilitate cooperation between the managers at
stations, commercial facilities, and public facilities; to prevent
unnecessary confusion; and to maintain safety.
As a designated Tokyo Metropolitan Government-run temporary
stay facility under such circumstances, Tokyo International Forum
carried out training in opening as a temporary stay facility,
receiving stranded persons and distributing stockpiled supplies tothem. Around 100 stranded persons took part in the training,which was conducted in a realistic manner. This training was
conducted in conjunction with special public telephone
