Change the Future Together
Capitalize on Connections
There are countless ways to connect
In this new normal world Regardless of whether we wish to or not As we still share our thoughts and feelings
Even if we are not physically together.
There are matters, some quite important,
we have come to see
Because we can not meet.
And while we all want change,
There are times we don’t want to seechange either.
But now that we can see both the good
and the bad,Let's make our intentions clear, for ourfuture selves.
Let’s raise our voices,
Speak up,
And never stop moving forward.
Our future can only start changing when
we are all connected.

繋がる、⾒える、変わる
私たちは様々なつながりの中で⽣きている
ニューノーマルな世界でつながり⽅は多様になった
つながる⾃由つながらない⾃由も⼿に⼊れた
物理的につながらなくても想いを分かち合えるようになった
会えないことで⾒えてきた
⼤切なこと変化を求めても変わらない現実
良いことも悪いことも⾒えてきた今だからこそ⾃分の未来のために意思を⽰そう
声をあげること

あゆみを⽌めないこと
私たちの未来は繋がることで動き出す＜Background Info＞

In the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have come to realize that we canconnect to each other in so many ways. Our relationships have diversified. The ways wechoose to stay together have grown many fold. We can now be, and see ourselves and ourrelationships as they really are. But while we have seen positive change in the way society
perceives us, there has also been a growing number of people who have become lonely andisolated due to a lack of physical contact. Equally, it has become clearer that many problems
still exist because the voices of the voiceless are being drowned out by the louder ones, andmany “rules” remain unchanged even though we had raised our voices against them.
Thus this year’s theme is brought about thanks to these new insights into our newconnections and for this new era and a future where by speaking out and raising awareness,
we can change society, not only for the LGBTQ community, but for all people to live happily
and in safety【TRP original merchandise now available online】

TRP official merchandise, popular at the TRP2022 Pride event, are now on sale at theofficial TRP online store. Please take a look at the numerous rainbow goods available.

Tokyo Rainbow Pride aims to create a society where LGBTQ people and other sexual
minorities can live their lives positively without being subjected to discrimination andprejudice. At TRP, we provide a place to celebrate and connect with LGBTQ people andtheir supporters (“allies”) and to celebrate sexual, gender and biological diversity.
