Re:Bit Holds the LGBT Coming-of-Age Ceremony in Japan.
http://greenzglobal.jp/lgbt-387.html
Are you familiar with the word “LGBT”?
This stands for Lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-sexual. In our current society, people are divided as male or female and being heterosexual is the “norm”.
In January 2013, a unique coming-of-age ceremony was held in the Setagaya Civil Hall. It was unique as age and sexuality were not asked but instead, the theme for the ceremony was “To be yourself”.

Happy new year!! I am Kota Suzuki, a chief editor of greenz global. This online publication, greenz global which has opened in June last year, aims to spread wonderful social projects and good ideas in Japan. Another critical vision of us is to make a huge community of social entrepreneurs in East Asia.

A composition for NPO greenz
http://2kaiproductions.bandcamp.com/track/midori-for-greenz
<a href="http://2kaiproductions.bandcamp.com/track/midori-for-greenz" data-mce-href="http://2kaiproductions.bandcamp.com/track/midori-for-greenz">Midori (for greenz) by Kota Suzuki</a>
My previous occupation was at music industry… I'm not kidding. I used to compose several tracks for my clients, and sometimes DJ-ing and compiling music were the best way to get some pocket money.
Since I have left the uncertain, bustling industry, I've been away from producing music, though I still have a MacBook Pro installed bunch of music softwares, and there're several synths and DJ gears in my room.
When I were playing around in my music room the other day, an composition idea flashed on me that I may be able to compose for greenz... though they have never asked me of it. I imagined how acoustic instruments and some sounds from toys could fit together with electronic sound. I played the piano, synths, some cheesy toys, programmed beats etc… Also, mixing, mastering have done by me. The track is available for free from the link above.
Music should be more connected to social design. Though I admit there're several musicians devoted to charity projects, only a few musicians have related to community issues, sustainable lifestyles, and designing our everyday life. I hope core members of greenz and our readers enjoy this song.
******************************
I just had a meeting with YOSH san this morning, and I am thinking that #GGFriday should be a place to introduce what's now being introduced at GOOD, URBAN TIMES etc… I am always open to hear your thoughts on greenz global articles, and #GGFriday essays. Please feel free to contact us. -> http://greenzglobal.jp/contact
All the best in the new year!
“RARA Plus” makes a miçanga never be snapped.

Do you know what miçanga is? It’s like a bracelet knitted of a bundle of thread. People say our wishes would come true when it is broken. This miçanga in a picture above, however, would never be snapped.

Community Supported Publication
Have you heard of 'community supported agriculture?' According to NAL / USDA, "Community Supported Agriculture consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes, either legally or spiritually, the community's farm, with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production."(http://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/pubs/csa/csa.shtml)
We, NPO greenz considers our online publications should be community supported. A membership project "GREENZ PEOPLE" was established to push this policy. "greenz people" offers green books and monthly mail-magazine for the members. Me and Andy were featured on the mail-magazine this month, and we discussed greenz global. On the other hand, as I wrote on the previous #GGFriday, I've been working as an assistant editor for green books project.
The other day, during an interview, YOSH said their media should be not just community 'supported' but people in the community should be join us. In other words, an ultimate goal is to provide a place. People can use greenz, just like co-op framework. If you wish to write an article featuring your favourite project, you can 'use' greenz and make it visible to so many people. I bet some of you might be thinking of GOOD and Urban Times. One slightly different thing is that the administrative cost will be prepared from "greenz people" revenues.
Greenz Global is, still, nothing more than a spin-off publication of greenz.jp. Our goal is not just creating an influential sustainable media. We aim to make our movement global. I personally wish we will be establishing 'greenz people English.'

Me as an assistant editor for greenbooks 2
Some might know that greenz global is a spin off publication from greenz.jp - NPO greenz. I have been working as an assistant editor for, what we call 'green books2' - a Japanese booklet which will be published from NPO greenz.
