The "School Music Revival" project is for equipment inspections and repairs of musical instruments affected by the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake (which hit Fukushima). As one of the founders, Ryuichi Sakamoto has been active, under the slogan such as "Use the Power of Music and Musical Instruments to Bring Smiles to Children's Faces".

In the December performance, live music was sent to the Yamaha Music Tohoku Sendai store and the Koriyama Store using the "Remote Live" technology developed by Yamaha Corp. The keyboard (in the respective stores) moves as Ryuichi Sakamoto is performing at the Ginza Hall, and the music is sent to the other stores.
