“Vmedia”* “Retrois Graces ch.” Produced by Kou Shibasaki with the theme of “living beautifully”.
This channel distributes videos with themes such as “environment,” “clothing, food and housing,” and “moving hearts,” which are indispensable for “living beautifully,” as planned content produced by Kou Shibasaki herself.

Since last year, “Les Trois Graces ch.” Has released a video titled “Sharing Trip” that conveys the blessings of Japan’s nature and the attractive spaces that gather there, centered on national parks. And this time, as part of the “Minna de Sharing Trip Project”, we will deliver the beauty of plum blossoms in full bloom in Mie Prefecture on the melody of Kou Shibasaki’s song “Sweet Mom”.

In 2018, a dedication performance was performed at Ise Jingu, and in May 2020, Ise-Shima National Park was featured as the first video of “Sharing Trip” in Mie Prefecture. This video project was born after visiting this place last year in the coverage of the special feature “The Roots of Japanese Beauty, Ume and the Japanese” in the March 2021 issue of the monthly magazine “Discover Japan”.

Now that various restrictions are imposed by the corona sickness, this video was made with the thought of “May everyone be calm and enrich their daily lives as much as possible.” Please enjoy the beauty of the colorfully blooming plum blossoms that have nurtured the Japanese sensibility, and the beautiful harmony played by Kou Shibasaki’s “Sweet Mom”.

In the future, “Les Trois Graces ch.” Will continue to disseminate the beautiful nature of Japan, including national parks, in various ways both domestically and internationally.

(*)Vmedia: It means a video media that delivers various information beyond the Vlog that delivers daily life.
