I visited the Omocha no Hako Flat Kids Concert at Yokohama-shi Seishonen Koryu Center (Youth Exchange Center of the city of Yokohama) near Nogeyama Zoo.
It was the last concert in 2014 season and there were many families with young children. Omocha no Hako members played various music and songs from classic music to Japanese songs. Chidren also played music together with little musical instruments.
Children were rather calm when there was a music! I heard some sang together. I think they liked the music.
