Hanshin Storm Enka Concert (1)

  On Nov.14, the Tokyo Art Foundation (TAF) held a charity enka concert, starring its chairman Dr.Haruhisa Handa and enka singer Akira Kobayashi at the Shibuya Public Hall, Tokyo.
  Enka is a Japanese music genre mixing traditional and modern tastes. 
  All proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Lesotho-based charity Sentebale, which promotes efforts to eradicate AIDS.
  At the beginning of the concert, Dr.Handa greeted the audience, saying, "I'll emcee tonight to save on labor costs..."

  Dr.Handa sang 14 enka songs, while changing his costume five times.
