LIMELIGHT makes donation to support earthquake recovery efforts in Japan

AKP STAFF

On February 5th, it was reported by News1 that the group LimeLight has donated 1 million yen (approximately 7,300 US dollars) through the Japanese Red Cross to support the recovery efforts following an earthquake in the Noto Peninsula, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. 

LimeLight, particularly popular in Japan with member Ito Miyu at the forefront, had previously expressed intentions to donate a portion of their album sales revenue to charity. This commitment materialized with a donation of 1 million yen from their sales proceeds.

The group stated, "All artists under 143 Entertainment, including us, have received immense happiness and smiles from our activities in Japan. We hope to give back and provide some assistance to those affected by the disaster, wishing for their swift return to daily life."

The donation comes in the wake of a magnitude 7.6 earthquake that struck the Noto Peninsula on the 1st of last month, resulting in 238 deaths and 14,643 displaced individuals.

LimeLight, debuted as a trio in September 2022, is currently seeing a high possibility of welcoming members Kang Yeseo and Mashiro, who are active in the project group Kep1er, following the end of their contracts.

And they're not even a rich group, that was super generous. Many people are still living in shelters after that earthquake so the donation will mean a lot.
