Ohka Gakuen High School Choir
桜花学園高等学校合唱団
Japan
Ohka Gakuen High School Choir boasts a history of over 60 years. We have a distinguished record in the All Japan Chorus Competition, with 16 appearances in the National Finals, including seven Gold Prizes. Our members consider their peers to be like family, and the opportunity to strive together and immerse ourselves in our beloved chorus is an invaluable experience that creates unforgettable memories. Through our dual focus on concert performances and competition participation, we aim to deliver the "Ohka Sound"—defined by the spirit of Ichion-Nyukon (putting one's soul into every single note)—to our audiences as choral music that stirs the soul and provides deep emotional experiences. Furthermore, we have participated in the Vocal Ensemble Contest National Finals, securing the Silver Prize three times, and we have appeared five times in the NHK National School Music Competition National Finals.
