Gazing at the flame far away, with people miles away

EARTH LIGHT PROJECT MOVEMENT

Earth Light Project aims to create a symbol
of humanity confronting the world’s division.

June 2021, in Japan, we will launch a candle and an igniter
to the stratosphere using a “Space Balloon”.
Imagine a single flame lighting
in front of the Earth and the space.
Now imagine, sharing the moment of the flame lighting up,
with people around the world
who share their hopes to understand one another beyond our differences.
Our prayer is to share this moment with you,
and with the rest of the world.

Watch live: launching and igniting the “Earth Light”

Imagine a moment, where people from all around the world share the same view and feeling.
A moment shared regardless of gender, age, language, ethnicity, race of nationality.
Earth Light Project will broadcast a livestream to reconnect the world in 2021.

Event schedule may change due to weather concerns.
We will be updating information via SNS and email.

Watching the candle light glow in front of the Earth, and sharing the moment with someone on the other side of the planet. The experience would remind us to reunite as one species, as we did in the Olympics and Paralympic Games.
The light up will be done by sending the ignition equipment to outer space on a balloon.
We will be live streaming the launch and ignition through YouTube Live, to share the moment with the supporters and participants around the globe.
