The mega-performance of 'Daiku' by amateur singers in Osaka

In Osaka, Japan 10,000 amateur singers gather together again this year for a brilliant spectacle: The performance of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, dubbed "Daiku" in Japan. Yet, it’s not about artistic perfection for the Star artistic director and conductor, Yutaka Sado. "All men shall be brothers" - in light of the triple disaster that recently struck Japan, Schiller's "Ode" gains particular significance.
We accompany Sado and three lay-singers in the preparations for the concert. What motivates them to take part? What does Beethoven's music mean to you? And what role, if any, does European classical music play in a society that elegantly combines its own traditions with western culture?
