Youth is the best time to discover yourself and new hobbies. And there's no more perfect time to start something new than spring. That's why Yamaha Music and Bocchi the Rock! Syndicated films are supporting high school students who are just starting a band or are just starting to have an interest in music and playing instruments with the program “GET STARTED!” BAND LIFE: Band o Hajime yō”.

The collaboration aims to distribute posters (pictured above) to approximately 2,000 high schools across Japan to help music clubs recruit new members. Students can write their recruitment announcement and details in the blank space on the poster, as shown in the sample image below:

The program is currently accepting poster copy requests from high school music clubs through April 30, and posters will be sent out after mid-May. Posters are also available for download.
For beginners, selected Yamaha Instrument dealers in Japan will distribute a limited 12-page catalog with a message of support from Bocchi the Rock! manga author Aki Hamaji. This category also includes various tips and products for beginners as well as a presentation of introductory instruments handled by Yamaha.
