Coro Letizia (コーロ・レティツィア)
Coro Letizia is the official women’s choir of the University of Tokyo, composed solely of female students, and was established in 2009. As the university’s representative choir, we perform the university’s songs at official ceremonies such as the entrance and graduation ceremonies. We are the only group that gets the opportunity to sing at prestigious venues like the Budokan and Yasuda Auditorium every year. Being a choir made up entirely of female students from the University of Tokyo, we offer a unique space to form close friendships while pursuing the delicate and soft harmonies that only a women’s choir can create. Although our main focus is women’s choir music, we also perform mixed choir pieces with the University of Tokyo men’s choir, Chor Akademie, at our regular concerts and campus festivals, allowing us to enjoy richer harmonies and expand our repertoire. Additionally, we will be participating in a joint concert with Seoul National University in Korea this coming March. Beginners are more than welcome, and many of our members start with no prior experience in choir. With the guidance of a professional voice trainer, everyone is able to improve steadily and enjoy singing.

Shamisen Club 三味線くらぶ(長唄研究会)
We play a kind of Japanese music called "Edo nagauta" with shamisen, a traditional Japanese musical instrument, and singing. Most members were begginer when they started it. The teachers offer free practice, so very little money is necessary as activity costs. We also have a club room in the Komaba Campus, where students can practice on their own. We are active jointly with the International Christian University (ICU) Nagauta Kenkyukai, and we hold a joint concert every December in which all first-year students also perform.

UT cheerleading band (東京大学運動会応援部吹奏楽団)
We are UT cheerleading band! We do three activities: cheering, performing, and marching . In cheering, we inspire sports teams with medleys and fight songs. In performances, we play wind ensemble pieces and pop music. In marching, we perform staged drills, a form of marching. In addition to supporting various sports teams, such as in the Tokyo Big6 Baseball League, we hold numerous events, including our annual band-led concert and the Festival, where we collaborate with the Leaders and Cheerleaders. We actively interact not only within our three sections but also with cheerleading squads and wind ensembles clubs from other universities. If you love music, want to try drill performances, or enjoy watching sports, come and see us! We look forward to seeing you at our welcome stage and trial practices!
