A Look at Their Activities
Overview
Philosophy/guiding principles
‘topos’ means “place” in Greek. It aims to be a place for more LGBTQ+ people and people who think they might be LGBTQ+. It is a safe and secure place where people do not have to reveal anything about themselves within the organisation and where the protection of their privacy is important.
History.
Established in 2011. Before the Corona Disaster, its main activities were lunch meetings at the Komaba and Hongo campuses. In order to be a place for more university and postgraduate students, it became an intercollegiate club in 2019.
Composition of Membership
Structure of Organization
How many members leave the activity in a year?
Around 60%.How much does the amount of commitment vary between members?
Some members only attend one of the events, either online or in person.About 20 out of 70 members regularly attend social events.
The difference in participation rates is not a particular problem, as we believe that freedom of participation is a desirable feature of a place to be.

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.
