The charity show for the earthquake victims in central Japan's Ishikawa Prefecture, which is being livestreamed rather than live, is also offering T-shirts to increase the amount raised... they sold out in 2 hours, even though like the stream they were only available in Japan (I hope that may change, I'd buy one!) but the organisers are looking to make more available.
The silhouettes are Yuzuru Hanyu, Takahito Mura, Akiko Suzuki and Satoko Miyahara

The charity event in Noto is a success. The news report said more than 10,000 streaming tickets were sold before the show begin and the 5,000 t-shirts has also sold out.
There are two parts of the event:
First part is children skating class with Yuzu and Satton.
Second part is the ice show part.
The run down for the ice show is as follows:
Group program to taiko music: Yuzu, Mura, Akiko, Satton (choreographed by Akiko)
Taiko performance
Calligraphy performance
Skaters individual program
Jfanyus have shared some TV news for this event and there are bits of the programs in it:
Yuzu said he choose to keep the cost for the show as small as possible so there will be more funds to donate. He is doing the charity event free of charge (he confirmed it in his membership video), and choose to not using show lighting or invite guests for the purpose.
Some other TV coverage by NTV News Every
Docomo (one of the sponsors) have video & 2-day event report covering the Noto charity performance, Yuzu & Satton’s skating lesson, behind-the-scenes livestream tour, and discussion with Yuzu & Satoko will be released soon.
There will also a panel exhibition at “Rurubu Kitchen” in Shinjuku, Tokyo (20-30 Sept), which is currently holding the Ishikawa Noto Support Fair. Photo panels from the charity event will be displayed in the restaurant.

I have accumulated some questions about Kaori Sakamoto and I guess this is the right thread where to place them 
What is Kaori's general attitude towards ice shows? Has she talked about it in her interviews in Japan? Also, has she talked about the artistic aspects of her Bob Foss FS?
My opinion about Kaori in ice shows has significantly changed thanks to her Bob Foss FS. Before that, I saw her as an appealing performer who can skate an excellent exhibition and take a part in a Champions' tour or in a similar variety show - but not as an artist who could be cast for a role in an ice musical or in a contemporary circus on ice production. So, one thing is that Kaori is not simply "Kaori the performer" in this program; she is impersonating a character and playing a role. I know that there are fans who have a problem with that but for me, she does it excellently. That's why I'd love to know what she thinks about it. Does she view it as a singular challenge or as an opportunity that she'd like to explore?
The other thing is choreography. Her Bob Foss program has more choreography in it than any other program I have seen this season; actually, more than I have seen in any program in a long time. Every breath, every step, every turn, every jump is tied to the beat. That's how ballet pieces are being choreographed, not modern-day skating programs where the main point is to let skaters get some rest during the obstacle course. I guess Kaori's fans were not excited when she aborted her spin to keep up with music during her performance in the Grand Prix final. It cost her some points. But from me, she got standing ovation for doing so because, to do that, one needs to think as a dancer for whom the performance matters - not as an athlete for whom the score matters. If this is how she feels, she should be cast for a leading role in a dance show hands down.
The truth is though that I don't know how she feels about it. There are also technical aspects, not just artistic; keeping up with the beat can be seen simply as a challenge for an athlete. So it would be interesting to hear from her what she thinks about her new program experience and if she relates it to ice shows anyhow
