Tokyo Tower, a prominent online American Japanese rock and pop music show, has today announced a partnership with Tokyo FM – a leading Japanese broadcaster – for a global concert initiative designed to bring awareness to Earth consciousness and environmental responsibilities. Tokyo Tower's broadcast of this celebration of music and nature, Tokyo FM's 21st Annual Tokyo FM Earth Day Concert, will take place Wednesday, June 16th at 9 PM ET at WAWL.org



The 21st Annual Tokyo FM Earth Day Concert, recorded earlier this year by Tokyo FM, is being broadcast by leading stations around the world.
