At the night on October 11th, we had an opportunity to make candles in Kobe.
Those candles will be brought to New York in February for Ryo's second memorial service.
Oyamadas have been thinking that they want to visit NY with everyone's heart who cares for them, so they arranged this event. Many of Ryo's friends took part, cooperating with this candle party at the cafe of Ryo's friend.
Over 30 friends gathered there. They made their own candles, talking about the good old days they spent with Ryo.
The candles, which stuffed many pieces of wax into used milk packs, were so colorful and unique.
These handmade candles have their own warmth and character.
Ryo's friends said, "I feel like I could finally be a help for Ryo","I want to treasure cherish the friendship Ryo has connected".
"Light of Way" was named with honor to "Right of Way", an organization who drew flowers and big wings with stencils at Ryo's accident site in August. This name contains various meanings such as ”the light that keeps our way safe", "the hope lights up our life," The light of candles, which made with our heart, will shine not only the Ryo's accident site in NY, but also the futures of Oyamadas and Ryo's friends who will be missing Ryo whole their life.
Oyamadas will light these candles at Ryo's accident site on the day of Ryo's memorial.
"NO MORE TRAGEDY", we are hoping this strong hope will touch many people's hearts, as candles light up the road of Queens on that day.
