Amidst the deepening conflict and division in the world, a chain of peace is now starting from a single film.

The chain begins with watching the film "JUN AI".

The latest version of "JUN AI" on YouTube, "Earthrise Edition," has reached 6 million recommended views and 770,000 views, mainly in Japanese-speaking countries, in the first year of its release.

This film has also been subtitled in seven languages (English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese) by supporters who endorsed the film.

Including automatic translation by YouTube, the subtitles have been extended to more than 40 languages and more than 20 countries and regions. In addition, Japanese subtitles are available for Japanese audio as auditory support.

The film "JUN AI" was released on YouTube on March 11, 2011 for a limited time and has been continuously distributed on YouTube since Earth Day (April 22, 2011), thanks to the cooperation and support of its supporters (gift of gratitude).

The film is a social art film that is distinct from commercial films, and is planned and produced by "JUN AI Movie & Movement," a non-profit organization under the overall planning direction of the Jun Ai International Peace Foundation.

We are pleased to present a message from our founder for this year's Earth Day (April 22).

Every Country, Every Language

Within a year after its YouTube release, subtitles in English, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese were released by bilingual supporters who were moved by the film and supported the artistic movement. The movie "JUN AI" is already available in more than 40 languages and more than 20 countries and regions, including YouTube automatic translation.

In the future, we will expand to languages that connect conflicting countries and regions, such as Ukrainian and Russian, Hebrew and Arabic, as well as Italian, German, and other languages of countries that play a role in film culture.

In addition to these languages, we will also invite supporters who are moved and empathize with the film after viewing it in full in the language of their choice. We will also invite supporters to participate in Chinese (traditional and Taiwanese).

For those of you who live in Japan and Japanese-speaking countries, we hope that you will send the film "JUN AI" as a gift to your acquaintances, friends, and family in the language countries with which you have connections. We also welcome introductions to embassies and international exchange organizations.

We see this expansion not as a mere subtitling, but as a new phase of connecting with people around the world who have not yet seen the film. Our ultimate vision, which we have long held in our hearts, is to connect people who resonate with a single film to all regions and languages of the world.

In order to expand the circle of appreciation and support for the film "JUN AI," we are pleased to share with you the following message from our founder for this year's Earth Day.

Message from the Founder

To all film and peace lovers

Keiko Kobayashi, Founder

Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa.

All of them were small in the beginning. What they all have in common is that they found something they wanted to accomplish with their lives and started it.

The JUN AI movement is "a peace movement through the greatest synthesis of human art, cinema," and over the 18 years since its release, it has nurtured a single bond connected by the consciousness of pure love.

It is still a seed fire. But without a seed fire, there is no real fire.

We are convinced that the efforts that have been created through a single film, one by one, will advance the great progress of humankind.

This time, the protagonist will not be one person, but everyone involved.

The world is becoming more and more divided.

And many are beginning to sense that "the time has come.

Now is the time for us to continue to nurture "films that everyone loves" to unite people who share the same vision in their hearts and minds, in all their diversity.

To create a world not through war and violence, but through trust, cooperation, and dialogue.

This is our call to you.

Please watch the film "JUN AI". Please watch it as many times as you like.

Send this film as a gift to someone you care about.

You can also start a chain of peace by holding a screening, making a donation, or participating in a dialogue session.

Please participate in your own way.

One Bond on Earth

What is JUN AI?

On March 1, 2019, "Aika," who has a Japanese mother and Chinese father, stood before a crowd of 10,000 people at the National Assembly Square in South Korea.

Aihana scripted the story of her grandmother "Ai" and made it into one film.

The story of her grandmother, Ai, begins with Aika's narration...

In the summer of 1945, the long war was over.

Many Japanese pioneers were left behind on the land of China and wandered between life and death.

Meanwhile, the Chinese peasants who lived there had their precious family lives taken away by the Japanese.

This is not a war movie, but a love story. My grandmother's name was Ai...

JUN AI is the energy of consciousness of love that is infinitely pure and infinitely magnificent.

It lives in everyone and is now becoming a new collective consciousness of humanity.

We call this unnameable, yet invisible power of love that everyone knows, JUN AI, and use it as the title of a film series.

JUN AI's latest "earthrise edition

Earthrise, taken in 1968

The key visual at the beginning of JUN AI's latest "earthrise edition" on YouTube is the historic photograph "Earthrise" taken from the moon by Apollo 8 in 1968. This material is licensed for general use by NASA.

This photo was the first time humans gazed at the Earth from the outside.

The shining blue Earth rising beyond the lunar horizon reminded us of our irreplaceable "one planet" that transcends borders and conflicts.

Fifteen months after Earthrise, this great human realization gave birth to the world's first environmental movement, "Earth Day," and led to the awakening of global consciousness.

Now, JUN AI Movie & Movement inherits the spirit of Earthrise and calls for "awakening of consciousness as a global human being" through the film.

The latest version of JUN AI "earthrise edition" vividly conveys the message that all people living on the earth are united under the bond "One Bond on Earth" that transcends all differences.
