Neither simply an Asian singer nor merely an international artist, her music
stands at the boundary between worlds, embodying a sense of gratitude
reminiscent of childhood prayers heard in church. At the same time, carrying
the memories of loneliness and poverty she witnessed in Los Angeles, she
continues to infuse her songs with both prayer and reality.
Her courage to confront and embrace reality without turning away possesses
a force far beyond the temporary, as she continues to pursue the immense
vision of “The Lord of the GRAMMYs.”

CANNES GALA is a prestigious international social
gathering held in Cannes, France, under the
official recognition of the Cannes Film Festival’s
Marche du Film. Distinguished by its invitation-
only, closed format, it brings together artists.
cultural figures, entrepreneurs, and visionaries from around
the world. It has grown into a one-of-a-kind international
ceremony dedicated to discussing and celebrating “the next
hundred years of the cultural industries.” Guided by the
philosophy of “Honest and Noble”, the GALA serves as the highest
echelon of social gatherings where “expression and contribution,”
“technology and spirit,” and “the individual and the world”
exists in harmonious balance.
CANNES GALA is built upon these pillars: serving as an international net-
working, sharing and preserving cultural value, and honoring excel-
lence through its bestowal ceremony. Here, the top one percent
of the world’s artists, creators, entrepreneurs, thinkers, and cultural
leaders engage in dialogue grounded in shared values and a for-
ward-looking vision for the future of the content industry.

The GALA also features performances of
time-honored classical traditions, embody-
ing the eternal flow of history and culture
from the past to the present, and into the
future. In past years, Japanese traditional
arts such as tea ceremony, flower arrange-
ment, and Noh theater have been chosen
as featured performances. In addition, a
charity auction enables participants to
contribute directly to cultural causes,
fostering a deeper sense of responsibility
and engagement. At the heart of CANNES
GALA lies its most symbolic element - the
"Preuve de Do" bestowal ceremony. This is a stage dedicated to
honoring individuals and organizations that have made significant
contributions to the content industry. The scope of recognition
spans a vast array of cultural and artistic fields, including film,
music, animation, space exploration, fashion,
technology, toys, cultural heritage, the per-
forming arts and more. Distinct from existing
film awards, the GALA employs unique criteria,
bestowing honors upon those whose achieve-
ments are entrusted with shaping the next
century of the content industry, as well as
Honest and Noble
the emerging leaders who will guide it forward. The recipients are
recognized as “beacons of hope and creativity for the next era,” with
recognition extending to symbolic figures in society, pioneers of tech-
nological innovation, educators, cultural preservationists, and even
the tools and institutions that support these endeavors. The CANNES
GALA is a ceremony that pays profound respect and gratitude to
the cultural heritage woven by the imperishable spirit of humankind.
