Put your money where your mouth is?

I came across a video of AP Bank fes 06 which looked fun and great outdoor music festival with many J-pop stars. Looking around I found out that the name stands for Artists’ Power or Alternative Power. Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kazutoshi Sakurai aka Gaku (from Mr Children) and Takeshi Kobayashi, a record producer, in 2003 founded and funded the nonprofit lending group, which finances eco-friendly projects. “When I thought about what I could do as an individual, the environment came up,” says Kobayashi, AP Bank’s president. “Money for the sake of money isn’t great, but money is a tool, and people can use it as a community.”

There's something I remember Jesus saying about the love of money, which this reminds me of.

This video brings a veteran singer Oda Kazumasa on stage and he shows his class as an artist.
