Multi-platinum international rock band Linkin Park asked Fuzati to create a video to be shown at their then-secret concert with Japan’s best-selling artist, B’z, to raise funds to help Japanese Tsunami victims through the band’s charity Music for Relief.

Using our social media networks, Fuzati was named one of the top fundraisers (#18 to be exact) who helped the band raise more than $325,000 in a few months for children in Japan.

The concert was August 31, 2011 at The Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles. To get tickets for the event, the band asked for help raising funds for earthquake and tsunami recovery in Japan through Music for Relief. Fans visited SecretShowForJapan.com to join the campaign to send aid to Japan.  Fans who raised at least $500  by August 24 earned two tickets to the show. 100% of the net proceeds went to provide care and financial support to children affected by the recent disasters.

Fuzati earned tickets and was invited to a meet and greet with the band before the concert.  Check out footage from our video and summary of the event here:
