Last Updated September 23, 2024

Yokohama Fire Music Band

The Yokohama City Fire Music Band was founded in 1958 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the opening of Yokohama Port and the 70th anniversary of the municipal organization.
In order to realize Yokohama, a city where people can feel safe and secure, we conduct public relations activities in various parts of the city through performances and performances.
Currently, we have a base for our activities in Yokohama Disaster Risk Reduction Learning Center (external site) and regularly hold disaster prevention contact concerts and various concerts and events to promote a wide range of public relations activities.

Port Angels 119

Port Angels 119 was born in 1982 as Japan's first "female drill team who can perform" as a fire music band, and this nickname was named in 1983 by the general public recruitment and has been widely known to date.
If you would like to see the training of Port Angels 119, or if you would like to visit other than the briefing, please contact the music band in advance.

Introduction of music

Greetings from the inauguration of the orchestra

 It is Adachi who became the captain of the Yokohama City Fire Music Band from 2024. Two years ago, he was hired as a conductor of the Yokohama City Fire Music Band, and in his third year of recruitment, he was able to play such a role. Before becoming the conductor of the music band, he served as a music teacher at Yokohama Municipal High School for 27 years and Vice Principal Hazama for 6 years. In the first year of recruitment, I was surprised and confused by the work environment completely different from the past, but with the cooperation of everyone around me, I feel that last year I was finally able to adapt myself to my current position I am.
 I think that the primary mission of the Fire Music Band is to publicize firefighting through music and to foster citizens' awareness of disaster prevention. . I would like to continue performing activities every day without always forgetting this important mission, and at the same time, aiming for a performance that can give courage and energy to everyone who listens.
 I will continue to meet you in various situations, and I hope you will appreciate your warm applause. Thank you very much.

Yokohama City Fire Music Band Introduction Video

♩It is a video of the training scene of Angels 119.


♩We introduce the performance and performance at famous places in Yokohama and the activities of the Yokohama City Fire Music Band so far.


♩In 2020, we solicited original theme songs for the purpose of making them more widely known to citizens.
Many works were delivered to the fire music band, but as a result of strict examination, it was decided to be "Bon Voyage" composed by Kei Sato.
We will further raise awareness by having them recognize "theme song" = "firefighting music band", and carry out effective fire prevention and disaster prevention publicity with the aim of becoming a more familiar and friendly music band.

♩In order to call for the prevention of the spread of COVID-19, the Tokyo Fire Department Music Band (Saitama City Fire Music Band, Chiba City Fire Music Band, Kawasaki City Fire Music Band, Yokohama City Fire Music Band) gathered remotely at the call of the Tokyo Fire Department Music Band.
