In case you’re not familiar with the original We Are the World, it’s a song written for charity by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and sung by an all-star cast including Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Cyndi Lauper, Bette Midler, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, Diana Ross, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner and, oddly, Dan Aykroyd, among others.

The single was meant to raise awareness and money for Ethiopia, which was devastated by drought and famine in 1984, and became a huge worldwide hit, topping the charts in many countries.

As for who these guys are, I have no idea. Anybody read Japanese?
