“The Phone of the Wind” at News Station!

September 11th, the monthly anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake, is the second year and six months. Many people have been sacrificed, and many have not returned to their families yet.

At News Station in TV Asahi, on the 11th of every month, which is monthly date as the date of death, Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima are reported about the present after the earthquake. The feelings of those who died while thinking about their families until the very end, the feelings of the bereaved families left behind, and the “The Phone of the Wind” that connects them on the wind. It will be broadcast live fromBell Gardia KUJIRAYAMA around 22:00 on September 11th.

I myself would like to mourn the victims of the earthquake and mourn the following poems.


“Let’s go back to that hometown”

Itaru Sasaki

That day I left home without telling anyone
Many times on the way, the smiles of my family tried to pull me back
A big invisible power wraps me
Far from home

It was a strange city and I was lost and confused
I don’t have a favorite shop, a face I knew, or a nostalgic scent of flowers here.
A city with endless darkness
Where is the outskirts of the city here
Where is my whereabouts

I want to go home
Hometown with original forest and stream is good
All you need is a small market, a beauty salon and a small florist
I want to go home
Hometown where I laugh and you and your family laugh
It ’s nice that everyone can get close to each other.

I’m not talking with a smile right now
But you can see me
That hometown where you and your family live is my place
I’m always there
So that loved ones can live happily
I’m always there
So that you can always be close to me
Let’s go back to that hometown
