PROGRAM NOTE

Germination
萌芽

...今もなお、被災者の方々が精神的にも肉体的にも厳しい状況に置かれていることには変わりがなく、とても胸が痛む。しかし、いつか、必ず、立ち直れる日が来る。...復興の兆しがそこに芽吹いていることを信じて…。

... About one year after the earthquake, people living in Fukushima still have mental and physical difficulties, which hurts me very much. However someday the day when people recover will come. Maybe it has already started, but I believe that there are more things yet to come and germinate…
