>>>>>> A Song for Japan (all sales go to charity)! Please help! <<<<<<

Dear all, I hope you'll my new track For Japan: The Rain Will Not Defeat You

It is inspired by the poem Be Not Defeated by the Rain by Kenji Miyazama, one of Japan's most celebrated poets and a native of Iwate Prefecture, a region severely hit by the earthquake. For the thousands of people who now live in emergency shelters, his call to stand fast in the face of adversity is a source of strength and courage. To me, it also captures the quiet determination of the Japanese people, and the incredible courage, calm and integrity with which they have faced this crisis.

Please read Kenji Miyazawa's moving poem on the following URL:

All sales go to Ashinaga ("daddy longlegs"), an NGO that supports children orphaned by the earthquake! Please read more about Ashinaga here: http://www.ashinaga.org/en/

Best regards,

Yes, I hope so too. This is such a beautiful country, and particularly the Fukushima region used to be just wonderful - great people, great food, nature, good old Japan feeling...... sadly so much of it was lost in the tsunami.

It will take a long time for Japan to recover fully I think, but I think this kind of situation brings out the best in the Japanese and their ability to just dig their heels in and fight on without complaining.
