廣津留すみれさんのインスタグラム動画 - (廣津留すみれInstagram)「🎶花は咲く／菅野よう子⠀ (Hana wa Saku - charity song for 3.11 disaster. long English post below ↓)⠀ ⠀ 今日で10年。⠀ 大分の高校生だった私はTVにうつる映画のような衝撃的な光景をただ見つめることしかできず。とにかく嘘であってほしいと自分の目を信じられなかったことを覚えています。⠀ ⠀ 震災のことを読んだり思いを綴ったりするだけで涙が溢れそうになるのはきっと私だけじゃないはず。⠀ ⠀ 10年経った今できることがあるとするなら、1つは震災のことをもっと調べて次の災害に備えること。当時の人々が残してくれた資料や映像・教訓を生かして、こんな被害が二度と起きないようにしたい。こんなことが起こり得るから気をつけようねと世界に伝えたいです。⠀ ⠀ そして1つは犠牲者・行方不明者の方々に思いを馳せること。平和な世界を願って「花は咲く」を弾きました。🕊⠀ ⠀ Today, 3.11, marks the 10th year since the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. At 2:46pm when the earthquake happened, I was at my high school cramming for college exam, but the school released us due to the possibility of tsunami —even in my hometown which is 800+ miles away from the epicenter. The scene I was watching on TV was just like a horrible film, and I hoped it was actually a fiction. The disaster killed 15000+ people and there are still many who haven't been found. ⠀ ⠀ Just writing this tears me up from my experience having been in my safe hometown watching crazy news with my family back then, and I cannot imagine how it feels to those affected in any ways. If there is something we can do now, I think it is to know about what happened and get proper preparation for unexpected disasters like this - to avoid any sacrifices.⠀ ⠀ YouTube videos of tsunami in Tohoku might be triggering, but good to know something human beings absolutely cannot control could happen. When you search "3.11" on Yahoo Japan today, you can donate ¥10 (about 10 cents) to affected areas. #prayfortohoku」3月11日 10時42分
