Light up NIPPON !
It has been for 5 months since the terrible disaster happened.
About 17,000 people were killed, and about 4,800 people are still missing even now.
People all over the nations have refrained from holding some events for the victims.
Many people who have missing families notify their death to the government, they don't satisfy themselves of it even after notifying. That's very pitiful.
Then last night, we had fireworks at some cities in Tohoku district for their requiem and recovery.
The name of the event was Light up NIPPON.
10 cities joined the event, and 20,000 fireworks were shot off to the sky at the same time.
Many volunteers have been to the areas and helped recovery, and thanks to them, some areas are getting usual life.
But many problems are still left.
People who saw the fireworks hoped and prayed for return of peaceful life.
The moment of the fireworks was just in a matter of seconds, but it remains in their hearts forever.
Our condolences are with all of the victims.
