WE NEVER FORGET 311.
Again, it will come shortly, 311, which is the 10th.
There are so many artists who performed their warm heart to mourn in their play. Bob James is one of the remarkable artists. He showed them mainly at TOKYO JAZZ.

After 311, he thought a lot what he could do. And one of his reply is ” PUT OUR HEARTS TOGETHER“. He made a tune, then later put vocal on it. In 2012, special vocalist, Seiko Matsuda has collaborated on vocal. In 2015, Hilarey James (his daughter ) has collaborated.
What a pity I lost the chance to see them both !!
Then, in 2015, there was another special. With Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, and this is the second reply from him.
1st movement= OFUNATO (大船渡）(one of the major disaster place)
2nd movement= Aftermath
3rd movement= A New Dawn
What a pity I lost the chance to see it !!!!
