The song sung today at the Inokura Elementary School graduation. My rough translation...
Even if you’ve been hurt, and you feel like giving up
I will be beside you and lift you up.
The earth is spinning with the whole world’s hope
Right now, when I open the door to the future
I think that surely sadness and hardships will someday turn into happiness.
“I believe in Future”
Yes, I believe.
Remember, if there is someone near you who looks like they are about to cry
Just take his hand without a word
And walk together with him
I want to wrap the earth in the kindness of the whole world.
Right now, I think my feelings could burst forth
And light up the heavens with love and expectation
“I believe in Future”
Yes, I believe.
Right now, when I open the door to the future,
“ I believe in Future”

beautiful words, especially at this time, and so fitting for a graduation ceremony.I hope the food supplies are getting closer, the snow and cold getting less, and after the graduation and farewell your heart will be filled with other goodness, these words will always be true

Dear Tanya, I follow you and link to you and feel I know your family and friends. I send you love and best wishes ... It must feel like you are in a bad dream at the moment but your little song has just the sentiments that we all must hold on to. Kathy
Hi Tanya
Children are the door to our heart. The picture of a child happy, or innocent, or hopeful always brings us to the reality of the situation.
This vid of the children standing together to sing of hope wraps around our hearts instilling hope for the future.

Thank's for sharing. The people in Japan are always in my mind.
Lovely. A small song filled with hope of the future. It is true that, although I have never met you face to face, I feel like you're my friend because you have shared so much of yourself and your life with you readers. Stay well, and thank you for share such a sweet song.
What beautiful words. I wish they would play this song on some of the news coverage. Thank you for sharing this with everyone and thank you for sharing what you are going through.

Those children are OUR future and
we need to believe in them as well.

Dear Taniwa,
Do you know how to upload the video on YouTube? I think it would be encouraging for people to see and also if you included the translated text it would reach the rest of the world.
Maybe all the other commentators would like to upload it on their Blogs and spread the message?To believe in the future.

A message of hope and love in the midst of so much sorrow is especially meaningful. Lovely, Tanya.
The perfect song for this diffiult time. I couldn't hear the children singing, but it would have been in Japanese anyway. It must have been very special to hear their young voices singing that song.
What a beautiful, moving performance. It is a tribute to the people who are dealing with overwhelming events in a strong and exemplary manner. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for posting this. I think it is good to keep a routine going. Since this is a graduation does that mean they will be on vacation next?
I love the song. It must have been very emotional to be there.
I'm also glad your sewing machine is fine. We think of Japan constantly and are praying for the best outcome after this disaster.
