It is 26 years ago since the Great Hanshin Earthquake. I myself wasn't living in Japan and can't even remember seeing it on the news when I was 12 years old but have been living in Kobe for over 10 years now and have heard various stories from friends and family.
As we are all living our lives during the pandemic I think it is important to remember these things and not to forget that a new disaster on top of the pandemic can happen anytime. I also believe that, by reading and watching about the earthquake, we can get strenght from seeing how people helped each other and that we should continue to do so in a time where people are becoming more and more self-centered. On top of that, better times will come.
Regarding the last link, he is actually the music teacher for my kids at the Elementary school.
My son sang it 2 years ago in Kobe:
