On March 11th, 2011, I just happened to be watching TV when they showed the tsunami sweeping through the farmlands of Natori near Sendai. Having family and friends in the areas hit by the tsunami and earthquakes, it really upset me.  I have friends in Sendai, Fukushima, Ibaraki, and most of my family live in Iwate Prefecture. I had to do my part.  I donated, but I also wrote a song.  I shot a video. It Won’t Be Long is about recovery and hope.  When I lived in Japan on the JET Program, I deeply moved by the summer festivals, or matsuri.  The sense of community, unity, and joy I felt at those events was incredible.  That was the inspiration for this song and video. I pray and hope that the affected regions can recover soon and once again partake in those happy moments. Please watch the video, download the free song, and help Japan.
