"This song is the Japanese version of the hand play called 'Wind the Bobbin Up'. My wife always sang this song when our children were very little. At that time I thought it came from Japan, but the data says it's from Denmark. And though I knew there were various versions such as in French and English. I was really surprised. The song came into Japan from the USA, I suppose." -Sadao

The band Inawashirokos, formed after last month’s earthquake by a group of four Fukushima-born musicians from well-known bands, have released their first single, I love you & I need you Fukushima.

The song sends a message of support from all of Japan to the Fukushima prefecture, which was one of the areas hardest hit during the earthquake and continues to grapple with the unfolding nuclear crisis.

The band has also released an emotionally stirring music video on YouTube that shows the solidarity and support of people from all across Japan. The video has been gaining attention among uses, many adding their own words of encouragement and commenting that, when watching the video, “the tears didn’t stop.”

The video was professionally created by a group of volunteers from the advertising business and features a total 47 famous Japanese actors and actresses, each representing a different prefecture, singing along with the song.
