"Bring Happiness to the World" was written after the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in Kobe. "Strength no earthquake can defeat... We'll restore our wounded Kobe to be as it was." A rallying cry for hope in areas hit by natural disasters, it has been sung across Japan and in many other countries. People encouraged by its message have hailed it as a 'miracle' song. The former Yamakoshi village still sings it at memorial services. A children's choir based out of temporary housing in Kumamoto performs the song for others. Discover the extraordinary power of this 25-year-old song as it brings together disaster survivors around the world.
