The City of Hiroshima has created and released a video for the English version of the Hiroshima Peace Song, a song which is so important to our city and continues to be sung each year at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony, in order to share a strong message of peace to the world from Hiroshima, a city that represents peace.
This video features Songs for World Peace, Utako Toyama (winner of the first Hiroshima Award for Music during the first Hiroshima Festival and Songs for World Peace member), Berklee College of Music, Mayors for Peace Executive Cities, municipalities in the Hiroshima Regional Urban Area, and cultural arts organizations, and would not have been possible without their cooperation.
It is our hope that through this video, the Hiroshima Peace Song will echo throughout the ages around the world.
