Hideko’s speech for the Hiroshima & Nagasaki Memorial Concert 2010
Thank you, Dimity and Shizuka. Hello everyone. My name is Hideko Nakamura. I am a representative of JfP. Our group was formed in March 2005, and as some of you still remember, in August that year we had a big concert at Federation Square to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki despite the heavy rain in the middle of the concert. Since then we had held a memorial concert every year, although not outdoors, but indoors. Each concert was remarkable thanks to extraordinary performers and powerful speakers, as we have seen today. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our friends who contributed to their time for our concerts, the performers, the speakers, guests, volunteers, JfP members and you, the audience. 続きを読む
