The beach stage of the '3rd Okinawa International Film Festival' held a live event called�"Yell, laugh & peace SP live", which invited many Okinawan artists to perform. THE BOOM's Miyazawa Kazufumi was one of the many artist-guests that night, and he performed "Shima Uta" specifically for the victims of the Great Tohoku earthquake. �"Shima Uta" was first released back in 1993, and it became one of THE BOOM's masterpieces.
Miyazawa said, "I kept singing by myself at home after the earthquake, since I could not feel like singing on the stage. 'Shima Uta' is the song of Okinawa's sorrow, but tonight, I will sing this with my thoughts for the people in eastern Japan."
When Miyazawa started singing, the crowd began singing with him, and in the end, it swelled into a great chorus of heartfelt music.
