Japan was hit by earthquakes and tsunamis and radioactivity.
The first time I tried to speak in English.
And I played "smile".

震災後、海外から多くのコメントをいただきました。私や家族、日本のことを心配してくださる方からのメッセージがたくさんありました。私は岡山に住んでいるので影響はあり­ませんでしたが、世界の人々の優しさにとても感謝しています。しかし、中には心ないコメントもありました。「野菜で楽器を作るなんてばかなことをしているから日本がこんな­災害に遭うんだ。」「その野菜は放射能に汚染されている。」悔しかったので今回は海外向けに英語でコメントしました。曲もチャップリンが作曲、後にマイケルジャクソンらが­カバーした「スマイル」にしました。今回は日本の方にもたくさん見ていただけたようなので感謝しています。(5月4日、日本語にて補足説明追加)

  • Hey, I'm glad your alive. I was beginning to worry that you had died in the earthquake in Japan. I will definately pray for Japan. God bless.

  • @lemunblues Thank you.

    Five months have passed since then. NE Japan is not recovering from the tsunami. Not converge Fukushima nuclear power plant accidents.

  • I ask not to offend but just out of curiosity Heita. What is your religion?

  • @DevilishDemonDog Buddhism is the religion of my home.

  • 世界はますます多くのスマイルを必要とします。

    The whole world needs to smile more.

    Most of us wonder at a smiling person in the street, as if he or she is strange, perhaps even crazy. There is something wrong with that.

    その調子で頑張ってね、前栽先輩!

    Keep it up, heitaさん!

  • You speak good english now! Japanese men are sooo cute! ;-P

  • i sang along!

  • Haha please pray for vegetables (; Ganbatte Japan!

  • Your English is fantastic. You sound a bit deeper than when you are speaking Japanese. I'm English and I would really like to learn Japanese. I really like Japan. Keep up the good work on your vegetable instruments! I think you should make more "how to make this" videos. I loved "how to make a carrot ocarina"!

  • You speak English very well. I will pray for Japan and the vegetables, please stay safe, because I love your vegetable instrument videos.

  • @heita3 Ok. I've studied buddhism before. Zen buddhism to be more exact.
