2 Years After – Thoughts Set to Music
Sunday nights, a personal time flowing gently with exquisite music, is a moment of bliss for adults. This time is further enriched by DJ Toshio Matsuura's radio program, "TOKYO MOON."—He broadcasts his carefully selected wonderful music from around the world, along with topics for adults that stimulate intellectual curiosity, every Sunday from 24:00 on Inter FM 76.1MHz. Here, we look back at the program that just aired each week. Two years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake. This week, we deliver our thoughts through song.

What We Can Do for the Disaster-Stricken Areas
Two years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake. While many challenges remain, such as numerous affected individuals unable to return to their former lives, the unresolved nuclear accident, and the slow pace of reconstruction, the memory of the earthquake is fading daily for people, including myself.
I intend to continue paying attention to the developments regarding many issues, but I also want to continue supporting the disaster-stricken areas by seeking out what I can do, even if it's on a small scale. Above all, "to think of them." I believe this is the most important thing.
With that sentiment in mind, I selected the music for this episode.
Telefon Tel Aviv "Remixes Compiled"
Kronos Quartet "Music of Bill Evans"
O.S.T. "Mi Vida Sin Mi "
Caetano Veloso "Abraçaço"
