To me who was a child at that time
Eight years have passed since the massive tsunami hit the Tohoku region of Japan. The town that was damaged by the tsunami was renewed and the number of lights in the town increased.

To me who was a child at that time
Yu Sasaki 20 years old. Minamisanriku, Miyagi. 18 Feb 2019. Yu is a carpenter. The tsunami hit Minami Sanriku when he was 12 years old. At that time, he was in school and started refuge at school. He didn't see it when the tsunami happened, but he remembers hearing a great thunderous sound. After that, he met a college student who was a volunteer in Minamisanriku, which had a great influence on his life. The encounter made Yu think of helping other disasters in the region if they needed help.
