Mariah Carey & Luciano Pavarotti - Hero  

There's a hero 
If you look inside your heart 
You don't have to be afraid 
Of what you are 
There's an answer 
If you reach into your sould 
And the sorrow that you know 
Will melt away 

And then a hero comes along 
With the strength to carry on 
And you cast your fears aside 
And you know you can survive 
So when you feel like hope is gone 
Look inside you and be strong 
And you'll finally see the truth 
That a hero lies in you 

It's a long road 
When you face the world alone 
No one reaches out a hand 
For you to hold 
You can find love 
If you search within yourself 
And the emptiness you felt 
Will disappear 
  
Lord knows 
dreams are hard to follow 
But don't let anyone tear them away 
Hold on there will be tomorrow 
In time you'll find the way

Mary J Blige & Bono - One  

Is it getting better? 
Or do you feel the same? 
Will it make it easier on you, 
Now you got someone to blame 
You say one love, one life 
When it's one need, in the night 
One love, we get to share it 
It leaves you, baby, if you don't care for it 

Did I disappoint you? 
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? 
You act like you never had love 
And you want me to go without 
Well, it's too late, tonight 
To drag the past out into the light 
We're one, but we're not the same 
We get to carry each other, 
carry each other One... 

Have you come here for forgiveness 
Have you come to raise the dead 
Have you come here to play Jesus 
To the lepers in your head 
Did I ask too much, more than a lot 
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got 
We're one, but we're not the same 
Well, we hurt each other then we do it again. 

You say love is a temple, love a higher law 
Love is a temple, love the higher law 
You ask me to enter, 
but then you make me crawl 
And I can't be holding on, 
to what you got when all you got is hurt 

One love, one blood 
One life, you got to do what you should 
One life with each other: sisters, brothers 
One life, but we're not the same 
We get to carry each other, carry each other. 
One (lone) One... 

Make in it, make in it, higher...

Michael Jackson - Heal the World  

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.

And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

Heal the world make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.

Heal the world make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race.
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.

And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see,
this world is heavenly be God's glow.

We could fly so high let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.

Heal the world make it a better place
for you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.

There are people dying 
If you care enough for the living 
Make a better place for you and for me. 
There are people dying 
If you care enough for the living 
Make a better place for you and for me. 

You and for me Make a better place 
You and for me Make a better place 
You and for me Make a better place 

You and for me 
Heal the world we live in 
You and for me 
Save it for our children 
You and for me 
Heal the world we live in 
You and for me 
Save it for our children 
You and for me 
Heal the world we live in 
You and for me 
Save it for our children 
You and for me 
Heal the world we live in 
You and for me 
Save it for our children

Clementine - Ue o muite arukoo (Sukiyaki)    

上を向いて歩こう 
涙がこぼれないように 
思い出す 春の日 
一人ぼっちの夜 

上を向いて歩こう 
にじんだ星をかぞえて 
思い出す 夏の日 
一人ぼっちの夜 
幸せは 雲の上に 
幸せは 空の上に 
上を向いて歩こう 
涙がこぼらないように 
泣きながら歩く 
一人ぼっちの夜 

思い出す 秋の日 
一人ぼっちの夜 
悲しみは 星のかげに 
悲しみは 月のかげに 
上を向いて歩こう 
涙がこぼれないように 
泣きながら歩く 
一人ぼっちの夜 
一人ぼっちの夜 


Sous une pluie d'étoiles, douce pluie d'étoiles 
Nous écoutions tous les deux chanter les cigales 
Nous étions seuls, seuls dans la nuit 
Perdus sous une pluie d'étoiles 

Mon coeur s'est laissé prendre là dans l'herbe tendre 
Ou nous rêvions tous les deux sous la lune pale 
Qui souriait dans son palais 
Vêtue d'un long manteau d'étoiles 

J'ai fermé les yeux quand tu m'as embrassée 
Alors j'ai senti que la terre tournant 
Car toutes les étoiles et la lune pale 
Donnaient un bal, un grand bal pour nos fiançailles 
Les yeux fermés, j'ai vu danser 
Au moins deux cent millions d'étoiles 

Nous étions seuls, seuls dans la nuit 
Perdus sous une pluie d'étoiles 

Ce premier amour est gravé dans ma vie 
Et jamais mon coeur n'oubliera cette nuit 
Car toutes les étoiles et la lune pale 
Donnaient un bal, un grand bal avec les cigales 
Pour deux enfants qui s'embrassaient 
Perdus sous une pluie d'étoiles 
Perdus sous une pluie d'étoiles

Ben E. King - Stand By Me 

When the night has come 
and the land is dark 
And the moon is the only light we'll see 
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me 

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, 
oh now now stand by me 
 Stand by me, stand by me  

If the sky that we look upon 
should tumble and fall 
And the mountains should crumble to the sea 
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me 

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me 
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e 

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, 
oh now stand by me 
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me 

Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me 
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Sheryl Crow - Always On Your Side
feat. Sting  

My yesterdays are all boxed up 
and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting 
to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called,  
you found a place to hide
When you knew 

that I was always on your side 

Well everything was easy then,  
so sweet and innocent
But your demons and your angels reappeared
Leavin' all the traces of the man 
you thought you'd be
Leavin' me with no place left to go from here
Leavin' me so many questions all these years

But is there someplace far away,  
someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones  
you hold so dear or are you left to wonder, 
all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, 
but never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side

But is there someplace far away, 
someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold 
so dear or are we left to wonder, 
all alone, eternally 
But is this how it's really meant to be
No is it how it's really meant to be

Well if they say that love is in the air, 
never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
If butterflies are free to fly, 

why do they fly away
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me 
wondering through this life
When you know that I was always on your side 


LOVE & PEACE . . .

Bon Jovi - It's My Life (acoustic) 

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted 
No silent prayer for the faith-departed 
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd 
You're gonna hear may voice 
When I shout it out loud 

It's my life 
It's now or never 
I ain't gonna live forever 
I just want to live while I'm alive 
It's my life 
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said Idid it my way 
I just wanna live while I'm alive 
It's my life 

This is for the ones who stood their ground 
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down 
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake 
Luck ain't even lucky 
Got to make your own breaks 

It's my life 
And it's now or never 
I ain't gonna live forever 
I just want to live while I'm alive 
It's my life 
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said I did it my way 
I just want to live while I'm alive 
'Cause it's my life 

Better stand tall when they're calling you out 
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down 

It's my life 
And it's now or never 
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever 
I just want to live while I'm alive 
It's my life 
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said I did it my way 
I just want to live while I'm alive 

It's my life 
And it's now or never 
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever 
I just want to live while I'm alive 
It's my life 
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said I did it my way  
I just want to live while I'm alive  
'Cause it's my life !

Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen  

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this 
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in with you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah

  L is for the way you look at me 
  O is for the only one I see 
  V is very, very extraordinary 
  E is even more than anyone that you adore 

  Love is all that I can give to you 
  Love is more than just a game for two 
  Two in love can make it 
  Take my heart and please don't break it 
  Love was made for me and you

Smile - Michael Jackson  

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by . . .
If you smile with your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just . . .
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just . . .
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by . . .
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile . . .
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile . . .

Eric Clapton - Change the World  

If I can reach the stars, pull one down for you,
shine it on my heart so you could see the truth.

That this love I have inside is everything it seems.
but for now I find It's only in my dreams.

And I can change the world,
I will be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
baby if I could change the world.

And if I could be king, even for a day,
I'd take you as my queen.
I'd have it no other way.

And our love would rule this kingdom we had made.
Till then I'd be a fool, wishing for the day...

That I can change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good, 
Baby if I could change the world. 
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

"What a Wonderful World"
Louis Armstrong 


I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom, for me and you.
And I think to myself, 

what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white.
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow, 
so pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces, of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands.
Saying, "How do you do?" 

They're really saying, "I love you".

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow,
they'll learn much more, than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.

"Over the Rainbow"
Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole 

somewhere over the rainbow way up high
and the dreams that you dreamed of
once in a lullaby ii ii iii
somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
and the dreams that you dreamed 
of dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
someday I'll wish upon a star
wake up where the clouds 
are far behind me ee ee eeh
where trouble melts like lemon drops
high above the chimney tops 
thats where you'll find me oh
somewhere over the rainbow
blue birds fly 
and the dream that you dare to, 
why, oh why can't I? i iiii

well I see trees of green and red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me 
and you 
and I think to myself what a wonderful world 

well I see skies of blue 
and I see clouds of white 
and the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
what a wonderful world

the colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
saying, "How do you do?"
they're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
they'll learn much more than we'll know
and I think to myself what a wonderful world

someday I'll wish upon a star,
wake up where the clouds are far behind me
where trouble melts like lemon drops
high above the chimney top 
that's where you'll find me 
oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
and the dream that you dare to, 
why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?

新たな命の誕生。 03/15/2011


今日、私の大切な友人夫婦のもとに
新しい命が誕生しました。

無事に女の子を出産したと聞き、
なんだか久しぶりに明るい気持ちに。
地震直後、大きなお腹を抱えて、
銀座から浜松町付近まで一人で歩き、
その後車に乗るも、自宅に着いたら、
エレベーターの停止 。。。
そして30階近くまで階段を上りきった
スーパーたくましいママ。
人手不足の病院、続く余震、、 
そんな状況での入院と出産は、
とてもとても不安だったと思うけど、
母子共に無事で本当に良かった! 
3月1日には我が社員にも第ニ子が誕生。
これから人生が始まる彼らの為にも、
私たち世代が頑張らなくてはね、
と改めて思った今日一日。

義援金・節電への協力のほかは、
冷静に淡々と普段通りの生活をして、
経済活動に励む事が私に出来る事、
そして復興につながる事と思っています。
