Memo:
Tsunami tendenko (津波てんでんこ, lit. tsunami scatter) = a way to escape from tsunamis, passed down in Sanriku district (三陸地方) engulfed by huge tsunamis after the earthquake at March 11. The word tells: when tsunami hits, scatter and escape without any regard to your parents and brothers to avoid the annihilation of your family. As result it's the quickest way to escape and the best way most of you survive. For 10 to 30 minutes until tsunami comes, escape or die.
In this disaster, some reports say many annihilated families are not counted even to the missing yet, even today, a month after the earthquake.

Title in Romaji: Tsunami Tendenko
Translated Lyrics:
Baby's life at birth is dazzlingly shining
You also have the same one
So, don't blame being alive yourself
Tsunami scatter
I hope you would stay alive as flowers leave seeds after dying
As long as we can leave our happy memory on any one of us
Tsunami scatter
It's a sad promise of the family
I'm sure it would be denied by people
But that's the way we have stayed alive all the time with such a slender thread
Tsunami scatter
We have to live on
We have to survive
Even if people say we are cruel
Even if it would be only one of us
Tsunami scatter

This is such a beautiful song. I was just getting over the Japanese disaster too, but this brought on a whole new wave of sympathy for the Japanese.

The artist tuned her differently, it sounds like he/she changed the Gender and Breath factors to fit the song.

The logic behind the method is true. I guess it is like how flowers pollinate, scattering their "family" in the wind. Still, I could never imagine leaving my loved ones behind in a disaster, even if it meant my own survival.

otsukaresama deshita! so, during a tsunami tendenko you are to basically think only for yourself, and leave everyone behind? sou... it does seem a bit cruel, but i understand the logic... beautiful song though
