Yoko Kanno uploads an earthquake support song to Youtube

Maaya's long-time friend and mentor Yoko Kanno has recorded and uploaded a song in support of the earth quake relief efforts to Youtube. Mai from over at Gabrielarobin.com has posted a by-ear translation of the lyrics (edited a little by me):

心配してる
世界が君を心配してる
君の名前を探してる

We're worrying
The world is worrying about you
And searching for your names

いっしょにいるよ
世界が君とうっしょにいるよ
君の命に会いに行く

YWe're together with you
The world is together with you
We're going to meet your life

心と体
怖さ月にを抱きしめていて
会いに行くまで
きみでいて　ぶじでいて

Your mind and body
embraces the scary moon
Until we meet again
please keep yourself safe

The British Red Cross has also opened their appeal for donations to help Japan deal with the aftermath of this massive natural disaster here.
