Neil Young's "Living With War" is spreading.

"I wrote about your diary and linked to the site, because I think everybody should read it."

"I've found your site from other people writing about it in their blogs."

"I'll print it out and give it to my friends who don't have a computer."

"I've written about the album and it's translation, even my friends who don't know about Neil Young were moved."

"I've seen the site 'World Peace Now' mentioning your site."

Some were motivated to do something by Neil's "Living With War".

"Neil Young has made such an amazing album, and someone has translated it right away. I feel I need to do something, too."

"Now I know many people died before they fulfilled their dreams. I need to act."

Singer songwriter M worte a song.

"On the other side of the earth
With the same feeling
Let's start the action, don't give up
One courage will staart the peace
Love Love Love and Peace"

Rock musician T wrote a song

"How many people are aware that we are not in peace?
How many people are not aware that we are not in peace?"

Y from Sasebo, Nagasaki wrote.
(There is a huge US military base in Sasebo.)

"While having a late breakfast, my daughter, 15, a freshman in high school, asked me, 'Mom, will we survive? If war breaks, if an A-bomb goes out, will we vanish to nothing?' What a heavy topic for the morning! Just last night, we were excited about Japanese soccer games."

"I didn't plan it, but the words 'America's conscience, our conscience' came out of my mouth. I can't let you die. My love as a parent to you can not let you die."

"I was feeling down, and turned the PC on. Burning Neil's song was waiting for me. I can't stop crying."

Y is currently promoting the movie called "Ari no Heitai (Ant Soldiers)". The story about the Japanese soldiers who were forced to stay in China and fight even after WWII was over.

I didn't know any such a story existed.

The hope for peace was connected.
