In February of this year, U-Choir released a video of the song "You are the Flower, I am the Wind" in both Japanese and Chinese to the world via the Internet.In addition to the U-Choir, about 100 students, including parents and international students, faculty members, chorus clubs from other universities, and general chorus groups gathered to record this English version under the direction and guidance of Mr. Yohei Yoshimura, the U-Choir's advisor.
The lyrics of the song, "You are the flower, I am the wind," are subtitled "If you make the flower of talent open, I will be the wind that carries the seeds of that flower," and the lyrics include messages such as "History has never given up," "You, be the bridge that connects the world," and "Love, go beyond words and reach the world," wishing for a world without conflict.
