８月６日は

August 6th is one of those days Japanese people would never forget. It's the Hiroshima A-bomb Day. As always, (one of the Hiroshima survivors) my father-in-law's composition called Prayer Music No.1 'Dirge' was performed at the annual Peace Memorial Ceremony in Hiroshima this morning (from 8:08 a.m. to 8:14 a.m.). President Obama didn't attend the ceremony this year but we hope he will in the future.

今年も広島で平和記念式典（「広島市原爆死没者慰霊式並びに平和祈念式」）がありました。いつものように、義父の作曲した「祈りの曲 第１ "哀悼歌"」が流れました（８時８分から１４分まで）。核兵器の無い世界をめざすアメリカのオバマ大統領、今年の式典には出席しませんでしたが、いつの日か広島に来て欲しいと思います。
