Text by Nobuko Yoshida: "There are many different countries on the earth. No matter how difficult our lives may be, all of us share one same property, the sky. No matter how far away I was from my country, I always felt reassured when I looked up in the sky, thinking that the same sky was connected to where my family lives."
