orange pekoe dedicates “Tomoshibi” to earthquake victims

Many Japanese musicians have been writing songs to support earthquake victims, and recently, Jazz-fusion band orange pekoe has joined them in these efforts with their new track, “Tomoshibi“.

Members Nagashima Tomoko and Fujimoto Kazuma wrote the song as a “song of prayer” for the earthquake victims and to those involved with the relief effort. The duo recorded the track using a handheld recorder so they could conserve electricity; consequently, Fujimoto mentioned in his blog that the sound quality wasn’t all that great.


Still, it’s a touching piece that really shows the musicians’ thoughtfulness from beginning to end.
