Jpop Recommend #121 Waga utsukushiki kokyou yo by Miyuki Hatakeyama

わが美しき故郷よ Waga utsukushiki kokyou yo 

畠山 美由紀 Miyuki Hatakeyama 

Released in December 2011, this song is one of the songs in her 5th album with the same title.  It has been 5 years already since the Great East Japan Earthquake.
When I listen to this song, it calms my mind but it also reminds me of that day...
