In high school history class, I was impressed and saddened as I learned about Pearl Harbor and the subsequent bombing of Hiroshima. After graduation, I had the opportunity to actually visit the city of Hiroshima and walk through the ruins of the bombing. What I learned about the war in school now became so real to my heart. I had a deeper sense of the pain, suffering and sadness caused by the war on both sides. This experience inspired me to return home to Hawaii and write this song which I named "Hiroshima". I hope that our world will never have to go through such a tragedy again. May this song inspire others to feel what I felt in Hiroshima.
