[MV] Glory to Ukraine ~Together with Ukraine~ Vocals & Piano: TAON | Filming & Editing: Kawagoe Dream Project | Produced by FM Lupinus

This is a song in support of Ukraine by TAON, created based on words posted on social media by Ms.

Tetyana Umebayashi, a Ukrainian-born priestess at Kamisato Sugawara Shrine.

Centered around the piano, the warm atmosphere blends with TAON’s gentle singing voice, giving the impression that the song’s message comes through directly and clearly.

While depicting the beautiful scenery of Ukraine, it also expresses a wish for a peaceful world—an inspiring piece.

Another notable point is the inclusion of multiple languages within a single song, which feels like an invitation for the world to unite its heart toward peace.

The People’s SongClaude-Michel Schönberg

“Do You Hear the People Sing?” Broadway performers cheer on Ukraine with a song in New York’s Times Square [Full Version]

This is a work by Claude-Michel Schönberg that depicts, in a majestic chorus, the strong will and solidarity of people who refuse to bow to oppression.

It is a song from the 1980 musical Les Misérables, and its universal message has made it an anthem sung in social movements around the world.

Its hopeful content—voices heralding the dawn of a new world, and blood-soaked soil nurturing the future—resonates with the encouragement Broadway actors offered to Ukraine.

Would you like to experience, through music, the spirit of those who stand up to an unjust reality?

The crimson Carina is in the grassland.Степан М. Чарнецький

[Ukrainian] The Red Viburnum in the Meadow (Ой у лузі червона калина) (Japanese subtitles)

This is a patriotic song imbued with a strong resolve to rally together and restore glory, seeing the image of the homeland in the bowed red viburnum.

The melody, originally composed in 1914 for a play, later had lyrics added by soldiers and has been passed down as a symbol of resistance.

In 2022, the British rock band Pink Floyd created the humanitarian aid track “Hey, Hey, Rise Up!” based on this song, proving the work’s power to unite people across nations and eras.

Its indomitable cry of the soul strikes the listener’s heart and gives courage to face tomorrow.

Prayers for Ukrainesanbika

Ukrainian hymn “Prayer for Ukraine (Молитва за Україну)”

This work features a solemn, beautiful melody that feels like the cry of Ukraine’s soul, striking straight to the heart.

The lyrics—praying to God to protect the homeland and guide people forever with the light of wisdom and peace—sink deeply into the listener’s heart.

Blending the sentiment of Ukrainian folk music with Europe’s traditional choral style, this piece truly embodies the spirit of the nation.

When you wish for peace for those in difficult circumstances and want to offer your heart through the power of music, why not sing it while thinking of the people on the front lines?

Go on Home Russian Soldiers！ShamRocks

Japanese Translation: ShamRocks – Go on Home Russian Soldiers! [Ukrainian Patriotic song]

This is a track by ShamRocks, a band based in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, that hurls searing anger at those who trample their homeland.

Over a breakneck Celtic punk sound, a brutally straightforward message is shouted: leave our home immediately.

Released in March 2022, the song distills both the anguish of people whose peaceful everyday lives were stolen and the indomitable spirit that will never yield.

It isn’t just a protest song; it’s the raw cry of hearts suffering under senseless violence.

Through music, it will likely strike deep in the hearts of those who wish to face the realities of the world and find some way to help.

Where have all the flowers gone?Pete Seeger

PETE SEEGER　⑪ Where Have All The Flowers Gone (Live in Sweden 1968)

Flowers are picked by young girls, young men become soldiers, and graves are covered with flowers.

Repeating this sorrowful chain and asking “When will they ever learn?”, this piece was created in 1955 by Pete Seeger, who was also a social activist.

Its gentle acoustic tones, if anything, etch the futility of war and the preciousness of peace even more deeply into the heart.

Sung in Ukrainian as well, it continues to resonate around the world today as a prayer for peace.

Rather than thinking it has nothing to do with us, let’s listen closely to this quiet voice and consider what we can do.

The Bird Song of Kyivukuraina minyō

The Bird Song of Kyiv

This piece has been handed down and sung in Japan ever since the Hokkaido Choir visited Ukraine in 1984.

According to one account, the original is a Ukrainian folk song, depicting a poignant yet beautiful scene in which birds migrating south for the winter carry with them longing for their homeland.

The song has long been cherished as a choral work, but today it is often featured in concerts as a prayer for peace in Ukraine.

I cannot help but feel that the feelings of thinking about loved ones under a distant sky will cross borders and language barriers and reach them.
