- A Song For Japan
by Steven Verhelst
10 years ago today Japan experienced the most powerful earthquake in the nation's history. In response The United States military launched Operation Tomodachi which mobilized 24,500 service members at its peak including members of the USARJ Band at the time. The purpose was to help our host nation Japan recover in the Tohoku region from the earthquake along with the ensuing tsunami. In remembrance of this event a composer by the name of Steven Verhelst decided to create a musical project (link below) in order to show his support for all that occurred. Please enjoy our rendition of "A Song For Japan."
日本の皆さまこんにちは。まもなく東日本大震災１０年目を迎えます。
10年前、在日米陸軍は日本の皆様と共に立ち上がりました。そして今日もなお我々は誇りを持ちつつ皆様と共に復興を目指し立ち向かってい ます。
そして、私たちは今も尚、東北にいる仲間達を忘れていません。
10周年という節目の年へ敬意を表し、在日米陸軍軍楽隊が ステーヴン・フェルヘルスト作曲 "日本に捧ぐ歌"を演奏させていただきます。
どうぞお聴きください

Fastest slides in the East, Bravo!
Thanks. Anytime that I hear "Song for Japan", I listen for the longest time to the other UA-cam suggestions for the same. I hope you all can find trombone players willing to perform it with you after your military career.
ありがとう🎉
Japan is such a beautiful and wonderful country I will stand to defend japan with my life
ありがとう
Super
Great sounds!
Absolutely beautiful
My father served with the 293rd Army Band in Tokyo back in the early 1950s. That's where he met and married my mother. He would tell me about concerts given in the Ernie Pyle theatre and how he loved doing it. I have a CD of Johnny Watson and the Kampai Kings (members of the 293rd) with my father playing and singing on it. It's been 9 months since he passed but hearing his voice in the mix still makes my daughters cry. I use one of their songs "Moshi Moshi" as a ringtone.
This trombone piece is a beautiful composition and skilfully performed. Thank you Sergeants.
The best recording I've heard of this! Fantastic work!!
Thank you so much. The USARJ Band is still performing this in Japan, and we just had a concert where the bass trombonist in this video played it as a tenor solo with full band in Ofunato, a city destroyed by the tsunami in 2011. We're so glad you enjoyed this.
I'm just now seeing this comment a year on, but thank you for the kind words. This was easily the most rewarding project I've been able to work on in my time in the military. I'd give a kidney to have these three gentlemen with me at every duty station!
I appreciate your amazing performance.
