Songs For Japan

Songs For Japan, compilation album to benefit Red Cross Relief to Earthquake & Tsunami victims in Japan is doing extremely good. The album includes 38 songs by major artists.

The album was put together regardless of the record labels (Universal Music, Warner, EMI and Sony Music ).

top 10 albums of iTunes StoreThough this album will be available in CD from the beginning of April, iTunes Store has sold so much of it, I’m not sure if people would buy the CD… At iTunes Store, this album is No.1 or very high in the chart in many countries. You can check the latest here. Those countries without this album in their top 10 charts are: Denmark, Finland, Greece, Ireland and Italy. I wonder why.
Apparently, iTunes Store is in 90 countries globally. I wonder what the charts are like in those which are not in this list.

If this wasn’t a charity album, it’s a record company’s wet dream come true.

I just pray for the smooth and quick recovery from this disaster.

This “Song For Japan” was by international artists only. Japanese artists are doing similar things. The ones I saw on TV was by Fuji TV network. It was titled “上を向いて歩こう – うたでひとつになろう日本. Sukiyaki song is originally called 上を向いて歩こう, which translates to something like “Let’s walk with our chin up” and that’s probably why this became the title of the program.

Maybe I’ll post a list of songs that I wanted to listen to, in the time like this.
