６年目の小高中学校～群青を歌い継ぐ

OurPlanetTV has been attending this elementary and junior high school in Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture, since 2013. After six years of studying in temporary buildings following the nuclear accident, they returned to their original building in Odaka Ward in April 2017. The school has 66 students. At the time of the nuclear accident, these students were in the lower grades of elementary school, and evacuated without fully understanding the disaster, leaving them with only a few memories of Odaka. Even after returning to their original school building, these students continue to sing the choral piece "Gunjo" (Ultramarine), which was written the year after the accident. "Simply returning to Odaka, the town of ultramarine, does not complete the feelings sung in "Gunjo."" This is the sentiment expressed by Principal Araki, a former elementary and junior high school student who was evacuated due to the nuclear accident.
