    How can we remember the issue of Japanese military “comfort women”? Talking about an issue involves the processes of embracing it as one's own, facing it, and contemplating on it. In December 2019, a compilation album [Tell the Story - The Third Compilation of Songs] commemorating the Japanese military “comfort women” victims was released with the participation of about 30 musicians.
