Migrant Workers in Japan Sing ‘We are the World’
On March 7, about 400 people gathered at Tokyo’s Hibiya Park for the annual March in March rally. Despite the rain, migrant workers from more than 15 countries such as Brazil, Peru, China, South Korea, Uzbekistan, the Philippines, Nepal, Indonesia, Senegal and the United States joined the event for the rights of foreign workers. The Japanese supporters sang and danced to Japan’s native Inu tribe and Okinawan music. A Japanese singer, Moeyan, led all the participants to sing “We are the World.” They danced to a samba rhythm and shared joys of being a part of multinational, multicultural society.
