The project at Yahoo! Kids aims to make children born after the Great East Japan Earthquake aware of the disaster, and to provide them with an experience in which their actions can help support the disaster-stricken areas. Shimazaki's audio advertisements will also be distributed to encourage young people to start disaster prevention by learning about the Great East Japan Earthquake through advertisements. There are two types of audio advertisements: a teaser that will be distributed for two days today, March 9th and 10th, and a limited advertisement on March 11th. Both are available on the free version of Spotify. In addition, a video advertisement with Shimazaki's audio will be distributed on SNS X, Instagram, and Facebook only on March 11th.

Comments also arrived from Shimazaki. ``As a native of Miyagi Prefecture, I am humbled to have been asked to do this narration,'' he said, touching on the length of 15 years, saying, ``Knowing the past is not a scary thing, but rather provides knowledge to protect yourself and the people you care about in the future.Turn the feeling of ``never forget'' into a small action like searching on your smartphone.Let's all connect to the future together.''
