B3. The Japanese anti-nuclear anthem (lyrics 浅田石二 / Ishiji Asada), sung in Japanese as a bass solo by ensemble member チャン・チュン・ヒイウ (Trần Trung Hiếu) at the 25 December 1968 Tokyo concert. Not a Vietnam War song in content; included as a North Vietnamese ensemble's performance at a Vietnam-solidarity concert - see flag.
