Memorandum
I was at the Station Square at 14:46, just after the 9 years from the quake. In this recording, you can hear the soundscape from 14:45:45 to 14:47:15.
The event called "candle night" was cancelled because of the effect of COVID-19 (right photo). Therefore, PA systems like last year were not installed in this square, so there was no sound signal to notify the time was 14:46.
About 5 people in this square were offering silent prayers.
A crow was cawing as if he knew March 11 14:46.
A huge display installed at the wall of Nakago Department Store was broadcasting the commercial short videos, even at 14:46.
