However, rewriting a song is no easy work. Because of the language and cultural differences between China and Japan, she spent about a week rewriting the lyrics, incorporating the mood she wanted to instill to others, and making the song understandable to Japanese people.
When she performed the song on the street for the first time, she was very shy and nervous. Fortunately, she had her friends singing together with her.
Some passersby stopped to enjoy the song, while others took photos of a placard that read, "Never lose to the novel coronavirus." "When I saw people listening to us on a cold night and clapping and cheering, I felt a little bit relieved," she said.
Liu Yuxuan, a male singer from northeast China who performed the Chinese song, told Xinhua that he was heartwarmed to watch the video clip of Nakata and others singing on the Tokyo street and praised their excellent version.
"The fight against COVID-19 is now a shared struggle for the whole world," he said. "I hope the Japanese people will boost their confidence and overcome the outbreak at an early date."
Nakata added that she was glad to see China and Japan help each other in the face of COVID-19 and give each other a large amount of medical supplies. What moved her most is the romantic poems printed on the shipments, such as "although we are in different places, we are under the same sky" depicting the long-lasting friendship between China and Japan. In her eyes songs, like poems, convey strength and make people heartened.
