PHOTO of the DAY (JAPAN)

Members of the Ushio-kai youth drumming club play Japanese taiko drums in Naraha, Fukushima Prefecture in this recent photo. They had been scheduled to hold a graduation concert in the town in March, but they could not do so because their town was designated as an evacuation zone following the outbreak of the Fukushima nuclear crisis. They plan to get together in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward and hold a concert on July 18, four months after their original plan. (Photo courtesy of Ushio-kai)
