These picture, this moment touched me the most… Satoshi Komiyama, head of Flippers Japan and organizer of Friday night’s Flash Mob Action in Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo that Ric and the Dolphin Team attended by invitation from Satoshi, went into the water, ducked his head under, and broke down because he could hear the dolphins cry.  He got out of the water, and Ric consoled him.  Everyone on the beach broke into tears.  (Ric’s nobori banner says “Save Japan Dolphins” in Japanese.)  Photos by Daniela Moreno.
