I left Tokyo one week before any of this madness occurred and I am fortunate I did. I feel sorry for all who have been affected by this tragedy and I regret that I could not help as much as I could normally. I just hope that things begin to return to normal soon and that the current threats are reduced to some degree of normality.
My old University is currently taking donations for the Red Cross to help the relief effort in Japan, please show Japan your generosity in this time of extreme hardship. They appreciate every cent. (see link below)

Even if you cannot donate please pray for the Japanese and that this will all end soon so that people can get on with their lives.
I love you Japan.

ReplyDeleteI am a half Japanese, half-American composer and artist that resides in Indiana. After hearing the devastated news of the earth quake, flood, nuclear radiation etc. I created a video with my composition "Aria" to send hope to my home land and the people.

Please take a look. And if you do, thank you for your time in doing so.

ReplyDeleteHi ^^
ReplyDeleteYou were lucky if you left just before it happens ^^
I would like to know if the readers of this blog are interested in writing about the way they have personnally experienced the Northeastern Japan Earthquake (if you know people who have experienced the earthquake in Japan, it'd be great if you coud let him/her know about this).
Tokyo Room Finder Short Essay Contest is an online project to gather heart-warming experiences following the earthquake in Japan. We strongly believe that sharing those experiences will give people hope and revitalize Japan.
We also offer 2 tickets for Tokyo Disney Resort to each of the winners.
