I don't know how to express my thanks to all my friends who are worried about
this situation and tried to contact with me not only within the country but
also even from abroad.
Let me inform that I am fine, and Tokyo where I live is Okay except chaos
and confusion by cutting off of electricity alternately, and anxiety of
atomic power plant.
I also want to say that we can never thank enough to the whole world,
whose pray, relief and donation are so helpfull and heartful. I now clearly
see the world is together here now, this is more than anything and I am so
moved this strong bonds of support by many countries, and we will never
forget this gratitude.
Tens of thousand of people are evacuated.
It is snow in way up North-East,even in middle of March,
must be freezing with shortage of blanket,
they are starving because of shortage of foods,
shortage of fuel,
shortage of light, medical items, water,. . .
yes, everything is insufficient, much less than their needs.
There are tons of people who are still looking for their loved ones,
some of them can find the ones but some of them cannot. . .
I've been seeing so many sad and sorrowful stories, since last friday.
Believe it or not, this tragedy is happening in this real world right here.
I just cannot stop praying to let them have the courage
to be able to recover what was destroyed
to be able to take back what was lost
to be able to accept what was gone forever.
to be able to cure big scars in their hearts.
to be able to look ahead for finding the way for tomorrow,
may they never look back, give them big strong power.
They are struggling to live through this hard situation sturdily and they cooperate and help each other, although they are in the depth of despair by suffering from this horrible disaster.
However It is so admirable, and I am so proud of being Japanese, by seeing their honorable bearing.
We are trying to do the best we can
we are trying to do as much as possibleー
still we also need your help
in order to back them up.
Many warm relief will be a great step for Japan to rise up again ,and must
be a great hope to whom are most in need.
and in case, to find your loved ones' safe in this North Eastern earthquake
disaster.
