If you've been following the blog... UK artist Gappy Ranks was set to arrive in Japan to start his Japan Tour on March 11th.... well Gappy longside Pierre from Special Delivery did mek it to Japan and was in full excitement when I met dem at the airport on the morning of the 11th. We took a 2 hr travel from the airport to Yokohama and checked in the hotel around 2pm that day... Gappyand Pierre were just settling in and full of smiles because it was their first trip to Japan and they were ready fi work!!!
First thing Gappy bought was Hot Coffee... since its the name of his record label
A few minutes after the first rizzla was rolled and sparked... Japan was hit with the biggest earthquake in Japan's history with a 9.0 magnitude in the north. Dwelling on the 3rd flow of a 17 floor building it swayed back and forth leaving everyone in it holding on to the walls and wondering if its going to stop. Welcome to Japan Gappy Ranks & Pierre!!!
In Yokohama, the earthquake was only a 6 magnitude, still the largest quake I've felt since I've lived here. Both amazed at the size of the earthquake, we waited until the aftershocks were less intense until we ventured outside. Of coarse, worried about my family some 3km away, I decided to hurry back to my apartment to check on my fam since the phones weren't working. Gappy and Pierre wanted to help me out so they came along (biggggg respect!!!).
We couldn't catch a cab at all... so we ended up walking the 3km to my apartment... and luckily my fam was good. Apartment was a little disturbed... similiar when your mom walks in your room and says "what happened?? looks like an earthquake hit it." In actuality.. it did this time.
After checkin the fam... Gappy & Pierre took the trek back to the hotel and advised me to stay with my fam for the night... i obliged. Give thanks again!!! Real yutes mi seh!!!
No one slept much that night... as aftershocks were frequent all night.
