The news has been breaking my heart everyday… I don’t live there now so I can’t help save the electricity or anything, and this is the least thing I could do as a proud Japanese citizen…
Please help spread the words. Really appreciate your help!
And please, hang in there, for those of you who have been suffering… my thoughts are with you and Japan every second… praying praying praying…

I just had to take a moment here and send all my thoughts out to Japan… what a shocking and devastating news… it broke my heart when I first heard the news and all the photos, videos, news on TV make me tear up. I am praying all day all week… until things get better…
My family is in the south side of Japan so everyone is okay (thank, God) and my friends seem to be okay, too… but I can not imagine how horrifying that is and how worried people are if their families and friends are missing… and that hurts me to even think about that…
I am going to donate funds at Red Cross. I wish I could do more. Stay strong, Japan!!!
