Good evening. This afternoon, the band were able to make contact with the last of their family members. To everyone who worried for us, thank you very much.

In addition, we had a meeting. After our talks with the four of us as well as staff, we came to the conclusion to save our strength. The time when the band and our music can be useful will surely come later. And when it does, we’ll have a great performance waiting for you.

An acquaintance of mine from Zankyo Records who was in one of the disaster areas in Iwate is worried that there isn’t enough information on the news about the essential items that people over in those areas are in need of.

So, I just wrote these down as I watched TV. I think it was Mr. Haga from Minamisanriku’s Board of Education who listed these. Of course, it’s safe to assume these aren’t limited only to Minamisanriku. Items they have a lack of at the affected areas:

• Candles and flashlights
• Blankets and oil heaters, etc, things to warm oneself up with
• Food and water

I didn’t write these down for my sake, I just wanted to put this list somewhere where at least a few more people would see it.

I’ll do what I can tomorrow as well. I have a photo shoot. Today, too, I’m praying for more lives to be saved.
