Japan Devastated by Earthquake & Tsunami

I’m sure everyone would have heard about this piece of news by now that Japan was hit by a mega earthquake of magnitute 8.9 this afternoon. The destruction was then followed by a horrific tsunami that measured as tall as 10 meters high that swept away people and properties. Many regions of Japan have been affected and some of the regions worse affected includ Sendai, Miyagi, Fukushima, Chiba and Tokyo prefecture.

My heart goes out to all our dear comrades that is living in Japan. Even though phone lines were jammed, thankfully information still managed to flow out via the various social media such as twitter, facebook and uStream, so everyone was able to make sure that their loved ones and friends were sound and safe.

I was really worried about my dear Tomochin but I’m relieved to say that all the members of AKB48, SKE48, SDN48 are sound and safe. The AFA organisers have also confirmed that JAM Project, angela, SCANDAL, Flow are all safe via various channel.

All we can do now is hope that Japan will be spared from any further quakes, and hope that all our fellow comrades in Japan stay strong together to overcome this challenging situation.

    if i am not wrong, tomochin was overseas.. guam?? and should be safe from the earthquake.. but not sure about the tsunami that might or might not hit guam.

    death toll is high.. missing motto high.. T_T

    but the Japanese has strong spirits and won’t die so easily.

    Nihon.. Gambatte.

  4. I can’t help myself but get teary-eyed when I saw the tsunami creeping all over that farmland. When I saw the cars trying to get away only to get caught by the giant wave, I can’t help but imagine the fate of the driver and the passengers.

    My prayers go to Japan. If I can I will donate some stuff.

    For all the news I have been following. After the earthquake struck, they only had 30 mins to evacuate before the tsunami came…

    Earthquake, tsunami, nuclear power plant leak..

    And this came up a lot in twitter
    -USGS “Earth’s axis has shifted 10 inches as a result of the quake. Japan’s coastline has permanently shifted 2.4 meters.”-

    My heart just sunk seeing all of this happened. To the unlucky ones..but I really want to believe Japan would be able to get through this.

    To seiyuu, idols, comedians, the citizens and their family and so on, I pray for all in Japan. May God be with them.
