J-rock Artists - Helping Hands

J-rock Artists - Helping Hands

With Japan in the crisis that is currently going on, our artists are doing their very best to help.

As you know, Gackt started a fund. Yoshiki is auctioning off his famous piano to donate the money to Japan. T.M.Revolution holds a charity live. Dear Loving donated their event earnings to earthquake relief efforts. There's much people helping in one way or another.

Another example is Hiyori, the bassist of Kiryu. He's not holding an event to donate any money, but he is definitely trying to help. In his blog, he has talked about members about two other bands - Kaito from Wizard and takafumi from MoNoLith. Why? They can't get hold of their families, and Hiyori is asking everyone to help them. He has written the following messages:

>Tohoku band MoNoLith’s Takafumi currently hasn’t found his mother. Please spread this news around! [Spread this news please] We haven’t been able to make contact with Konno Keiko (紺野慶子) of Namie city in Futaba district of Fukushima prefecture. If you know that she is safe, please let us know. When I went to Namie for information, I asked her co-worker Suzuki and they said that her last known whereabouts were on the 11th at 16:30 at Minamisoma city in Odaka district of Fukushima prefecture. Please send this out through Twitter, mixi or anywhere. > My dad, grandmother, little sister and Toki are all safe.>

>Wizard’s vocalist kaito has not heard if his family is safe or not. Here is the information from kaito’s blog >————-> I still haven’t heard about the safety of my family. Please post this on Twitter or if you want to blog it or send a mail magazine that’s okay too. Just please send this out. [Please send this] I haven’t been able to reach Saito Yasuhiro (齊藤康博), Saito Mayumi (齊藤まゆみ) or Torii Shiho (鳥居志穂) and I don’t know if they’re safe, they live in Yamada city and Kawamukai city in Iwate prefecture. They’re both my parents and my little sister. People who are taking refuge in Yamada city, please let me know if my family is safe. Please. [Wizard kaito]>

It's really moving to see them all wanting to help so much, isn't it?

    "The National Police Agency announced on March 17 that it will be posting on its website the names, ages, sexes and addresses of those who have been confirmed to have died in the disaster. Miyagi Prefecture has put a search function on its website for the names of people at the around 1,200 evacuation shelters within the prefecture." --Mainichi Daily News

    Someone post this so they can see it if they have not found their family members yet (in Japanese) ): Though maybe they have seen this announcement already, but if not...

    He's so sweet...It's saddening that people still aren't able to reach their family. I hope those people are at least safe.

    I re-posted this in many of the forums I go to. Many are frequented by Japanese people, some with family in those places mentioned. I will pray.
