Welcome to the Japanagos Channel, my name is Chika.
It is March 11th, 2014. Here is Japan,
it has been three years since the Great East Japan Earthquake,
as you can see I've been leading a very
normal life. I was barely affected by the earthquake
I mean I was here for it, I was in Tokyo.
A lot of people here I think are back to their normal lives
but even after three years, there are lots of people
in Tohoku area who are still suffering
from the losses and damage from the earthquake
And for us, you know
that got back to normal, it's hard to
always keep in mind that there is something going on like that
elsewhere, because what you tend to recognize
is usually limited to what you can see but just because
it's not happening around you, doesn't mean that is not happening elsewhere. And uh,
it is unfortunate that it takes,
you know, it being March 11th for us
to be reminded of it when we should be reminded of it
everyday but you know, that's kind of what reality is.
And today, I wanna take this opportunity to ask you guys watching
to do a small favor, I mean only take 2 seconds
maybe a second. Please go to the Yahoo Japan website,
that's www. yahoo.co.jp
during March 11th, Japan time and
search 3.11. For
person that searches the keyword 3.11.
Yahoo Japan is donating 10 yen
to the relief efforts of the Great East Japan Earthquake,
so if you can just take second of a day
to do that, please do so. If you can't go the Yahoo Japan website
and I think there's a button at the bottom, let's you click which country to go to.
So just if you just wanna contribute a little bit
to the relief efforts, just a small favor.
it's one thing to take a moment of silence and to recognize it in your
heart
to keep you give your condolences to those people
that are
suffering but another thing to take that recognition
and turn it into action and actually help out.
I think it's a wonderful thing and Japan is doing something to share that
with you guys and ask you guys
to search 3.11 at Yahoo Japan.
Thank you guys for watching and I'll see you guys again soon. Bye.
