An old man ,who was rescued after being trapped in a house for 42 hours,
said with a smile, “We’ve experienced the Chile tunami. We should be all right.
Let’s rebuild our town one more time.”
What‘s important is what we are going to do from now on.
When making my four-hour journey home, I saw a woman holding a sign which said,
“Bathroom available.” , offering her home restroom for people walking home on foot to
use. There are more warm-hearted people in Japan than anywhere else.
What she was doing moved me greatly and made me cry.
My two year old san was trying to put his shoes on and go out all by himself. He goes,
“I’ll go arrest the earthquake!!”
The courage and sense of justice in his small body gave
me strength. Cheer up, all. We can make it.
saw little children saying to the station attendant,
“Thank you very much for the great effort you made to run the train yesterday.”
The station attendant was crying.
I found myself crying even harder.
My father is going to be dispatched to help with the incident at the N-plant inFukushima.
I felt like crying when I heard that he, who is to retire in 6 months, volunteered to do so.
“The future of nuclear power plants depends on how we deal with this problem now.
I go with a sense of responsibility.”
I have never been so proud of him before as he doesn’t show any initiative while home. I
pray that he will be home safe and sound.
A child was in a line to pay for candy, but when his turn came closer, he was deep in
thought looking at the cash register, then he put the money in the donation box next to
it and left the store ,putting the candy back on the shelf where it had been before.
As the cashier thanked the departing child, his voice was shaking
hough I kept walking for many hours, I was moved to see that there were a lot of
buildings and restaurants with signs saying “washroom available” or “you can rest
here.”I was about to cry when I saw someone from an office building volunteering to call
out messages like, “――line has resumed operation.” , or “You can rest here.”
Japan is not so bad after all.

Japan is tough. The blood donation facility in Namba, Osaka was full of people waiting
n line for their turn to donate blood for those in the disaster area where the great
earthquake struck.
I’ve never seen such an unselfish line before. I was so moved.
People in the disaster area, please do not give up. We will share your hardship. We are
here for you
n the supermarket where goods were scattered all over the floor, people picked up
things fallen from the shelves dutifully, lined up quietly and paid for the goods
When the trains resumed operating, on one crowded train, an elderly man gave up his
seat to a pregnant woman. It’s said that to see such scenes, foreign people were
speechless. I guess the story’s true. Japan’s great, isn’t it?
I think if I send an e-mail to my husband how never sleep and say
It will be alright?
He would say
Don't give me that shit.
I'm JSDF(japanese selfdefence force).
We will do what ever we have to do now.
Watch what you say.
They are tough, in body and in mind
In front of the donation box, the boy of preschool age and his mother were talking.
The mother said, “Are you sure? You’ve been saving it, haven’t you?”
The boy said, “3DS can wait. The money can help people in the disaster
area to build their houses.” And he donated as much as 5,000 yen
out of a little paper bag of his otoshidama, new-year gift money.
When his mother said, “Good boy. Now they don’t have to stay in cold.
” The boy started to cry hard instead of himself. Behind them, I was crying
even harder.
My parents live in Ibaragi prefecture. When I suggested that they
come and live with us in Minamibousou, Chiba , I was scolded.
My father said, “I can’t do that. Even those who have suffered
heavier damage haven’t evacuated. I don’t mind visiting you
once the reconstruction has completed. Do whatever you can do
.” I’m proud of him..”
I'll tell my children and grandchildren someday in the future,
When grandma was young, there was mega earthquake disaster in east Japan,
and the world came together as one to help Japan.
2011.3.11 世界最大級の大地震が日本を襲いました。。
多くの方が犠牲となり、今もまだ行方不明の方が多数いらっしゃいます。
被災地ではまだまだ混乱や不安が多く残っています。
On March.11.2011, A mega earthquake hit Japan.
水や食料が足りない。
暖かい毛布が・・燃料が・・
あらゆる物が不足していると聞きます。
そんな中で今私達が出来る事はなんなのか・・
here is not enogh water and food, fuel.
I hear that.
What can we do for them?
歌手の松山千春さんはこう言いました。
Singer song writer "Chiharu Matsuyama"said like this,
知恵があるやつは知恵をだそう。
力がある奴は力をだそう。
金のあるやつは金をだそう。
The somebody having knowridge give the knowridge,
The somebody having power will give the power,
The somebody having the money will give the money.
『自分は何にも出せないよ・・』 っていう奴は元気出せ!
"I can't give anything" that's all right.
It's just cheer up yourself !
今私達が出来る事・・
What can we do,,,
それは祈る事だけじゃない気がします・・
Can we do more than just pray.
日本人みんながそれぞれ出来る事を精一杯に・・
それこそが求められているように思います。
It's a that we can do,
All the Japanese people will do what is demanded of them.
今こそ世界に見せてやろうよ!
We'll show the world
俺達・・日本人の底力を!
The real ability of the Japanese. Here we are "Samurai Japan"
