The followings are IL DIVO videos in Japan.


Quality is not good. But they are better than nothing.

I watched the Royal Wedding on TV. It was so delightful event that I could feel happy at least temporarily. Recently we’ve had gloomy news only.

Naomi-san, one of my IL DIVO fan friends, informed me of the Charity concert.
The following is the email from Naomi-san.

There will be a charity concert for the victims of earthquake and tsunami

I found NPO,”Search and rescue dog Network”. Dogs worked in the devastated area. Unfortunately the number of rescued people was very small this time. Because most of victims got drowned by tsunami. The dogs found some bodies under the rubble. I’d like to support their activity.

Nuclear power plants still have problems. That’s true. Not a few non-Japanese went to their home countries. However there are 120 millions people living in Japan. Unsafe area is NOT all over Japan. I hope people will come back here.

In Japan, it’s getting warmer and warmer. I don’t use heater in daytime. We don’t need a lot of electricity for heating, so scheduled electric power outage will not be underway in April and May. In Tokyo, cherry blossoms are in full bloom. There are less people who enjoy cherry blossom viewing than usual. Many Japanese don’t feel like having fun because we do feel sorry for victims of the earthquake and tsunami. I took this photo at the building located five minutes’ walk from my place.

Experts on nuclear plants are saying that the problem will last at least a few months. What we can do is just to pray for the end of the problem, conserving energy. Now I’m in my hometown not in Tokyo. Here we don’t have planned blackout. At supermarkets, there are more kinds of food than in Tokyo. But some trains are cancelled because maintenance parts of the trains haven’t been delivered yet. That is a logistic issue.

I’m here to attend the memorial ceremony for my grandmother, not to evacuate. Tomorrow I’m coming to Tokyo. We general people have no way to solve the nuclear problem. So we have to wait patiently, breathing, drinking and eating a bit contaminated air, water and food.
