Lo-Fi Blog

I can't express how much it meant to us for so many people showing to see our show in Tokyo.

This was actually our first CD release party and to be honest it was nerve racking due to so much trouble that happened on the day and days leading up to the event. BUT with everyone's support the party turned out great. It was heartwarming and inspirational and I was grateful to have so many fans out there along with my favorite artists that came to participate in our event.

I really think that we had so many challenges that would have made the event impossible if it were not for everyone there who pushed us along!

Also for those of you who were truly worried and come up to us to give us advice on the accident,

Yosh got the hospital after the show and had a full scan and there are no complications other than

some neck pain (he got a brace for that). 

I'd like to introduce once again the artists that helped make the event happen!

Haven't been updating my blog for a while now, but after making my own donation
I thought it would be meaningful to spread the word and help out in anyway we can.

Personally I've had bad experiences being badgered by suspicious people asking for donations who take the money nowhere. I've also felt that just donating wasn't enough. That maybe it was just another way to get off feeling guilty or something. But after getting older I've realized that I was being a bit childish.

Now that I have more opportunities to reach out to more people at my concerts or parties etc., I felt the duty of helping people become aware of being more involved in one's community. That community must be very different for many people considering their social background or perspective, but eventually I think everybody will realize that everything is connected and that we are all part of one community.

I feel kinda depressed sometimes when I see the news here in Japan, and have the news caster say in relief "No Japanese were involved in the accident.". I honestly didn't understand what that comment was for. That doesn't change anything. That shouldn't be a relief to anyone when global communities need to support each other to overcome humanities new problems.

Anyway, I'm sure most people have considered donating some money to the relief efforts in Haiti.
It's easy. Holding back on a few movies or nights out, you could probably help save lives.
