Johnny & Associates Members Leave Messages Regarding The Disaster: Part 3

This is part 3 or 3 of the messages left by artists under Johnny & Associates.

<Shonentai>
Our sincerest sympathies go out to those who were affected by this earthquake.

Even though we see and come to know the extent of the damage through the news, it’s still really difficult to believe and it just breaks our hearts.

Fans have been concerned about our safety, but when the earthquake first broke out we were in Osaka and Tokyo doing theatre performances. We could really feel the tremors, but the three of us are blessed to be safe.

We pray that the damage doesn’t get any worse than it already is. For those who were affected by the disaster, don’t throw away your hope, we believe that you will be able to smile again. Please weather these difficulties with your family and friends. And, live!  We’re also going to be supporting you as much as we can.

For those who read this message, let’s be proactive and do what we can now, like conserve electricity.

When we all help out with little things one-by-one, it will definitely turn into a big help.

Let’s all work together and do our best to help out in our own areas!

It really pains my heart to know the extent of the damage.
A lot of people are having uneasy and painful days.
As a person of this nation, I’m thinking about things I can do to help now.
Everyone, let’s do things here and do things like conserve electricity.
And, let’s work together and do our best so that we can begin restoring the area someday soon.
Those affected by the disaster have my heartfelt sympathies.

What is something good to write right now? Honestly, I don’t know.

I never thought an earthquake like that could happen. When I heard the news, I was full of sadness and my heart dropped.
When I think about the area of the disaster, I feel really worried and I don’t know what to say.

The words won’t come out right now….
I hope that everything can be returned to how it was someday soon and I pray for the victims of the disaster to be safe.

And the things we can do now are: conserve electricity and water and don’t use the phone unless it’s an emergency.
It can be great if we all think about that and work together so that someday soon that place can be restored back to how it previously was.

How much anxiety must the people who were affected by the earthquake be facing?…It makes my heart ache. I pray that that area can be restored someday soon. We can do things that may seem a bit small. Let’s do things like conserve electricity and water. I’m sending out my sincerest prayers. Everyone, it’s difficult, but please do your best.

There are a lot of people who were affected by the large earthquake.
Everyone, are you okay?

I’m really worried.

It pains my heart to see the reports on TV and in the newspapers.

I’m in the middle of theatre performances in Osaka, so I don’t have any injuries and am fine.

Thank you so much for those who were concerned for me.

Right now, the only thing I can do is do my best on stage.

I believe that each person coming to the theatre has various thoughts on their mind.
Perhaps, there are some people who aren’t able to come to the theatres due to circumstances.

For those people as well

It’s what I can work my hardest at and I’ll devote myself to this play!

This is the greatest task I can do right now!
I think that and then I stand on stage every day.

I’ll do my very best on stage until the last day so that I can make you guys feel even just a little bit better.

Right now there are a lot of areas that have to conserve electricity.
Everyone, if you all work together it should be very useful.
Let’s climb over this together by working with each other during these times.

I’m really really sending my most heartfelt prayers for everyone and everyone’s family and friends.

I saw the news and saw the tragic things that happened, it makes me really worried. Are you all okay? We’re all doing our best so we can be even just a little bit helpful.  Everyone, please do your best and stick it out until the end during these harsh times.
Let’s do what we can right now.
I pray from the bottom of my heart that everyone’s precious family and friends are safe.
