Please take a look around.

Hi
thanks for visiting this blog ,
I want to make this a hub for news and links relating to our small effort to donate a little money towards the recovery process in Japan following the major Earthquake and Tsunami earlier this year .
I hope that it will explain how and why myself , my band Longstone and some of our talented friends teamed up to produce a CD to raise some money to help the survivors. We chose to donate this to a small project in the town of Onagawa . ( Onagawa town information from Wikipedia )
My previous post links to some harrowing videos showing the terrible destruction in Onagawa.
The other pages on this blog and other sites I have linked to in the side bar on the right help to explain more about the damage , the project we are donating to and the CD .
Please check out these links and explore the sites.
I would especially like to draw your attention to the Monchicamera links , one in Japanese the other is an English translation. If you have time please try to read the English blog in date order from the earliest entry .
thanks very much
Mike

Disturbing footage

This video shows the very disturbing destructive power of the March 11th tsunami as it causes unbelievable damage to the town of Onagawa 


This video shows how the town is dragged back out to sea as the wave recedes while the survivors can only stand and watch.
