| According to the twitter of the music producer James Shimoji, composer Kanno Yoko has uploaded her original song for the victims of the massive earthquake which hit the northeastern part of Japan. Kanno's hometown is Miyagi, which is the closest prefecture to the epicenter of the earthquake and was heavily devastated by the tsunami. Kimi de Ite, Buji de Ite (Please be yourself, please be safe, Youtube) Anime song singer Sato Hiromi has been looking for her father, who was in Otsuchi, Iwate when the earthquake and the tsunami hit. More than 10,000 residents in Otsuchi including the town mayor have been unaccounted for. Anime director Daichi Akitaro said 60 of his friends in Iwate have been missing. Mangaka Inoue Takehiko has been drawing his illustrations of smiles and uploading them onto his twitter. Animator Sushio has also been posting his illustrations of Gurren Lagann characters on his twitter. Sources: James Shimoji's twitter, Sato Hiromi's twitter, Daichi Aktaro's twitter |

| ;__; I'm so happy to know she's fine. But I'm also happy to see her doing this. But I'm so concerned about Japan, so you won't be able to see my happiness ;__; |
| Just listened to the song and felt like crying. I'm sure that if pictures of the disaster were posted I would've been balling. This song is very considerate of her to make, it's very touching. Way to go Kanno Yoko! Still praying for everyone in Japan! Wish I could be there to help make a difference :( |
 |
| D'awwwwww!!!! The song! |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Great song, I felt like crying too. That was very nice of her to do and it was very touching. Everyone in Japan is still in my thoughts and prayers, I really hope that things can turn around soon for them. |
| R.I.P those victims and touching song! |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| i heard that news too saying 10000 people are missing and suspected to be buried by the mud of the Tsunamis, this is facking sad, i hope for a speedy recovery for everyone on Japan |
| oh no , i hope those missing people are alright ! i'm praying BTW Kanno Yoko is great singer & now i am starting to like her more |
 |
| More tragic news, and it'll keep on like this for a while... A beautiful song by Kanno. Good luck, Japan. |
| I'm not a religious person so I can't say that I'll be praying... but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all those people who are still missing. Just thinking that I could be one of them sends a shiver down my spine... may the hope be with Japan. Also, I don't like the song... but I believe that it wasn't made for enjoying it - it's like an anthem, whether you like it or not, it's a symbol of something of greater significance. |

| may god help japan to get over with this crisis & great song .. very touching .. i just hope if anyone well uploade it subbed in english =| |
| |

| Hang in there Japan, I know you can ;__; |
| It really is such a horrible tragedy... Hopefully Japan will be able to get back on its feet soon and find the people that are missing |

| (eyes water as song touches heart) I'm so happy that one of my favorite composers did her part. All I can do is just keep the people of Japan in my thoughts and prayers. |
