Kizuna

The year 2011 will be over soon. There are too many natural disasters, revolutions and problems in the world this year. For Japanese, 311 was a turning point to re-think about our lives. What is the life? What is the happiness? What should we do now for the future generations?

At the same time, we really re-realize the importance on "Kizuna (humans ties/bonds)". People have supported each other. People from the world have helped and cheered us. I really appreciate all of your supports for Japan. "Kizuna" in the world have helped people.

Hope 2012 will be a peaceful and happy year. I wish all of you a Happy New Year.
