So, it's all over the news. But, if you haven't heard, NorthEastern Japan was hit by an 8.9 earthquake yesterday and then a tsunami took over. So far, thousands are thought to have perished and thousands more are missing.
This affects TheOtaku in a great way. I mean, if it weren't for the Japanese, there would be no anime, and with no anime, no inspiration for TheOtaku.com!
This disaster has also hit me personally. I have a friend who's going to Japan for a year starting this summer. I'd be so devastated if anything happened to her. She's such a good friend, y'know?
But, also, my Japanese teacher has friends and family overseas. Her family is okay, she's heard from them. They live the southern part of the island, but I think she has a friend she hasn't yet heard from near Tokyo. They won't hear anything until the power comes back up...
In any case, I'm thinking about opening up commissions and donating 100% of what I receive to the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief Fund. [LINK]
Would you guys be seriously interested in helping me out?
Every penny counts at a time like this. What better reason for the Otaku Community to come together?
If you're unable to help, could you at least help spread the word that I'm willing to draw for money for Japan? Just make a journal post here or on dA, or wherever and proved a link back to my Journal. I'll be starting a list of things to buy soon and probably start a new WORLD for this as well.
I just wanna know if anyone's interested?
