Momoiro Clover:
Right now, we don’t know what to do. What the 6 of us can do may be something truly insignificant. But, we will deliver them little by little until the day we can hold a live with everyone with smiles.

K:
(Via K’s father, as K is serving mandatory military service right now)
As I am training in the military, it is disappointing that I cannot make international calls to Japan. I learned about Japan’s biggest earthquake and the widespread damages through the television. My heart aches when I think about how everyone who was affected must feel.
To everyone who have suddenly lost a loved one or to those living in uncertainty because they don’t know if their families are alright, I express my condolences. The aftershocks are still continuing, so I am very worried. I am frustrated that I can only pray that further damages will not be done. I lived in Japan for around 7 years, so I know that Japan and the Japanese citizens have strong mentalities, solidarity, and are caring. I have no doubt you will overcome the sadness as one and rise up again, and I will be cheering for you.
I hear that the weather continues to be cold and there is a lack in heating and food, but please don’t lose your hope and have courage. I will be praying strongly from Korea for everyone who was affected to return to their normal lives quickly.

YUI:
When I think about the situation and sadness that the people in devastated areas are facing, my heart really aches. Until now, I have been supported by meeting many people. I am always truly thankful. I think about the many connections I’ve made through my music and concerts, and I want to meet everyone again with smiles. To reach that goal, I want to work hard and do everything I can right now carefully.
Please be okay everyone, and please let your situations improve.

Rinka:
To be honest, whatever words [I say] feels light to me right now. The only things I can do are to donate and help with charities, but… if there are other things I can do to help, I will commit all my energy into doing it.
==
SHIHO:
Let’s overcome this disaster by uniting everyone’s heart as one and combining all our strengths. I am praying that people in the devastated regions are alright and that reconstruction can be completed quickly.
==
Suzuki Emi:
There have been terrible damages, especially in the Tohoku region, due to the earthquake and tsunami. Let’s support [the victims] by doing what we can, like conserving electricity and not hoarding fuel and food. I am praying that everyone can smile again as soon as possible.
