After leaving Kumamoto I lived in Sapporo for five years and just returned to Kumamoto in April for a few months.I released my second CD called "Atlantic Canada Meets Japan 2" in March. It's a compilation of well-known Japanese songs and Nova Scotian music. You can probably guess from that, that I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada.Until July 1st, I will be donating 500 yen per CD sold for relief to those affected by the awful earthquakes in Kumamoto on April 14th and 16th.I hope that people can relax and feel healed by my music.

The program is in Japanese and looks at the situation in Kumamoto one month after the quakes hit. Hodo Tokushu is one of may favorite Japanese news programs. I mentioned this particular program in a post I made earlier today:https://www.facebook.com/Kumamotoi/posts/1038655949541170I was not aware, however, that it could be viewed on the web until I got a notice from Joha in Vienna!

While it is undoubtably true that many NGOs and volunteer organizations have built upon their experience in previous disasters, this interesting article indicates that the government failed use the 2011 disaster as an occasion to take steps to prepare a centralized and well-organized response for future calamities.Actually, I saw a TV news show yesterday (Hodo Tokushu, TBS) that pointed to the disparity in recovery between the central area of Kumamoto City and the more rural areas of Mashiki and Tateno. Of course, the level of the damage is also different but, even so, the TBS announcer opined that the response seemed to be slower than what he saw in 2011. This may be due in part to lack of preparation at the national level. -- Kirkhttp://www.japantoday.com/category/national/view/u-s-expert-questions-if-japan-applying-2011-lessons-at-kumamotoU.S. expert questions if Japan applying 2011 lessons at Kumamoto
