So why not? Go to www.hearjapan.com and check out some new bands and download a song or so for about two dollars each. Or download a whole album if they're good! Remember 50% of all sales are going to recovery efforts!
If you are someone like me who has found a great thing in Japanese culture, please donate.
And also pray for Japan even if you can't donate.
Every Heart by BoA
English Lyrics How many tears must be shed before every heart can become honest? To whom must we express our feelings so that every heart can no longer feel loneliness?
I was frightened by the long, long nights So I prayed to the distant stars
Round and round in looping time We are searching for love Because we want to become stronger and stronger We still look up to the high skies today
What kind of smile must we come across before every heart can take a step towards its dreams? A person in the face of sadness Every Heart's happiness drifts in slumber
Someday, someday, may all souls find true peace
Round and round in looping time We live and come to understand things At times laughing, sometimes crying We will continue to walk again today
In the corners of my childhood memories There is a warm place, so sweet Where the stars talk of a future That will always sparkle, so shine
Round and round in looping time We are searching for love For we want to grow stronger and stronger We still look up to the high skies today
Round and round in looping time We live and come to understand things At times laughing, sometimes crying, We will continue to walk again today

This blog, "The Otaku Reviewers", was started in February of 2010 on this very same platform, Blogger. At first, it was a venture into the informational and informal world of comics, anime, video games, and Japanese culture. In other words, just a random blog.
Over time, the founder of the blog credited with the pseudonym "RPGhero" was joined by two fellow bloggers and friends with the names "Chansu" and "Deretsun". Together the three bloggers looked up interesting Japanese culture facts, recommended new anime, talked about their own "otaku" interests, and traveled across the United States to various anime conventions.
There have been off periods when the blog ceased production of content and there have been times when there would be dozens of blog posts per week. The schedule varies depending on the lives of the people behind the alias'. However the pattern is that we always get back into the game with even newer information about Japanese culture, anime, video games, and other nerdy hobbies.
The motto of our blog is:
"A cure for your apathy and an inspiration for your dreams. ...Applies to Otaku, anime fans, J-pop junkies, and the like"
The purpose is to blog about cool stuff related solely to anime and otaku stuff. There's no other reason we're doing this.
If you like our blog, please support us in however small a way that you would like. We appreciate our readers!
