I hope you don’t mind, but I need to ask you for a favour.
We are approaching the second anniversary of the Fukushima disaster, and I decided to write a short instrumental piece and to make a video in order to raise awareness about the problems in Japan, to remind people that they have not simply disappeared: my mum’s over there at the moment and the place is in a terrible state. People are getting very sick. Kids in particular. With heart problems and thyroid problems related to the radiation.
I translated the video into 8 languages and uploaded them to YouTube at the weekend: I'm still working on Chinese and Korean versions.
The Japanese video has now received over 4,000 hits and I am delighted to say that the staff organising the London CND rally in March have asked if they can use the videos to help promote the event... how cool is that?!
Now comes the favour bit… Rupi suggested that it would be a good idea to talk to you because you’re such an influential blogger on Tumblr and because you have a massive audience: I’m just starting out – a real noob – so I will really struggle to get the word out.
But the message is an important one- And if you think it is important too, I would be really grateful if you could mention it to your followers or add one of the links below.
