Info, News, Links and Comments Post re: Japan Earthquake
As all of you probably know by now, Japan has been severely damaged by powerful earthquakes, the worst being yesterday at magnitude 8.9. Sendai and its neighboring areas have also been affected by resulting tsunamis, as you might have seen in pictures, videos and news reports.
Here are some info and links you might find useful if you want to update yourself. Links here include news posts, streaming sites of Japanese news channels, earthquake monitoring sites and donation links in case you want to extend your help. Fandom links are included, too.
We also open this post to any commenters (members, non-members, anonymous people) so that you can leave your wishes of safety and well-being to our producers, singers, dancers, musicians, and generally everyone having a difficult time in Japan. Feel free to leave messages below in both English and Japanese. We'll be linking this site in twitter and other social networks so they might be read.
We also welcome additional information as well as other links that we could add to this list. Thank you.

asamidori, as mentioned in this post. Our moderator
stephieku also edits that document, so please tell her if you have any info, e.g., if someone in the unconfirmed list has been confirmed safe or someone who is still missing is not in the list. Please make sure you have proof like twitter links, just to be safe and sure.
