ayu's TA Diary [12.03.2011] "Guys."
 

I had to somehow let everybody know this message from ayu.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

「How are you getting through it?

It's so scary. We're so worried, we can't bear it. We're shaking.

It's okay not to force yourself to say I'm fine. It's fine to cry just because you want to.

Even myself, with the images in the television display a scene too cruel, my tears didn't stop.

For sure, the yesterday that everyone thought would be spent so usually, turned into a nightmare in one moment.

Furthermore, it was right infront of us.
Without being able to do anything.
Without being able to do anything else but stare.

Even now, the pictures that the news is transmitting are so painful. So, so painful.

But...

After that's finished, don't you want to try and take a deep breath and raise our heads together?

Now, when it seems that everything has settled for the moment.

But, now is not the end, because it starts from today, that much we all understand.

The Japan which has received so much damage.
The Japan which has been hurt, and is in tatters.
Our country, which has been engraved with an endless sorrow.

Why don't we all, together, continue to heal those wounds, no matter how long it takes, without giving up until the end?

It's okay to take little steps, and it's okay if we're not perfect, and it's okay to make mistakes, because the important thing is not to give up.

Believe that if it's us, we can definitely do it.

March 11th, 2011... I won't forget.」
