This is ridicilous. One of the towns in Southern Serbia donated $10 000 to the Red Cross of Japan, here that's a lot of money, compared to those 7 000 000 yen it prolly doesn't seem that much, but it will still help someone. Imagine how will less known people who don't have such "deep" pockets feel when they want to donate only a couple of hundreds or thousands of dollars after seeing people being judged this way. Any help should be more than welcome and everyone should donate as much as they can or think it's appropriate, as this indeed isn't a race.
And until there are actual facts and numbers on the donations everything's mare speculation. I think Ayu was right not to announce the exact numbers and the Korean guy announcing it only means that he wants more publicity.
