To everyone who were affected by the earthquake,
I give you my deepest condolences and sympathies from the bottom of my heart.

It's me, Sakurai.

It has been a few days since that earthquake.

I'll write down the details from that time until today.

At that time,
I was in sa photoshoot in Kawasaki.

Kawasaki also felt the shake.
and the photoshoot was suspended for a while.

I went back to the dressing room and saw the pictures on the tv. I became speechless.
It was still shaking when I was watching.
The filming has ended and I left by 5pm.

I was able to get home safely.

That's how my Friday went.
I confirmed the safety of the other members. I was watching the news the whole time.

The whole time.
I always checked on the news

Always.
I always checked on the news.

Sunday evening.
I wasn't able to stop my tears from flowing.

The next morning.
My eyes were swollen.

To everyone who were able to watch ZERO last Monday,
I'm sorry to let you worry.

The next day,
The five of us met for the first time since the earthquake.
Everyone was safe.

Honestly...
I felt relieved when I saw everyone's face.

We filmed our regular programs.

By the time that this is broadcasted,
I hope that our little smiles will reach everyone nationwide...
I think that's what we've put into.

As I'm writing this now,
I turn on my tv for the sake of getting information.

I'm depressed.

I haven't turned on my heater. I'm wearing my sweater and coat instead.

It's cold.
But,
compared to the others, suffering, "It's not dark," "It's not cold."

Conservation of energy...
for the sake of avoiding a large-scale blackout.

This is what I can do for now.

Well then,
to everyone in the affected areas,
to everyone in the emergency locations,
to everyone in their homes,
to everyone who volunteers to give assistance,
to all the families
and then.
to everyone who's still worried up to now,

everyday...everyday...
I care for you. I support you.

"Do your best"

I hear that there are some people who do not like these words.

"Stand firmly, stay strong."

Now is the time.
Let's unite our strengths.
