I don't leave in the none of the affected areas.No,i don't live in Japan!But i'm still affected by this.I'm still crying when watching interviews and various footage from the affected areas.You don't have to live there to be affected.And crying my eyes out then and SINCE then,doesn't mean that i'm crazy,maybe just that i'm human.We went to some pretty ugly stuff here a few years ago as well and maybe i can relate.Even if not,if you have a heart you will be affected.
あなたのビデオはとてもいいです!You are doing a wonderful job at making these videos and letting the voices of the people be heard. I didn't understand everything that was said but I did catch many words and phrases that I have been studying! がんばって日本!ひろこさん、ありがとうございます。
@helloitsjustmenow Don't make too much of a thumbs down. I often click the thumbs down by mistake, or because my computer delays responding to a click for so long, that when it finally does respond, I have moved on, & where I click is where the thumbs down was before I moved the page. Thankfully, a thumbs down can be undone by clicking the thumbs up. 8 )
Hiroko-chan. Thank you for being an incredible person. although, in your case Im sure its not a case of needing to be thanked for your good deeds. Rather it is a simple code of behavior, a principal, a style of living that benefits everyone. I am Honored to know you. well at least on youtube anyway ^_^
Hello Hiroko! I think what you are doing is really great and i watch all of your videos even if i cant understand Japanese fully. But i like to know whats going on. Here in Sweden news about how it is in Japan now as stopped. If i want to find news about the situation in Japan i have to check other countrys news site. I want to help more but all i can do is to keep sending money and volunteer work to raise dontations here in Sweden. Take care! Gambare!
@tobco79 No particular reason...except I was there with the news crew the day after Tsunami hit, and felt the needs to keep delivering the voices of those who are living in this situation and feel "forgotten" and hopeless.
You've written the best answer! It is a very good way for the people who are still there and who are probably thinking that the world has forgotten them! Please tell everyone that I will never forget them and that my thoughts are with them every day!
@HIROKOCHANNEL I had the same reaction... that lady does indeed seem to speak exceptionally clearly. Plus, it's always good to feel one's listening skills are definitely improving!
I want everyone to understand that I'm doing my best uploading this video and add the caption. I'm not getting paid but with the limited time and resource I go up and film and edit and upload, and someone helps me with the translation and adding them in the time code takes a long time. And the priority is of course for Japanese people to watch, and the people who were filmed to know they aren't forgotten.
@BahamutDKing 2-3 more months before they can move to temp housing but then they have to start paying for water and electricity, and those who can't afford go back/stay in the evacuation center...so it will take a long time before they can start living like before.
@HIROKOCHANNEL awww its ok Hiroko chan, we all your doing your best for us to see japan's world and take a rest if its getting to much ^.^ none of us would wanna see you get over-tired and do something silly
Live....sorry,typo :(

過去の震災のときと何も変わらず全く同じだね。震災直後は自分探しのボランティアが殺到する。手ぶらで来るから現地の水や食料を消費し、ゴミを残し、今回の震災では問題になっていないのかもしれないが、トイレ問題というのもある。そして、被害者の被害者意識の強さからくるボランティアとの摩擦。
と、いう事はヒロコさんの今回の取材も生かされずに次に震災でも同じ事が繰り返されるという事。次の震災ではまた次の世代の自分探しボランティアが殺到し、同じ問題を残す。何が言いたいかというと、過去の震災でもヒロコさんと同じ事をした人達は沢山いる。でもまた同じ事をしている。脱力感があるんだよね。

@silentplummet 被災地に行けばそれがボランティアだと思うのなら行かない方が良い。自分も含め過去の震災を見てきているものが何故安易に現地に行かずに募金だけをしているのか?人間的に冷たいからじゃない。
震災時には食料、水、調理用のガスがなく、下水も破壊されているためにトイレも無く、くみ取りの仮設トイレしかない。まさにそこが震災の核心なのだが、手ぶらで来る素人ボランティアが被災地で食料や水を買い尽くし、仮設トイレを溢れさせ、ゴミを残して帰る。じゃあ彼らが仮設トイレのくみ取りをするかというと、断って綺麗なペットボトルの手渡しコーナーへゆく。トイレの汚物処理や廃棄も出来ないゴミの処理は残った被災民がやっている。ガソリンスタンドも電動じゃなく手動で汲みあげているのだが、"ボランティア"が給油の長蛇をなす。
敢えて行かない人達は実際に助けにならなければボランティアにならないという事を過去の震災から学んでいるからこそ被災地に行かずに寄付だけをしている。このビデオでもボランティアに着た人達が無許可で水を使いゴミを残して帰ったといっている。そこを言っている。

ほんと英語コメントばかりですねw 自分が思うにはこれがかなり現実のがんばってる被災者の方のドキュメンタリーだから、ではないでしょうか。日本人たちもこのシリーズをたくさん見ている。と思いますが、あまりに現実が厳しくて、大変すぎて、日本人としては、気おくれしてしまって、軽弾みなコメントは、返って失礼になる。と思って、しかも英語コメントが多いし、日本語コメントが書きずらい。と思うのかも知れません。ぽつぽつと日本語があれば、ある線を超えれば堰を切ったように日本語コメントが増える。と思います。(そうなるとバカなクソガキ的コメントも加わるかも知れません。・_・;)
いつもこのシリーズ、被災地レポートを拝見させていただいて、認識をさせられ、勉強させて頂いています。今はこのジャーナリストとしての活動に専念しているんですね。Danielkahlさんのように直接ボランティアでがんばっている人も居ますが、このような報道の仕事もとても大事と思います。体に気をつけてこれからもがんばって下さい。
