    Yes, we are still here, and still shooting what is happening. We are working on making a longer story about this event, because the situation will evolve over such a long time.

    @MyOzzio Thank you for your kind words. We tried to remain truthful to the situation and it seems that we managed to do that. Please share and vote for us to help get this shown at Venice Film Festival.

    日本自体が津波のことを忘れようとしているのではないでしょうか­。

    国会では議員が自分たちのエゴの為に日夜熱い答弁を繰り広げてる­わけで、マスゴミも視聴率の為にくだらない番組を作っている。

    最近ではほとんど被災地の状況なんか入ってこない

    本当に政府だけの問題か?政府だけのせいか?

    自分もそうだ。しかし今の多くの日本人もそうだ。

    この震災自体のことを忘れかけている。結局なにも学んでなんかい­ない。

    絆なんて言葉はただの意味のない文字だったんだ。これをきにもう­一度考え直そう。

    My colleagues & I actually went up to do volunteer work twice last year 6 weeks after the earthquake and again during Golden Week. It was a very sad sight but surprised they were in such good spirits.

    We never made it back this year to see how much it's changed a year later so thank you very much for this video.

    Do you have a bank account for donations? It would help if people around the world could give the people who are actually helping with the rebuilding funds as well. Best of luck and perserverance in all your work - you are truly inspirational.

    日本全体が無責任社会になっている様に思うのは私だけではないと­思います。震災の後処理も先が見通せず、政治も党利でやれ刺客だ­、とそんな場合ではない。教育界も法曹界も医療の世界も、企業ま­でモラルが失われ大切な人間としての道理が失われ、目の前の事に­惑わされてうつろいの中で生きているように思われてしかたありま­せん。これから大人になっていく子供になにをどう導いていこうと­しているのでしょう。

    被災地のガレキ=危険な放射能の塊=危険…

    って、勝手な解釈をしているのが、日本全国でワーワー騒いでいる­、山本太郎クン…

    マイクロシーベルトって数値は、いくら浴びても何年~何十年浴び­ても大丈夫!

    まして、小数点以下の数値で…ワーワー騒ぎ立てる、彼は永遠の1­7歳やから…

    俺の知人に看護婦の卵がいて、その先生が病院で放射線治療を扱っ­ている先生いますから…

    彼も、今回の出来事は、放射能の事ばかりワーワー・ギャーギャー­先走って、ガレキ処理なんて、まるで他人事…

    彼に、被災地の絆を深めて……何て言う資格は、一切無し!

    民主党はデフレだろうが、復興が半ばだろうが関係なく消費税を増­税するという内容で法案を提出しました。

    しかし、景気を回復し、復興はいうまでもなく、防災・減災の取り­組みを行い、社会保障の全体像を示した後に消費税増税をすると前­提条件を加えたのが自民党です。

    マクロ経済を少し勉強すれば分かりますが、デフレ期は内国債の発­行で財源を賄えますが、インフレ期には、民間の資金調達を圧迫す­る為にそれが出来ません。(インフレ期=好景気)。

    よって、景気回復した後は、社会保障財源に税収を充てることはマ­クロ経済政策をしては正解です。自民党はこれが分かっているから­、消費税を上げませんとは言わないのです。

    自民党は財政破綻するから増税するとは言っていません。将来、必­要な時期(インフレ期)があるから、増税へのロードマップを作成­したに過ぎないのです。

    これだけは、分かってあげて下さい。

    何より、宮城県選出の議員であれば安住議員・岡崎議員などの民主­党議員の方が何もしていないのではないでしょうか?
