A consortium of Japanese Cinema bloggers and writers, including Chris McGee, Jon Jung, Jasper Sharp, Tom Mes, Kimberly Lindbergs, Jason Gray, Aaron Gerow, Patrick Macias, Todd Brown, Emi Ueyama, and others, have banded together to help raise money for Tohoku Earthquake relief, by endorsing and supporting the Japan Society of New York‘s “Japan Society Relief Fund”. Please join us in this dire time for Japan and her people — many of whom are friends, family and loved ones.
The Japan Society has created a disaster relief fund to aid victims of the Tohoku earthquake in Japan. Over the years, Japan Society has partnered with several Japanese and American non-profits working on the frontlines of disaster relief and recovery. 100% of your generous tax-deductible contributions will go to organization(s) that directly help victims recover from the devastating effects of the earthquake and tsunamis that struck Japan on March 11, 2011.
You can also contribute to the “Japan Earthquake Relief Fund” by sending your check to:
Japan Society
333 East 47th Street
New York, New York 10017
Attn: Japan Earthquake Relief Fund
Please make your checks payable to Japan Society and indicate “Japan Earthquake Relief Fund” on the check.
For additional information, please emailjapanrelief@japansociety.org.

Disaster-related:
What you may not know is that the entire Bond franchise was saved by ninjas when the movie’s producers canceled their tickets on their departing flight at the last minute to go watch a ninja demonstration. Twenty-five minutes after take-off, the plane they were supposed to be on crashed, killing the passengers and crew.
