As you all know, on March 11 2011, an earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter Scale hit Northern Japan. Thirty minutes later, a tsunami hit, destroying cities and towns all along the northeastern coast.
25 years ago I spent two years in Northern Japan on an LDS mission, in many of the areas affected by the earthquake and the tsunami. After watching the complete devastation and heart-wrenching suffering, I felt I needed to try to do as much as I possibly could to help. I have donated what I could, but I knew there was more I could do. I wanted desperately to go there and assist in the search and rescue, but that was impractical. The only real skill I have that I could employ to assist in some way was perhaps a song that I could give to people who felt like I did and wanted to help.
It's been almost a month since the disaster, but help is still desperately needed. You can help the recovery effort in Japan and get Andromeda's debut track Rising Sun. I will donate all proceeds from this song to the Japanese Red Cross. Many of you may have already contributed to relief efforts, and that's awesome. If you contribute .99 again by buying this track, that's even awesomer ;-)
You can buy it from CDBaby, iTunes, and Amazon. Again, in all cases, the proceeds received from each will be donated directly to the Japanese Red Cross.
Thank you, and God Bless.
