Hi Kawai James,

This morning I heard about the bad earthquake in Japan... I'm so sorry about that! I hope you're doing well (you're near Tokio, if I remember correctly).

I hope that there is not too many casualties and too much destroyed... What about the KAWAI factories?

My sympathies and all the best!

Yes indeed! James, I wish all the best to you and your loved ones.

I've just seen pictures on NHK World. I'm shocked...

All the best!

Yes, James and any other members in the affected areas, please let us know how you are doing.

How nice of you to open this topic. I also sympathize with those on the forum who are affected by this callamity. I hope and pray everybody is ok.

Our thoughts are with you and all the people of Japan.

Pray for the people of Japan.... indeed a horrific disaster.

Awful, just hope there isn't too much suffering inflicted. Take care James and everyone in Japan and the Pacific rim.

Wow I just saw it on the news and immediately thought of you James. Hope everything is okay.

Hello chaps,

We felt the quake in Hamamatsu earlier this afternoon. Undoubtedly the strongest, longest earthquake I have ever experienced - the head-office was evacuated, as was the Ryuyo piano factory which is beside the coast.

Tokyo does not appear to have sustained a great deal of damage, however Miyagi prefecture in the north west, in particular the large city of Sendai has been very badly affected. I am sure many of you will have seen the harrowing footage of tsunami waves sweeping across fields, washing away houses and vehicles.

I am scheduled to fly back to the UK tomorrow afternoon, however given today's dipterous events, this is looking highly unlikely.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

James and everyone in Japan, know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many people around the world and that you will get aid in rescuing survivors and rebuilding from the international community...whatever consolation that gives.

I concur with the thoughts and prayers for K James and the people of Japan. I've always had a place in my heart for Japan and its people.

I have been to Japan the first 9 years of my life and experienced countless earthquakes, but nothing serious... Good to hear from you, James! My prayers are with the Japanese people.

Hope things will turn out alright for everyone in Japan. Best wishes to you, James.

Thoughts and prayers with you James, and the millions affected by this.

God Bless

My prayers are with James and the Japanese people.
I just heard that Dutch rescue teams have been prepared and are ready to help...

Good to hear your news James, but thinking of all the affected people in Japan.

James, you were lucky.....I was glad this afternoon to hear from your pm you're ok ....you are a lucky boy.....but all that other Japanese people...what a disaster.......

Wish you and Japan all the best....

Best regards,

Johan B

I missed this thread...was on my mind today about these terrible events. Very glad you are ok James...when you get home to the fine city of Norwich you can unwind and revel in the way life just comfortingly ticks along at its steady, predictable pace.

Best wishes to everyone in Japan.
