Credit goes to artist, not me.
So we all know what happened here. a 8.9 earthquake hit in the middle of the ocean, causing a tsunami to hit most of the people living in Japan and it hit even more countries along the way.
So many people died in this it was just awful. D: It will have a giant impact on the entire world. We should all hope and pray that things get better from here on out for every one affected by this. Not just Japan got hit by this, so many other countries were slammed by this tsunami & earthquake.
So, we should all just keep in our thoughts that everything gets better from here on out for everyone <3

I can't find any words to pray with. This is just... It's just a hellish catastrophe. So many people dead and missing, and then the Nuclear reactor blows...
Japan will get back up on its feet. There's no doubt about that. It's a strong country; this will bring communities closer together, families together. Come on Japan - You can do it! Show us what you're made of!
I'm making a Youtube video to help raise awareness, and hopefully to create a big impact. Volunteers would be appreciated. C'mon people - start PMing me images and words of inspiration for Japan!

I'm SURE Japan will get back on their feet. Their economy kicks ours ass. xP All they need is some time and a little help. And yeah this SHOULD bring the world closer to peace of one country can help another in it's time of need and vice-versa.
I mean...more lives were lost in THIS than 9-11 I think...not sure though.
But some people are going to have to donate. Prayers alone isn't going to magically repair all damages. ={

As much as I'm hoping everything turns out as positive as it can be for Japan just remember while they are the most impacted by this there are still other places that have been hit. What about Canada, California, Hawaii, etc etc etc.? They're getting hit as well. Granted it might not be as severe, I don't know. Why? Because the media isn't showing them. It shouldn't matter were it hits or what country it was affected. Any country hit is a country that deserves prayers.
And then what about the war in Lybia or Egypt? There are people dying there too but there never seems to be anything major in "pray for Lybia/Egypt". Things are going on all around that world that are bad, harmful, and deadly but they don't get the same coverage as this.
I'm not making this out to be a debate, I'm praying for Japan's people too don't get me wrong. However I'm also putting out prayers for other countries that are having troubles too. Japan is the richest of the Asian countries for the most part and had many things set up in case this happened. Nothing could stop the magnitude that this happened in but it lessened the damage anyways. If this had happened to a developing and poorer nation all the damage you see would be much worse.
Again not saying that raising awareness or supporting the relief effort is bad, it's great! Praying for the people, great! Just include other nations of the world in your prayers too. Everyone could use some hope, not just Japan.

Yea, Japan definitely got more attention due to "Lolanimu", I'm not going to lie; but a catastrophe is a catastrophe.

Yeah Japan only got Popular because of Anime and video games. xD
What about the culture? The language? I like Japan for it's culture. That's what I like ANY country for. xP Japan is just more of my favorite because I just really got into the culture and such. I also have a friend who's Japanese. =}

This earthquake/tsunami, tragic as it is, doesn't worry me. It's Japan, they've had this happen to them plenty of times before. While you can't do anything to 'prevent' damage to property and lives completely, they've had this happen plenty of times to where they build everything with natural disasters in mind. I've got full confidence in Japan. This hit them hard, but they'll bounce back.
Now the threat of a nuclear meltdown, however, does concern me...
