Following our previous two posts, here are another batch of messages from Stardust Promotion artists, dedicated to the victims of the March 11th earthquake.

The third part contains messages from actresses Kitagawa Keiko Mimura, Omasa Aya, and Takeuchi Yuko, and actors Ichihara Hayato and Takaoka Sosuke. This is our final set of translations for now, but we� will keep you posted as more messages get posted by the agency.

Ichihara Hayato:

After hearing news of the disaster, I lost my words and have been spending my days with heartache. Every single person has an important feeling, just like how every single person has a name. I will be working hard to support things by assessing the situation calmly, helping with even the smallest things, and not losing faith.

Kitagawa Keiko:

When I think about how many people have been the victims of [the earthquake], and how uncertain they must feel everyday, my heart aches as if it was happening to myself. When I was 8, I lost many precious things and was one of many hurt in an earthquake. At the time, despite being a child, I realized from watching the victims that even when the body healed... it would take a long time to repair injured hearts.

Right now, as someone who went through the same experience once before, I am looking for even small things I could do [to help]. Although the uncertainty continues, please do not lose your spirit. I am praying from the bottom of my heart that smiles will return to everyone.

Mimura:

What can people like us who work in the entertainment industry do to help people return to normal psychologically, in addition to the physical restoration? I will be doing my best to do what I can as I think about this question. All of Japan, let�s work hard together!

Omasa Aya:

Everyone who has been affected by the earthquake must be spending their days in uncertainty. My heart aches every time I see the damages on broadcasts. In order for reconstruction to start, for a safe environment to be made as quickly as possible... maybe it is a small thing but I have been focusing on conserving electricity and water. It is a difficult time, but please do your best. Don't forget to help each other and maintain a strong spirit. I will also be working hard so that I can be of even a little help to everyone.

Takaoka Sosuke:

To be honest, right now, I am having trouble finding words. I can only imagine something I have not experienced. I think what we can do, as survivors, is to not waste the thoughts of those who have died and cherish life without complaining. I am painfully aware of how spoiled I was in my everyday life. To everyone in the devastated areas, and their families, please don't lose. Right now this feeling may not reach you, but you all have supporters right nearby. We will do everything to support you. We will be your family forever. I hope that the day when you can smile again will come. For that, I will also be working hard. Please don't lose.

Takeuchi Yuko:

The movement to find something we should do [to help] as an individual and put it into action has already started. I hope that the feelings in Japan and around the world can support everyone. I am wishing and praying that the sleepless nights will end and the morning of rebirth for cities and hearts can come quickly.
