On July 14th, Sendai-based rock band MONKEY MAJIK arrived at the Miyagi Prefecture Government Office and gave a grand donation of 12,860,000 yen (~$162,500 USD) from their charity live to Murai Yoshihiro, the governor of Miyagi Prefecture.
The sum was from their �Send Ai� (�Send Love�) concert proceeds, which occurred back in July 3rd at Osakajou Ongakudou. As the promoters for the event, MONKEY MAJIK aimed to garner support for the reconstruction of the disaster-stuck areas.
Maynard Plant (35), the band's vocalist and guitarist, stated, �We wish to continue [the donations] furthermore after this,� after handing over the donation to Murai.
The governor laughed, �Please feel free to come back whenever you want. I will gladly welcome you.� He added, �I am worried that people are forgetting about the occurrence of this disaster. I want you to tell everyone in various places so that the citizens will not forget about this tragedy.�
