Stay strong, Japan

In the weeks following Japan's earthquake and tsunami, I've been glued to NHK World. Their sensitive, attentive reporting of the nation's ongoing suffering has been as compelling as it is informative. The reporting makes it clear that it will take years for many areas to recover — and every bit of help is needed.

Fortunately, help is coming in many forms. Everything from a LivingSocial deal that raised $2.3 million to an encouraging song from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi is making a difference. If you can, I encourage you to make a difference, too, either through fiscal aid or building awareness.

Enjoy the song from Sakaguchi below, then consider how you can best help Japan stay strong. Thank you.
