Reply from Haraki:

My Family,My Friends ・・・All OK!

@gws14l:

oh my god…what a shocking news in the morning...

8.9 magnitude was way too massive...

hopefully there won't be so many people die...

I think Japan is one of the country that has most experienced against tsunami...

@caseywisenbaker:

wow.. the images on the news are insane…my thought and prayers are with japan...glad to hear our IH family is ok!

@Geo:

That really is a huge earthquake . . . so glad to hear all related to Haraki-san are well, and my prayers to those sadly affected

Woke up to a call today @ 3:30 AM from my wife's mom. My wife then turns on th tv…. very sad news. Good to hear haraki-san and ih crew are ok. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Japan.

Hanging out on higher ground with the family and most of the town.  We're in very northern California on the coast, and all the schools are closed and some main roads too.  We were told to leave our home as a precaution (we live in a tsunami hazard zone).  Hoping all my friends in Japan are ok, and all y'all out there as well…

Some of you know Ayumi, who works with Haraki (now based in New York, but with all her family in Japan).  She emailed a short while ago:

Thank you for checkin on us. Non of my and Haraki san's family and friends got hurt though people in Tokyo are suffering the subway system mess. Haraki san said it shook pretty heard and measured scale 5 which is pretty big.

Thank heavens our lovely IH team is safe, but like all of you my heart goes out to everyone affected.

great to hear and Katsushin all the best that there is no hard hit over you guys…

[gbougard]

I have a number of friends in Japan and so far all of them is OK. They got a bit scared. Coming from Japs' that must have been something…

[PETEROCK1]

Damn….. this is kind of eery. My wife just reminded me that we were suppose to be in Japan around this time (beginning of March) for our honeymoon trip. But we postponed it for now due to lack of funds.

[Beatle]

everything happens for a reason….

best wishes to everybody in Japan who is living closer to the coast line...

[Greek]

Such Sad Sad News…

Glad to Hear the IH Crew is ok.....

my thoughts and prayers are with everybody affected by this

[that_was_easy]

Best wishes to all who have been and will be affected

Some of the video from NHK is overwhelming… :o

[TinMan]

my thoughts go out to everyone in Japan…...

I was staring at the TV this morning in disbelief… So surreal.

[riffblaster general]

for any heavy music fans who might be concerned….The Melvins, High On Fire, and Unearthly Trance are all currently in Japan and they are all safe.

Hope the families of the victims are copping well with the situations, and I'm really glad that the IH crew in Japan are safe.

It's also eerie that so many things had happened on the 11th of the month.

Sept 11 attacks, 11/9
Haiti Earthquake, 11/1
Japan Earthquake, 11/3
