Earthquake: Message from Ai Otsuka

As it can be expected, entertainment is not a product which is badly needed these days in Japan. Last show of Music Station was full of sadness and gloomy atmosphere - all because the tragic earthquake and tsunami which devastated Japan a week ago.

The episode featured Ai-chin's past performance of "Ai" in the acoustic version. During the performance, there was a message from Ai-chin shown. Otsuka said:

地震から数日がたちました。みんなの無事を切に願ってます。明日のために今日は生きて数年先のために乗り越える明日を先きてがんばったねって抱き合いたい。強く強くあなたのこと想ってます。

It's been a few days since the earthquake. I hope everybody is safe. Let's live today for tomorrow and the years which will come next. I'd like to tell you "Let's be brave and fight". I keep thinking about you.

Translation: mine (absolutely not perfect, but the meaning is preserved)

Ai didn't appear live in the episode. Let's hope she's staying in a safe place and is not exposed to radiation in any way :(
