Maaya's Youtube comment and Sapporo cancelled...

Well, it's looking more and more likely that the 'You Can't Catch Me' tour's March stops will be cancelled as the situation in Japan grows more serious. I'm sure you've all been keeping up with developments in Japan but Maaya's homepage has now announced the cancellation of Sapporo.

Along with Sendai this is two dates out of the remaining stops now cancelled and they are currently in discussions about what will happen with the others.

I've translated the comment Maaya uploaded yesterday (in the video below) and was once again reminded why yoroshiku onegaishimasu is difficult to translate! What a tricky one! EDIT: I was considering 'over and out!' but went with what I assumed an English person would say...

Speaking of which, Akino Arai has also uploaded a song for the earthquake victims here. I think more than anything, the way social media has been used throughout this disaster has been astonishing.
