As the country of Japan has suffered tremendously from the recent earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent nuclear reactor problems, we have all been watching in horror and feeling for the people of Japan. Some have been hit on a more personal level, Phoenix based metallers HEMOPTYSIS' vocalist/guitarist Masaki Murashita is a native of Japan, and has issued the following comment:
"I first want to thank our fans for the overwhelming support they have shown me in the last few days since my home country of Japan was hit by devastating earthquakes and a tsunami. I have been in contact with my family and friends in Japan and they are safe at the moment but not out of harm's way. This is without a doubt one of the most difficult and tragic times for my country. The Japanese people are strong and resilient but any help you can spare for the people of Japan would be greatly appreciated.
