In 11th March, we got the tremendous earthquake in Tohoku area and suffered unprecedented damage. We pray for the victims. In particular, the most serious situation is related to the damage of the nuclear power generation systems in Fukushima and we need very careful treatment. Although it would take rather long time to get complete recovery, I believe that we Japanese will overcome this difficulty. In this chance, we would like to chance the social systems and find the new way for our future society.
