fukushima_now: Fukushima Nuclear Plant No.1: After governmental inspection, it has been tagged at a Level 7… For more details – Mainichi News (12 April 1am) http://goo.gl/v75si
ayu_19980408: RT

ryosukeimai: To programmes like NHK’s “Iikagen Hiru”, just cut off people like the government, CEOs, Tokyo Power CEO etc during programme broadcasts and let the people know what’s really happening.
ayu_19980408: RT

DJTaShi: The Fukushima nuclear incident has been rated a Level 7. Even now, there are people who continue to work. It must be hard for them, because they have families to think of, but if things can be resolved quickly, we will all pray for it. I understand the decisions made by the government and Tokyo Power, but what is most important now is to resolve the issue. Nobody wants the situation to get any worse.
ayu_19980408: RT

kamitori: The international inspection has given a “Level 7”. All the experts are saying is that this must not become another Chernobyl, but they are all looking at the wrong things. It’s important to look at things like the concentration of radiation and its spread, but it’s a crime to neglect the supply of aid and food to victims because of that. It’s also a crime to falsely raise the level of stipulated annual amount by 20 times.
ayu_19980408: RT

takapon_jp: Because of the Minamata Disease and Yokkaichi Asthma, Minamata and Yokkaichi cities still hold the image of being dangerous places. Toyama’s “Itai Itai Disease” also gave Toyama Prefecture a bad image. Agano River’s organic mercury poisoning has been termed Niigata’s Minamata Disease, giving Minamata City a double punch. Do we need to attach place names to incidents like these?

Ayun17Branko: Has ayu-chan ever thought about running away?
ayu_19980408: There is nowhere else where I’d want to spend the rest of my life.

ayukiTA1978106: Why is ayu included in the list of people who had escaped from Japan…
ayu_19980408: Maybe the people who made that list are anxious to leave themselves.

ailove0708: Our lives are so short. I want to live with all my might.
ayu_19980408: It is short. It’s really too short, to meet all the people you want to meet, to do all the things you want to do. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t wish for forever.

htm17: But I really don’t know what to believe in. Everyone is saying something different from many perspectives. That’s why we all don’t know what to believe. Which direction should we face and walk towards? I wish they would tell us clearly.
ayu_19980408: I’m not waiting for guidance. In these confusing times with so much news, I realize that we need to decide which is the truth on our own.

ayu_19980408: No, I am awkward, and I don’t care if I become more cool or more awkward. That is not important. Right? ← Just as how Gaku-chin always ends his sentences.

Massa_japoleiro: International judgement has raised us to “Level 7” in the worst-case scenario. “Fukushima Radiation Levels Not Being Stopped, Rivalling Chernobyl’s Nuclear Incident or even Exceeding that” We don’t want panic, but this is not very optimistic. http://is.gd/pYU1vy
ayu_19980408: RT

numacchi_72: The amount of radiation from Chernobyl was 5.7mil Tera-becquerels. The amount released into the atmosphere by Fukushima is only 360,000 Tera-becquerels. It’s because there is a possibility that, plus the amount released into the sea, we can exceed Chernobyl, so we became a Level 7. (…)
