Welcome

Thank you for the thousands of emails in support of the original translations of Japanese Twitter accounts of the March 11th quake on my Facebook note, "Japan Quake as Seen from Twitter". Now, together with ten classmates and friends in the University of Cambridge, I have launched this blog to continue translating the voices of the Japanese people on their road to recovery.

A New, Higher Level of Civilization

Life has a truly amazing ability to adapt.  This summer, I know we will face significant challenges like the ongoing power shortage.  But I really think that Japan will rise from all of this to pioneer the way to a new, higher level of civilization ahead of the rest of the world.

生命の適応力は、本来凄まじい。今年の夏にかけての電力不足は深刻だが、世界に先駆けて、日本で新しい文明のかたちが生まれるきっかけになるかもしれない。
