Secret Diary of Berlin Su: A Suzuka Nakamoto (SU-METAL) FanFiction

Journal Entry # 11: Matsui Airi

Dear Diary,

It's been a tough day for Japan this last month. A huge earthquake and tsunami struck the Eastern part of the country and up to this day, there are still a lot of people who suffers from the aftermath of the event.

When the event happened, I was at Tokyo with Airi. Sure everything that happened during that moment is scary, no phone signals, no train transportations, and earthquake aftershocks. In other words, I can't go home or contact my family. Worries about their wellbeing really broke me. I was about to cry but Airi cheered me up. She is the most unexpected person whom I thought would lift my spirits up. She said that the epicenter of the earthquake is at the Tohoku Region particularly at the east coast of Japan and I don't need to worry about my family since Hiroshima is at the west part of Japan. Yet, she remained calm about the situation even though I know for a fact that Airi lives at Fukushima, a prefecture at the east coast of Japan. Just like me, she also couldn't contact or go home to her family. Much worse is that her hometown is among the affected areas. But in spite of this, she remained calmer than me and I really admired her because of that.

As I know Airi, she is the weakest link among the Sakura Gakuin girls. No offense to her but she is the least talented among us. She is not good in singing and dancing. Our senseis (staffs) in Sakura Gakuin used to scold at her for being a slow learner but for me, maybe she is just a late bloomer. I used to see Airi cry during rehearsals and as good friends, we also cheer her up. But at that time it's different. Airi cheered me up and she is more poised than me. From that time on I realized that Airi is really a special girl and I wish for her success in her dream to be a renowned idol and model.

It took us four days to come back to our respective homes. Thanks and Airi's family was actually safe. I watched the TV and was so terrified about the situation of Japan. It seems like it wasn't the Japan I used to know, shattered buildings, dead people, and indescribable ruins. Everything is a mess. There's something in me that felt so down that I am not able to do anything to help about the situation. I am just a little girl so what good can I help? From then, I realized that I should donate my small savings. Wait, what savings? My precious 1 yen coin collection :( This is saddening that I couldn't reach my goal this year but I think it's better for this to be used for goodwill. This amount, 800 yen, might be small but with this small amount and with thousands and thousands of people helping together, I know we, Japan, can stand up together and recover from this crisis.

God Bless Japan :)

With Love,

Berlin Su

P.S. Sakura Gakuin's first album release was moved to this month of April because of the tragedy. I am kinda sad about it but I hope everything will turn out well. I hope the Fukei-sans would still have their full support to us ^_^
