As we all know, last week the country of Japan was hit by a massive earthquake (8.9 on the Richter Scale) and like if that wasn't enough, the earthquake triggered a devastating Tsunami. While there are many ways to help the Japanese people, we wanted to share with you music junkies, a music website called "Hear Japan". During the next week, "HearJapan" will be donating 50% of all sales to "Japan Platform", which is a relief organization that has been actively involved in the rescue operations ever since the day of the earthquake. Since the team over at "Japan Platform" is on-site in Japan, "HearJapan" is collecting funds and donating them immediately to "Japan Platform" to help all those effected by this terrible tragedy.
Here is a statement from "HearJapan":
"HearJapan will not be making any profit from this. In fact HearJapan will be losing money, in effect adding to the donation itself. HearJapan is a small company, but we are committed to doing everything we can to help. We feel this is a great way to get others involved, make an instantly tangible difference and also give some great Japanese music in return."
