Until now, I neverexperienced such a tragedy in my life. But I also neverexperienced such a beauty in humanity. The love and hardship ofthe Japanese is undeniably strong. I witnessed a miracle, andI am still seeing it today at the volunteer centres and evacuation centres allover Northern Japan. Being at the heart of thedisaster, losing my home, and being invited into a new one has been a lifechanging experience.Working together withvolunteers, and meeting families who are suffering worse than I. This song I have writtenis just another wait to show my support. I wanted to write what ISEE, and not what I SAW. I wanted to do this…Ineeded to do this…

Shot a music video around 2 weeks ago for our next single "Hero" whichcomes out in January. This song is definitely one of my favorites,and it really tells a great story using Superman as it's base.I collaborated with BabyM last week in the studio for a song she willbe releasing next year. I had fun!Today Will.I.am from "The Black Eyed Peas" came up to Sendai to helpkeep awareness strong for the victims of the Earthquake/Tsunami ofMarch 11th.I sang a few songs as did Will, soon afterwards Will and I jammedtogether on stage. It was a blast! I had a blast!
