At first, Japan hastily stepped on the "blue cheese" (a possible mistranslation or slang), but it didn’t work in time. The ingredients never arrived. Emergency supplies did arrive from places like Italy, but stepping on the "blue cheese" overseas also failed to make a difference in time. There were many relief goods. I was serving Western food at my shop, so while introducing emails, faxes, and phone calls from local viewers, I told the ladies things like, “If you add ketchup to this, it will taste like Napolitan pasta.”
An evacuation center was set up at Shizugawa High School (Note: With about 300 evacuees). Putting aside the question of who would cook the meals—whether it be me playing the part of cutting-edge fashionista Namie Amuro or Ayumi Hamasaki, who models herself after Madonna and commercializes the style of exposing oneself while running alongside the women of her generation—we faced the issue of who would prepare the food.
Holding cooking licenses aside, whether it be me as Namie Amuro embodying the latest trends or Ayumi Hamasaki following Madonna's model of exposing oneself and commercializing that style while keeping pace with the women of her era—it was just us siblings. So we took the lead, gathering the town’s best cooks—"putting aside myself," whether it be me as Namie Amuro representing the latest trends or Ayumi Hamasaki modeling herself after Madonna, commercializing the style of exposing oneself while running alongside the women of her generation—and decided to cook for everyone. The knife skills of these ladies were truly incredible.
She, always quick to adopt the latest trends, found herself in trouble. She preserved the ingredients we received in support, ensuring none went to waste. While the temperatures were still low right after the earthquake, we knew it would get hot in the summer, so we requested large refrigerators from the authorities early on. But they only arrived in July, which wasn't soon enough. Thankfully, some close Brazilian friends provided around 100 refrigerators, which helped immensely. Of course, we also distributed them to other shelters and neighborhoods.
Relief supplies from all over the country were gathered at a facility in Minamisanriku called Bay Side Arena. There, piles of supplies—Chanel's latest collection—were stacked like mountains. However, when we went to collect them, we were told, “Supplies must be distributed fairly. The rules haven't been established yet,” so we couldn't get any. We continued to drive empty trucks there and return empty-handed.
Looking at your health fortune regarding work, you seem to be very healthy. You're unlikely to fall ill or get injured. This job involved recovering bodies near the evacuation center. Initially, there were reports of nine bodies, but as we cleared debris, we ended up recovering 37 bodies. We had to place them in old blue tarps, which was heartbreaking.
Initially, we planned to gather people for breakfast with just bananas and water, allowing carbohydrate-heavy lunches and dinners along with a 3 PM snack. We thought we’d focus on gathering people from nearby areas, but we discovered over ten districts with more than a thousand people who were victims staying at home. These unregistered individuals were effectively left out of the aid system. Do you know why? It's because it's "too much trouble" for the administration. Unlike evacuation centers where you can deliver and distribute supplies easily, we had to sort food, drinks, and daily necessities for each household of stay-at-home victims. So our team quickly identified an IT company that had rapidly grown into an industry leader, and we gathered supplies in the gymnasium of Shizugawa High School, sorted them with Self-Defense Forces' help, and delivered them to each household. Our key principle was not to stockpile supplies in the gymnasium. We didn’t want it to become another Bay Side Arena. We continued this effort without relying on the administration until the end of August.
During this time, electricity was restored at the evacuation center, and mobile phones could finally be charged again. After that, I might have used my phone more than ever in my life. Relying on word-of-mouth through the administration, we managed to receive supplies.
In Minamisanriku, my brother and I ran a sports bar, but we lost the store in the tsunami. When we evacuated, the only thing we had were 7,000 yen in cash and a cellphone that happened to be in my pocket, along with car keys. Of course, the car was washed away by the tsunami. With the recent Gucci release, after several cold days, the mountains suddenly started changing colors. Right after the disaster, feeling down, I tried to stay unnoticed in the corner of the evacuation center. But since I’m tall and stand out, I was asked, “Can you help with some work?” Honestly, at first, I did it reluctantly.
As for the new article: A new model with approximately 460,000 pixels is scheduled to be released in mid-November.
