Syn in Aobadai, Tokyo
I was listening to a new mix that Junya had just finished for Nick Wood‘s new album when the 8.9 earthquake struck North Eastern Japan last evening Los Angeles time. Although we lost contact for quite a while, I stayed awake to make sure that everyone was alright at Syn. By 3 AM I went bed after a Skype chat with Junya assured me everyone was safe. I don’t know if he was able to get home because transportation had stopped, but Nick was able to drive home, although I have not heard from him today.
I can only hope and pray for everyone effected by this extreme event. All of us in Los Angeles are feeling extra uneasy as we have increased fear and thoughts of our own future quakes.
