DELIVERING YUI-Lover Collaboration 4 CD TO YUI:

March 11th Tohoku Tsunami/Earthquake Disaster - Worry amongst the YUI-Lover Community:
After the package arrived on March 15th there were no mentions of our project. It was absolutely understandable with the horrible disaster in Japan which occurred on March 11th, that it was not an appropriate time to inquire the studio/staff about this. The YUI-Lover (YL) community was concerned for the safety of those caught in the disaster, fellow YUI-Lover members, and for YUI & her staff.

March 18th - Backy's Blog — YUI’s Status and Message for YUI-Lover.

Over the next few days, the YL community wanted to know about the safety and status' of YUI, the e.u.band members, and staff. Thankfully, staff and YUI posted their thoughts, and we had heard everyone was safe and that Maimai had a minor injury. We also left a blog post message for e.u.band member, Backy, and whom responded back to us on his blog. Read the messages here

Relieved, the YL members began to wonder if the package was was received properly and considered the different scenarios of it being lost, destroyed, misplaced due to the earthquake and shaking. YL members contacted YUI, e.u.band members and staff blogs asking if they had received anything.

Communication/Translators for our messages:

- messages from Backy; listened to collab...... - email from yuusuke

to be completed....
