Today a month has just passed since the unprecedented earthquake and Tsunami waves stroke Tohoku (東北地方) and north Kanto areas (北関東地方) Mar. 11th.
But, unfortunately, the catfish of earthquake has never left these areas yet as if it would love them.

Today about 5:16 p.m. an earthquake of magnitude 7.1 hit Tohoku and north Kanto areas; Tokyo was hit by an level 3 or 4, Iwaki by level 6-, Koriyama by 5- earthquake (see here*.)
And smaller earthquakes occurred sometimes successively after that.
Japan Meteorological Agency (気象庁) announced that also this earthquake might be an aftershock of the Mar. 11th earthquake (see here*.)

Just soon after the earthquake, I hurried to a Convenience Store near my house in order to contact my family in Koriyama with a public telephone because cellular phones were disconnected then for the earthquake.
Of course my family was all right.
One of my friends there, Mr.S sent me an E-mail about his safety at the same time.

We shall never yield to the earthquake!
We shall make a final stand after all!
Cheer up, Tohoku and Fukushima!
