We are grateful to the following for their support and their generosity. Without them, none of this would be possible.

We would also like to add our special thanks to Johnny Mains, editor and horror enthusiast, for his support. Johnny has been running his own auction of rare and extremely collectable genre items through his site – inspired by a need to do something, just as we were. All proceeds from his auction will also go directly to the BRC’s Japan Tsunami appeal.
Dear all,
I have just come across this site and learnt the activity. I know I am not in a position to represent the whole nation of Japan but just wanted to express my personal gratefulness for your attention and concern for the difficulty caused by the natural disasters. I cannot imagine how much painful for those who have been suffering in the North as I live and work in Tokyo but even life in Tokyo has been quite difficult and disturbing, both in physical and in heart. Up until the end of March, time limited power cuts due to the power plant cripple have demonstrated some impact on our normal life. Even more crowded trains due to limited services, empty shelves in shops due to petrol delivery difficulty, traumatic feeling of “shaking all the time”, etc. Saving mode (not purchasing unnecessary goods, skipping or postponing leisure) of consumer attitude is affecting sales of various sectors.
Having said that, the life in Tokyo is getting back to normal and many people are trying to do something for the recovery.
Again, thank you all for your concerns,
Best regards,
Kazuomi Ikeda, Tokyo, Japan
