Johnny & Associates came forward to help earthquake victims

I heard SM Entertainment donate 1 billion won to Japan disaster relief, approximately US$875,000 (http://super-junior.net/). Such a huge number ^^
and at the same time, in Japan... the big idol agency, Johnny & Associates will be donating about 2000 litres of diesel fuel for disaster relief, very useful as the cold weather for this moment. Previous, they are providing trucks to earthquake affected areas. Food transport and power shortage are big problems at the affected areas, and Johnny’s says they will consider requests by local authority groups involved in the relief effort for the trucks.

The fuel being donated this time had been purchased in advance for Yamashita Tomohisa’s Sapporo concerts on March 18th and 19th. Johnny’s has canceled all of their March performances, so the agency decided to put the newly-available fuel to good use.

The donation meets the dire need for gasoline and diesel fuel in stricken-areas, as many oil refineries had been destroyed in the disaster.

In addition, more details have been released regarding the vehicles the agency is lending out. A total of five 11-ton transport trucks and two 300-kilowatt generator vehicles, currently situated in Tokyo and Sapporo, are ready to be lent out, and drivers have also been secured. Johnny’s will work out further details once a request is made by affected areas.
