J- pop empress, Ayumi Hamasaki, revealed via her personal Twitter on the 13th that she is contemplating a charity live performance in light of the atrocious recent events.

Immediately after the earthquake on the 11th, Hamasaki began proactively tweeting relevant updates about the situation, reminding followers of safety protocol and sending out optimistic messages to readers like, “There are certainly times when we can’t be driven to do our best on our own volition. Therefore let’s quickly speak up and encourage each other!” and “Let’s laugh, not just a little, but with all our hearts! A chain of smiles☆”.

Requests by fans such as “Given the present situation, please consider holding a live charity performance” have been met by favorable responses from Ayu and her staff with statements such as, “A Staff (TeamAyu/Hamasaki Ayumi Official Fan Club) is currently gathering all its resources in steps to make this [charity live] a reality. Thank you very much for your feedback!”

Strong encouragement from not only Ayu but other celebrities as well during these disaster-stricken times are successfully restoring smiles to the faces of people all over Japan.

不只是說說 濱崎步捐6萬美元

日本大地震與海嘯奪去成千上萬條人命，當地藝人眾志成城出錢又出力，天后濱崎步不時透過twitter查問災情及為國民打氣，14小時內留言達143次，此舉卻惹來網友批她是在搏宣傳，更質疑身為億萬富婆的她從未捐錢行善，步姐不甘挨轟回應：「沒必要敲鑼打鼓大聲宣傳『我有捐錢』。」

說時遲那時快，步姐宣布月底七張混音專輯及DVD全部延期上市，並在twitter上透露已先後捐錢三次，向企業「活力門」前CEO堀江貴文發起的慈善活動捐出500萬日圓（約6萬1900美元），暫列該捐款排行榜冠軍。

反觀人在羅馬開工的安室奈美惠，有消息傳出她越洋透過事務所捐出5000萬日圓（約61萬9000美元）幫助同胞，若消息屬實，金額將比步姐高出十倍。其實過去安室也曾解囊賑災，2004年南亞海嘯時她就捐出1000萬日圓（約12萬3800美元）。

另一位天后宇多田光愛心不落後人，近日身體力行帶頭捐血，還在twitter上亮出捐血卡，證明自己並非說說而已。至於男子組合「放浪兄弟」不只計畫捐錢，還額外向災民提供5萬瓶蒸餾水。當紅組合「AKB48」日前宣布設立基金後，一票成員隨後更捐出5億日圓（約618萬5500美元）的巨款，成為目前捐款最多的日韓明星。

此外，男星上地雄輔發起賑災計畫，但如果要捐款必須先繳315日圓（約3.9美元）的歌迷會登記費，而被轟有欺騙之嫌。
