If you're like me you've watched in horror the devastating result of Friday's earthquake and resulting tsunami on the nation of Japan.

The first thing I thought about upon hearing the news was the safety of Mr. Yoshi Hontani (Leben & Acoustic Revive exporter), Mr. Ken Ishiguro (Acoustic Revive), and Mr. Taku Hyodo (Leben), and their families.

I sent Yoshi San an e-mail and I heard back from him today that everyone is ok, for which I am thankful:

Dear Jeff,

Thank you very much for your concern to our safety.

Although we had a light quake in Osaka, we fortunately did not have Tunami and were safe.

We also confirmed that all of our business partners are safe.

Thank you very much.

Yoshi Hontani

Please be sure to keep all the people of Japan in your thoughts and prayers during this terrible time of suffering.
