On behalf of all of the editorial board at ejcjs, as well as our reviewers and contributors, we wish the people of Japan and the Tōhoku region sincere sympathies and condolences for the traumatic losses associated with the 11 March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis. Never give up hope, and ganbare!
