JACK IN THE DONATION BOX, if you will.

From http://www.maverick-dci.com/ via @OISHI_MASAHIRO

Dear Music Fans,

We offer our sincerest condolences to all of the victims in the wake of this unprecedented national tragedy, the Great Tohoku-Pacific Earthquake.
As an expression of our fondest hopes for a speedy recovery, we have put together the JACK IN THE BOX CHARITY PROJECT.
Specifically, we are actively supporting the aggrieved through the Power of Music by offering them courage and hope.
As we witness one horrifying image of this disaster after another, we feel we must do something to help the afflicted overcome this hardship, and as such we hope that you, the music fans reading this message, will assist us.
Together, we will carry on the feelings of our artists: "First, We Act". "Send Them Courage". "Keep Strength in our Hearts" "Send Music To Kindly Comfort Hearts".

Working together, Music can ring through and assist in the efforts.
Help us send our power as fast as possible.

All of our staff and artists look forward to the cooperation and understanding of music-loving fans everywhere.
