Your video had me in tears. The Tohoku Earthquake was devastating, but it's very uplifting to see the resilience, hope, and determination of the people whose lives were indelibly affected by this tragedy. Thank you for your very thoughtful video.

I'm here in Tohoku and was here three years ago when the after math was a bit fresh. I had children during English camp who were living in temporary homes in Tanohata who mothers died. It was devastating and I didn't know how to bring joy to these children's life. But we tried our best and gave them as much fun and entertainment as we could. I hope they have gone on to do well.

Today marks 6 years since the earthquake and tsunami that stuck the northeast coast in Japan. I remember when people began posting videos on KZfaq of their homes been washed away, it was chilling to stand in the same place (Rikuzentakata and more). I was only able to stay a day but talking to the people who survived the disaster, and seeing it for myself helped really understand more about the strength and beauty of the people who are rebuilding across Tohoku. Ganbappeshi!

Even after six years, it brings tears to my eyes to see anthing of the areas affected by the tsunami. But you showed us that the people there did not just survive it but are reviving their towns, business, and life. Thank you very much, Lotetta, for putting this video together.

渋谷や原宿だけが日本じゃない、こういう所も本当の日本を知る貴重な場所です。被災地を見に行くなんて観光客だったらやらないと思うけど、そういう所にも目を向けるロレッタさんの真摯な姿勢に感心します。これからも興味深い動画を期待しています !!

Your videos needs to be shown on NHK Japan because it's very interesting and also informative :D. Thank you for sharing!.

It makes me happy that more people are learning about Tohoku! It was truly an honor to visit Minamisanriku and learn the stories of the people who have survived this tragic event. But most importantly it stuck with me how work and effort their all putting in together to rebuild what they have lost! That is what I call a true community があんっぺし!

Amazing!!!! such a beautiful viideo

It's amazing to see the resolve of the residents of this town.

Thank you for this video, Kemushi chan and Charly. 😊

大切な日にこんな素敵なビデオあげてくれてありがとう！

Amazing how six years can already have made such a huge difference. The people living there have such strong hearts and caring smiles. Thank you for making this video and highlighting some of their heartwarming stories.

宮城県民です。来てくれてありがとうございました。

Much love

東北を紹介してくれて、ありがとう！今日、この日を忘れずに、前に進んでいきます。

東北の食べ物はおいしいよね。 三陸には行った事ないけど、いつかまとまった休暇とれたら行ってみることにするよ。 英語だからわからない所も多いけど勇気づけられるいい動画でした。 ありがとう。

西日本在住の私にとって東北は遠いくてなかなか行けませんが、震災の一週間前に福島の出身の友人の帰省に同行しました。その一週間後に地震があり、とてもショックで複雑な思いでした。福島の現状をみる機会も少なく一日も速い復興を願う反面、自分自身で確かめる勇気がありませんでした。今回、ケムシちゃんがレポートしてくれた映像を見ながら、やっぱり一度訪ねてみたい思いに駆られました。ありがとう。

素晴らしいレポートですね、ありがとうございます。

Thank you very much for this video. Ever since the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan I've been fascinated by the event. When I first saw video of the destruction as it was happening my heart broke. I just went through a tornado on April 22nd 2020 here in Texas, USA. While that was horrible, terrible and devastating it was nothing compared to what happened in Japan on 3-11-11. I'm glad to see them rebuilding and trying their best to get on with life. I understand this better than some because I've been through a devastating event. My heart ,thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan. God bless them.

日本人ですら知らない事が多いからね、ありがたい。

日本人をバカにし、差別する動画を偶然見つけて気分を害してしまった。 でも、この動画で少し落ち着いた。 あなたのような外国人がいる事に感謝。

I'm from Kamaishi, Iwate. So I just wanted to say thank you for visiting and uploading this video😊 Ppl are really nice and warm in Tohoku, food is amazing and actually there are a lot to see there! Please come visit again!

すごいビデオ！楽しいし、教育的だし、めっちゃくちゃ好きだよー I love scallops but those fresh scallops looked amazing! So did the pasta! The story behind Tohoku is so sad. I'm glad they are starting to rebuild what they once had. Thanks for creating this and getting awareness out there cause I had no idea. Amazing content and video!

Thank you for sharing this! It's hard to believe it's been 6 years!

This is such an uplifting video update on japans rebuilding. Thank you so much for posting.

4:12 - I well remember seeing this 5-story building in a post-tsunami video years ago. It was shocking that the water completely submerged all 4 lower floors, and partly washed into the 5th floor. If you'd thought you were safe on the 3rd or 4th floor, you could have been killed if you hadn't been able to get upstairs in time as the water quickly got higher.

いやー素晴らしい映像、心温まる編集も素敵です！

遠州人です。 三陸のわかめの香りは最高！

南海トラフも東京直下型地震もあります。日本にいる間は必ず来ると思って生活してください。

That opening shot ✨so pretty. Even though it's so grim here the colours are so beautiful 😩💛 the orange and the greys ughhhhh I love it

Thanks Loretta for another documentary style~ video! 💁🏾‍♂️😜

Such an amazing video! I loved everything about it! I'm going to watch all of your videos :)

Thank you, Loretta.

Great job on the videos!!

watching this was a little saddening, thinking about those 15,000 or so people that lost their lives that day. I loved this video. seeing the people rebuild and have new hope...good video. very fun and heartwarming.

3:31 - I presume this sign was in place before the tsunami and survived it, and was retained as a memorial to show the depth the water reached here. It says "Okamoto Self", which I guess could have been a self-storage facility, or some other kind of self-service business.

Omg so emotional 😭

昨日の夕方のTBS系のNスタで、ロレッタさんが出てたのみましたよ！ちょうどのこのmovieが紹介されてましたね。

You are a great interviewer and I think you have found your calling. You put a smile on the Japanese people that you meet and that's priceless,,,,,,,,,Good for you, they need a little of your kindness,,,,,,,

I didn't know that a lot of ruins are still there and it was good to know. Thank you for making this wonderful video, ロレッタちゃん!

Great video! its good to see the progress

You lucky fish! Makes me want to visit and pay tribute. So surreal when you speak like a local 👍

Great vlog!

You always make so nice videos. and this time it's really amazing!

Very moving and inspirational.. 💖

really beautiful. i enjoy your videos so much. love from Barbados

this is a very "Vice" like video good job 👌

Very cool! Thank you for sharing... ❤👏👏👏

Beautiful beautiful Japan.

This is such a quality vid. Thanks for making the most inspired and feel good video like this:) #HellofromThailand

I'm so glad that I discovered such a lovely woman like you ^-^ Thank you for making this video. You did a great job hehe

ロレッタさん！テレビで見ました！

I totally feel for the Japanese. HOWEVER THE NUCLEAR ONGOING DISASTER IN FUKUSHIMA IS FRIGHTENING TO SAY THE LEAST.

Also students from one of my junior high schools on Friday had a prayer ceremony for the victims. It was moving and even one of the kids (who I think had a relative die from the incident was crying). It was painful to watch but necessary.

Japan is a great nation

your Japanese is very good

My heart and respect goes out to those who died during the Japanese Tsunami :( I love the Japanese people.

aw man I wanted to hear his story because I like stories ;-;

At 3:38 to 3:40 notice the white orb around the sign showing how high the tsunami hit.

KemushiChan! I am glad you went to Porco Rosso! I went to that restaurant two years ago (it was delicious) so I am glad to see that the place and lovely chef is still there（＾ｖ＾）

Wow interesting vid!

4:08 14.5 m OMG......good luck japan....

Are these areas affected by radiation? If so, has it been irradicated?

テレビのニュースでみたよ。

Japanese people are workhorses, when disasters hit they just use engineering and get their way out of it. Crazy and awesome people

:( Türkiye den en derin üzüntülerimi sunarım. Doğanın yıkıcı gücü karşısında bazen biz insanlar aciz kalıyoruz.. :(

がんばんべい がんばんべぇ がんばっぺぇ　NOT gun bop pay 🙌🔫 がんばっぺ がんばっぺし 東北 東日本 all japan

Radioactive

rather than rebuilding. just let nature takes its course. no one wants to live there anymore. it just brings bad memories.

I do not hope that the food is radioactive

You're "actually on a boat right now"? DUH!

Shame, I cant find 1/2

GIN GER

No captions

Hmmmmm radiation scallops mmm yummy

Building in areas that were prone to flooding is insane. Rebuilding after they were flooded in the same areas after countless people were killed is no less insane. Nature didn't care the first time. What makes you think she will care any time after that? Just like putting a nuclear power plant by the tsunami prone ocean in the most earthquake active region in the world is insane. Humanity never learns until humanity is tired of getting the same results. That would be a much more inspirational video.

I often wonder if the tsunami was nature’s karma because of Taiji and the murdering of dolphins & whales.....
