Popoki's E-mail was hacked!

Yesterday, somebody hacked Popoki's e-mail and sent messages saying that Ronni was stuck in Manchester with no money and asking for help. Ronni is fine and in Kobe, but Popoki has a new address...and has lost his contacts. We have changed from popokipeace to ronniandpopoki. Thanks!

Popoki's Friendship Story Project Starts



Popoki's Friendship Story Project kicks off!






We offer our sincere condolences to all those affected by the Northeast Japan disaster.



We cannot believe the suffering caused by the natural disaster, and refuse to accept the additional harm caused by the human/nuclear disaster.



We are doing what we can to help. One activity is Popoki's Friendship Story Project to join us all with one long cloth.



You can view the cloth so far at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpCi2FcV5Rw
