Japan Cinema is proud to host a week long Blogathon with CinemaFanatic (winner of TotalFILM’s best fan blog of 2010) to aid relief efforts in Japan during the unfortunate Tsunami and Earthquake disaster. On March 11th, 2011, Japan was hit by the most powerful earthquake in at least 100 years at 8.9 magnitude, the fifth largest in history. 100% of profits from this Blogathon will go to support various charities (of your choosing) for earthquake and disaster relief efforts in Japan.

    Hey, its comments like this, and causes like the blogathon, that we get up in the morning and spend hours in photoshop making these graphics, and watching these films. Thanks!

  • JAMES HEWICK

    Absolutely right, I do agree with your
    post. By the way recently I joined a newspaper as a correspondent. I need to
    write an article on Top Workplaces in Pittsburgh. I searched & found there
    are so many good companies here like Cochran, ACHIEVA, ACTION-Housing, Inc. Field and Technical
    Services      &  Graybar Electric Co. Do you guys have any idea
    about these companies? I will appreciate your view.

  • DENICE LORRAINE

    I was looking for blog articles on reliance first
    capital     but surprisingly there is very little. I am doing a
    research analysis on them. Anybody has worked with them? Let me know and I
    will compensate for your time.
