Lovely news, 2020 was such a garbage year, it's nice to see that some people stepped up to make life easier for others :)

Queen doing a better job than some leaders, proud of her :heart

Ayu the generous queen :heart

Found a really nice and positive article that also mentions how much she donated and helped during 2011 and 2016 earthquakes, also they highlight how she's been willing to help others for 25 years now since on a interview pre-debut in 1995 she told one day if she became famous she would try to help others as much as she could. It's been ages since I found a japanese article being so nice and positive!!! :luv2

I like the fact, that Japan honors the charity and don't take them for granted.
