天皇陛下が東日本大震災でビデオ・メッセージ

Japan's Emperor Akihito has said he is "deeply worried" about the crisis his country is facing following last Friday's earthquake and tsunami. In an extremely rare appearance, the emperor went on live TV to make his first public comments on the disaster, and urged an all-out rescue effort.

　天皇陛下が東日本大震災の被災者と国民に異例の励ましのビデオ・メッセージ。比べるべくもないが、菅首相とは言葉の重みが違うなあ。言葉に心がこもっている。
