A major earthquake occurred in the Gayan area of ​​Khorasan in northern Persia. It was the largest earthquake in the area since 1800, with a moment magnitude of 8.3.

The center is located in a rural village called Adekul, about 270 kilometers south of Gayan.

The Gayan area became devastated, with 1567 people killed, more than 2300 injured, 15 homeless, and more than 45000 houses damaged or damaged.

The Persian government urgently deployed 80 tons of supplies to the Gayan area.

Thousands of volunteers, many without any tools and working entirely with their hands, joined the search for survivors buried under piles of bricks and cement debris.

…………

The U.S. Geological Survey described it as the deadliest earthquake of 1997.

Some 155 aftershocks followed, causing further damage and forcing survivors to flee their homes.

Later research found that the earthquake was caused by a rupture of a fault that ran underground along the border between Persia and Afghanistan.

A US geophysicist has suggested a nationwide rebuilding program is needed to address ongoing public safety concerns.

The final estimate of the damage from the disaster was approximately US$3 million.

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan praised the company's "quick and generous response."

For example: When Bunta Takakura made a charitable donation to the Persian earthquake, he also sponsored the Japan Student Support Organization (JASSO) in China.

Through international transactions, Wulang chartered a cargo plane to deliver supplies to Persia.

The United Nations later recommended that corresponding building regulations be adjusted.

The West Asia Earthquake Relief Foundation invests 10 billion yen every year to set up offices and earthquake early warning observation stations in 19 countries in West Asia, including Persia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Georgia, Armenia, Syria, Yemen, Kuwait, and Lebanon.

The area surrounding the epicenter of the earthquake was almost completely destroyed, which has a lot to do with the poor quality of construction in rural areas.

Takakura Bunta's pursuit of charity has become even more fierce and crazy.

To address the problem of fault rupture and seismic zones in West Asia, Totland Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. established the West Asia Earthquake Relief Foundation.

This is the most profitable dark business in the world.

…………

In terms of death toll, since the beginning of the 20th century, an average of 3000 per 1 people in Persia has been killed in earthquake-related incidents.

The annual tuition fee for Doshisha University is 150 million yen.

My grandfather died after he was admitted to college in Shancheye. The family had even fewer sources of income and had to support his younger sister. It wasn't long before I had to drop out of school because I couldn't afford the tuition.

Bunta Takakura returned to Shibaura Building in Minato-ku, Tokyo and immediately started working on a new album.

It happened to be that Nakamori Akina and Tony Futaki had a free period, and the Beast Rock Band came together to speed up the progress of the new album in 1997.

Music record sales, like movie box office, are a classic rice-washing tactic in the 20s.

The original plan was for Takakura Bunta to come back and shoot the remaining two MVs with Hirosue Ryoko. However, the plan failed to keep up with the change and Hirosue Ryoko was asked to film by Kanda Keiko's agent.

After Hirosue Ryoko finished filming the MV for "PLANET" and officially signed with Takakura Bunta Studio, Kanda Keiko began to pay attention to major film crews and help Hirosue Ryoko take on roles.

However, the film and television resources that the studio has access to are limited after all.

Compared with her best friend Ayumi Hamasaki, what Hirosue Ryoko can use is that she has appeared in the TV series "Shouta's Sushi" as a supporting role, acted as a heroine in several advertisements, and filmed the "PLANET" song MV.

Kanda Keiko worked hard for a long time, but couldn't find any good roles, so she simply gave Hirosue Ryoko a small supporting role to transition.

Takakura Bunta heard that Hirosue Ryoko went to film "Oda Nobunaga" and made an appointment with her to visit the class when he had time.

…………

The crew of "Oda Nobunaga" in the dark star plane is full of handsome guys and beautiful women, including Takuya Kimura, Miki Nakatani, Ryoko Hirosue, etc. who are at their peak of appearance.

There is also a newcomer who just debuted in Heisei, Sawajiri Eryuka. She learned horse riding, dance and piano under the influence of her father when she was a child.

After her debut, she served as a model in the comic magazine "Youth", and later became a model for the youth magazine "Nicola". Kimura Takuya's version of "Oda Nobunaga" was Sawajiri Hideryuka's first film.
