How much money has she given?

Hugs really do not count in situations such as this mess.

She's only here to accept an award.

Im sure the people of Tohoku appreciate her thoughts, but I wonder....

The widow of singer-songwriter John Lennon said that as a native Japanese she felt it was her duty to show her support and set an example for others to come as well.

Would she have come here if she hadnt been coming to collect an award?

What incredibly poor taste this woman has and how incredibly thin her phoney words are.

As posters above have alluded to, she doesn't really seem to care to spend her days in Japan anymore; but with successive government like this, coupled with such an apathetic people, can you blame her?

why she came here, and that she's rich, isn't important. she says kinds words, i hope she helps a bit, that's important. i don't think she's intrinsically evil for being rich, japanese, living in NY, and coming to accept an award for which she is probably not much merited according to me, her art/music never turned me on.

Bit of much-needed PR for Mrs. John Lennon...

All she has done recently is close the John Lennon museum in Saitama, outside of Tokyo. Over 10 years, a total of about only 610,000 visitors came to see 130 items from Lennon's life, including his favorite guitar, a pair of his wire-rimmed glasses and hand-written lyrics.
