Hey all, We’ve got some great news to announce today!...

Hey all,

We’ve got some great news to announce today! Thanks to your efforts, the #SINGItForJapan project has been a huge success. When you were all called to action, you responded with kindness in your hearts, and helped us make a video that was better than we could have ever imagined. As you all know, we’ve received thousands of great submissions, and unfortunately couldn’t include them all in the video.

So today we’d like to launch the #SINGItForJapan gallery. Every Friday, we will choose 5 pieces to feature on the site. To start us off, I’ve selected some of my favorites from the submissions, but believe me, there are plenty more to come!

On a more serious note, the road to recovery in Japan still continues. We don’t hear about it in the news anymore, but we know that families are still struggling to rebuild their lives. The cleanup job is immense. And the danger of radiation still exists. Even when our own country was hit by storms, the coverage lasted only a few days until the next elected US official did something completely asinine to get himself on the front page of the papers.

To all of you affected by these tragedies, please know our hearts are still with you.

Hey all! First, we wanted to thank you all for making the #SINGItForJapan project a huge success. When we put out word that we needed your help, you responded quickly and with incredible content. You helped spread the word once the song and video were out, and now we’re getting played on the radio and more media exposure. All of this leads to us raising more money to help the relief efforts in Japan, so THANK YOU!!!!

Second, we have really good news about the availability of the digital download. Today, we’re happy to announce that you can purchase the #SINGItForJapan track at any digital download service that carries MCR’s music world wide. That means Amazon MP3, Rhapsody, and a whole host of others. We know that some of you don’t use iTunes or can’t, so now there are hopefully more options for you to get the song!

Finally, we are beginning work to feature our favorite submissions that didn’t make the video. We know many of you spent a lot of time in your projects, and we want people to see them! Not sure when we will get this up, but we’ll let you know as soon as we can.

Thanks again, and keep spreading the word! Tweet it, Facebook it, YouTube it!

My Chemical Romance has always shared a special connection with Japan. The food, the culture, the energy, the people…Since our first show there, we knew it would be a place we would keep coming back to.

While in the UK, we received news of the events unfolding after the massive earthquake. It affected us in a profound way. Moved by the terrible tragedy in Japan, and inspired by our fans, we set to work on #SINGItForJapan, a re-imagining of SING.

Dozens of musicians donated their time and talent to help bring this song to life. To complete the video, thousands of fans across the world submitted video, artwork, and pictures to show their love and support.

Using classic Japanese themes in the orchestration, we hope we have honored and paid tribute to the people of Japan. All of our proceeds from the sale of this recording goes directly to the American Red Cross.

Thank you for all of your support.
