Last month, parts of Japan were hit with devastating torrential rain. Game maker Square Enix has donated 5 million yen ($45,000) as part of an effort to help out.

 



Japan’s rainy season is typically between May and July. This year, the rains were particularly heavy in parts of the country.

 



In an official release, Square Enix announced:

 

Square Enix Group (the “Group”) extends its deepest sympathies and condolences to all those affected by the torrential rains in July, 2021.

With the hope to support the earliest possible relief and recovery of affected regions, the Group has made a donation of 5 million Japanese yen to the Japan Red Cross Society.

 

As Reuters reported in July, heavy rains hit the resort city of Atami, which is located approximately an hour from Tokyo. Landslides left three people injured, five people missing, and 22 people dead.

 

“There may be more heavy rainfalls and we need to be taking the highest caution,” said Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga at the time.



A week later, heavy rain warnings were issued for three prefectures on the southern island of Kyushu, with over 120,000 people ordered to evacuate. Later that month, there were also landslides Fukui Prefecture, and around 64,000 residents were ordered to evacuate in 16 different areas.
