The following messages have been posted on Suga Shikao's official website. I want to extend a special thank you to Kanki for providing me with these translations.

Fukkou Shien (Reconstruction Support) LIVE, Start
2011-04-08

With large aftershocks, and the nuclear power plant problem...
Hard times are still to come. However...

Everyone at the location of the disaster,
And, everyone who is giving support

Music is something that is helpful, don't you think?

For me, that thing is having a live.

However, if it's an ordinary charity live, the local people could not come and it would use too much electricity. Because of that,

We thought about it,
How we could let the customers in,
We will provide a [Studio LIVE] clip for free!

If this is the case, it can be seen everywhere and,

Right now, those who cannot see it in the disaster area

Someday, there will be a day when you will, hopefully, be able to come and see it.

With the band mates, in the studio, the Live was filmed one time.

The song [Progress] was sung

Wholeheartedly.

To counter-measure the conservation of electricity, there was no elaborate production. However,

The clip became fully loaded with a home-made feeling.

From the quality, the soul's feeling will really reach everyone.

With this song,
Anywhere,
Even if someone is alone

If it can bring courage, I think that is good.

And now,
With support messages*
Kindly, please listen!!!!

I have omitted the link and instead opted to write support messages here for my translation. If you want to see the messages, you can do so through the Original Source.
**The mobile clip version will, most likely, not be available to those outside of Japan. I will be sure to keep everyone informed when the online distribution version becomes available.
