Hello,
Over the past 2 years I've been searching, collecting and archiving raw footage of the tsunami in Japan. I've searched the very depths of Youtube and Japanese video sites like Nicovideo for every exisiting video. So far I've hit a wall at about 250 videos. I've decided to come here and make this thread to see if there's a chance if any of the lost media fanatics possibly have a rare copy of tsunami footage. Perhaps not online for copyright reasons or it once existed but is nowhere to be found online now. I'm just looking for all footage that was ever published online for the public or broadcasted on local/international news stations. If you think you have any footage that is not on the list yet, please let it know!
Then there's also the case of never released home videos. For many reasons never published, such as privacy reasons, too disturbing/shocking or simply never uploaded to internet or sent to news stations because the filmer is not skilled/aware of video sharing and internet (most of the footage was recorded by elder fishermen in coastal/mountainous towns and villages). I highly doubt any Japanese people are lurking around here that could help but you never know.
If you think you possess or know where to find footage that is not on this list/map than please post it and let it know!

Currently there are only three video recordings ever published online from Higashimatsushima. Only 2 are found as you can see on the map.
