This is a collection of "Meets Regional" magazines from Keihanshin L Magazine, related to the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake: * All 12 issues from 1995, the year of the earthquake. * All 24 issues from the following two years. * The January 1998 issue, which features a special on Kobe after the reconstruction. It's a painful memory, but 30 years have passed, and I believe those affected can now reflect on it with a calmer perspective. I also think it's good material for those born after the earthquake to learn about the city at that time. I've only read them myself, so there's some yellowing, but the condition is generally normal for their age. There are many issues, but I want to avoid scattering them as historical materials related to the earthquake. I would like to offer them to someone who understands this. Synopsis: Each issue was released one month before the cover date (for example, the January 1995 issue was released in December 1994). It is also thought that the editing work was done one month before the release. Perhaps because of this background, although the earthquake occurred in January 1995, a message of sympathy was published under the table of contents of the March 1995 issue. In the April, May, and June 1995 issues, there were situation reports called "Letters from the Disaster Area." There, the "indifference" of neighboring municipalities and the media was severely criticized in the casual writing style unique to magazines. And finally, in the September 1995 issue, a special feature on Kobe was created. This means that the city had begun to move enough to be able to conduct interviews around July, two months prior, and I was overwhelmed by the speed of the recovery. Initially, major media outlets said that it would take 10 years to recover, so I was proud of the strength of my city. Time passed, and in the January 1998 issue, a special feature on the city that had successfully recovered was created. Self-Introduction: I was born and raised in Kobe and am now 60 years old. My relatives in Higashinada had their houses completely destroyed, but my parents' house in Suma was only partially damaged. Fortunately, none of my relatives were injured or suffered health problems due to the earthquake. I myself was living in an apartment near Nishi-Akashi Station at the time. My home was only damaged by furniture falling over, and electricity and water were restored soon after. Immediately after the earthquake, the Sanyo Main Line was operating west of Nishi-Akashi, and I commuted to Himeji while my house was a mess. I could buy Meets Regional at a bookstore in Himeji. I was a fan since the first issue, but I don't remember at all what my state of mind was like, continuing to buy the information magazine when the city was in a state of devastation and there was nowhere to go.
