WHY? Auction Personalized Theme Song and Memorabilia for Japan Relief Efforts

by Emily Youssef

WHY? are holding an eBay charity auction to benefit Hands on Tokyo, a volunteer organization currently providing disaster relief after the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Up for grabs are original handwritten lyrics, mixing and mastering notes from recording sessions and test pressings. Bidders can head to Josiah Wolf’s eBay account, and all proceeds go to Hands on Tokyo.

The grand prize is “Golden Ticket #4,” a personalized song written for the winner. The highest bidder sends WHY? a few details about themselves, then Yoni Wolf cyber-stalks them for inspiring lyrics, and Josiah produces the song. Check out past winners on WHY?’s website.

Though supporting relief efforts in Japan was a no-brainer, peep other causes they’ve considered in the past.
