JRTA4 marks the fourth annual fundraising event to bring Japanese speedrunners to Awesome Games Done Quick. This year, we need your support more than ever. For the first time, we are raising money to bring four speedrunners to AGDQ. [Poahr](http://twitch.tv/poahr) (#1 in the world) and [Yamayuu](http://twitch.tv/yamayuu1223) (#3) will be participating in the Yoshi's Island 4-player race. This race at AGDQ will be exceptionally rare; it features the top 4 players in the world, all with personal bests under 1 hour 43 minutes. [Zaraki](http://twitch.tv/zaraki_0427) and [Shoka](http://twitch.tv/shokashoka) will be participating in the Mega Man relay race, a unique competition that showcases the best players in several Mega Man games. They both will represent Mega Man 2. Both Zaraki and Shoka have times under 28 minutes on difficult. We ask for your help because the flight and hotel costs to do this are quite large. We hope as a trade off for your donation, you will enjoy our marathon this weekend, as well as the Japanese runners' participation in AGDQ.
