I guess you know that a 5.00 hit in Japan about an hour or so ago.
13:50 If you search on UA-cam for the Indian media... It's disgusting!!! Even worse than CNN
American media had me concern I've alerted several people in Tokyo
@@elizabritton4039”in Japan” … I just went over that earthquakes are regional, we don’t even feel it in Tokyo or Osaka so I want to be clear because the media is not. When you mention a quake, say the location.
Happy new year glad you ok
Wonderful information about the size of Japan and your maps! Wow! That was extremely informative! I was in a big earthquake in Alaska, so your explanation of types of quakes was also enlightening. So glad you and your family are okay. My family are praying for the fast recovery of everyone affected.
Our sympathy and thoughts to everyone in Japan! Greetings from Greece!
Glad to hear you and your family are ok. I’m living in Okinawa and I totally understand Japan is in a earthquake zone
Thank you for this vlog. I completely understand and agree with what you’re saying. I grew up on an earthquake prone region then moved to a large metro city. I have also been frustrated by the sensationalistic reporting in media regardless of its subject or origin. I’ve also been on the receiving end of calls from loved ones worried for my safety because of the news they watched from far away. On one hand it does help the world care about those who are actually suffering from the affects of disaster be it natural or otherwise, but it also fosters fear mongering activity and conversation. In this case, the fear that Japan is dangerous/risky place to visit because of earthquakes has once again been reinforced. No matter where you are in the world when a disaster happens it is a regional event. However, it may be that not as many will care about the news story if it isn’t hyped. So if this type of reporting helps the people truly affected by this tragedy in some way then I am willing to accept it. Let’s just keep educating each other and understanding that ultimately we are each responsible for discovering truth in the right context and let’s not choose to propagate fear but rather hope that the people who are actually suffering will find strength to carry on and help for the things they need to move forward. I pray that those who are suffering and grieving for lost loved ones and property will find compassion and help for their needs. I am looking forward to a trip planned to Japan later this year.
Can’t blame people for the ignorance. They just don’t know. Have to turn it into a teachable moment. It works for kids, and sometimes adults who know they don’t know it all. Life is more fun when you don’t know everything 😂 keep learning.
I'm glad you and your family are safe. Praying for the people and animals in the affected areas.
Glad to hear you and yours are ok!
My wife is Japanese, but we’re in the US so have been paying attention to the news and Twitter etc.
We were just talking about how most Americans don’t realize that earthquakes there happen regularly but are regional, because the news here just says “Japan hit by earthquake” without qualifiers like North Eastern or some such.
Another thing we realized was that with so many people carrying phones, we get a very clear picture of what’s happening outside of the sensationalized news reports.
Thanks for the video, and Happy New Year to you folks!
明けましておめでとう！㊗️
明けましておめでとうございます🎍
Yes, to Japanese seeing the international media cover this like it’s the end of the world, it’s both entertaining (comedic) to hear the ignorance and also very disturbing. Stating the region is very important so as not to worry millions of people but it seems that is the point of the international reports 🤦🏻♂️ but we know better.
Those are just the headlines. All our articles specify the details of the earthquake location and such...
Hi John. Thanks for update. You are right when you say the sound of an earthquake is one of the most terrifying sounds. I lived in Kobe in 1995 in the Great Hanshin Earthquake but now live in Australia. For the first few years back here in Australia, every time I heard a low rumble sound starting or felt some shaking I would instantly be on high alert, with my heart pounding etc. it took some years to eventually get over this. Take care and thank you again. ❤
Thanks for sharing
That is PTSD, dear friend.
Crazy isnt it, I first heard the thunder or booming sound in Peru, I was there when a bigish 6 something came through and everyone was screaming and running from buildings, being aussie as well, i was like nah shell be right, didnt realise till a couple of days after when these chippys were plastering up a giant crack in the crappy building i was staying in how much the foundations moved and how badly damaged the building was. I dont feel safe there, but being in Japan at present It doesnt bother me at all, most buildings are safe, like the hotel we stayed in a few days ago 25 floors up, had an emergency survival kit under the bed, thats how well prepared they are.
The big impacts for everyone outside of the impacted region were the 10 minute delays to the shinkansen. But yeah Im glad in Aus we never hear that earthquake sound.
Actually I also remember seeing flashing lights in the sky in peru out the window at the same time and thought i was insane, aparently it happens too.
I was travelling through Kobe in 1995 on my way back to Meitoku Gijuku as a student.
Literally on a ferry and felt the swell!
But it is 100% different now with smart phones. The communication and pictures are both far worse and far better than the land line phones of 1995.
My thoughts to everyone living there and rebuilding.
Thanks for your insight, and glad to see you and your family doing okay. I, myself, am a survivor of the great Hanshin earthquake. It was a traumatic experience for me, going through shindo-7 tremor. My prayer goes to everyone in Wajima. I hope for their early recovery and people get their shelters from the cold.
I’m glad you were okay after that one, in the simulator, the speed was terrifying! And up and down quake when everyone was sleeping 😢 can’t forget it and must all learn from it to save lives.
I'm happy that you and the family are safe John! Sending prayers 🙏
Relieved to know your whole family (including Kanae's parents) is safe! It's so devastating that it happened on shogatsu, when families celebrated together. Praying for everyone in Japan, especially the ones located in Ishikawa. 🙏🙏
So glad that you and your family is safe and OK. I hope that the people affected will be OK soon and I send my condolences to the families of the people that died. Please be safe.
What a start of the year for Japan...... glad to see you ok, We follow the news back her in Europe, and this morning JAL plane in total flames!! , Thankfully, no passengers were hurt. Take care , our prayers are with you all in Japan . Love and Light from Amsterdam Holland 💞🌷
Thank you so much. I have friends too in Japan and what you shared is great info and clarified the situation.
Thank you so much for making this video. I was in Mito, Ibaraki during 3.11 and I'm due to go back to Tokyo in 3 weeks' time. Because of my experience, we're still carrying a mini earthquake kit as me and my partner don't live in an earthquake-prone country. It's very hard trying to convey to people how safe Japan is and the amazing efforts they put in to have the best disaster preparedness systems in the world
I'm glad that you're doing okay after the earthquakes and tsunami warnings! Take care and stay safe!
Happy to hear that you and your family are safe. Take care and stay safe! and Sending prayers for everyone in Japan.
So glad you’re and your family are ok. I grew up in Southern California and experienced plenty of earthquakes. I totally understand the scare factor of the situation. Love and prayers.
Glad you and your family are safe. I have an app and got the alert when the earth quake occurred. I was concerned when I saw it say it was a 7.2 at the time of the alert. Sending prayers also for everyone affected.
I'm glad to hear you and your family is safe! i think the best way understand how the media is working is if you take a large step back and take a point of view from a person who Japan is not their favorite country and they all know about Japan is Tokyo, Kyoto, 2011 (maybe), and the shinkansen. I tried to explain to my grandma (who heard the news about earthquake and never got the impression that Japan fell into the sea) what going on but she was like "what is Ishikawa" and I have to explain like the picture shown where things are located and she understood. People are always always always going to worry no matter what ( i know this as someone from California and had family from overseas calling us about the massive wildfires fires we had even tho at the time we not in danger. the whole highlighting the entirely country is common as they do that with states or other countries in the US and usually has important or recognizable cities with the actual location of the situation ) to make it worse it the holidays so people tend to go travelling away from home. im not sure how the non local media would explain stuff in more simple terms without causing more confusion for people who are not in the country and don't have a lot information about Japan in the first place.
John, you and your family,stay safe. Japan has extraordinary and resiliance and we know you will push through.
as always you bring informative videos John! Thanks! we are glad you, Kanai and Leo are safe!
So happy that you and your sweet family are well. Intentions of healing, love go out to those impacted by this earthquake. Much love and aloha from Hawaii ♥️
man this was so educational, thank you for posting this and providing insight from someone actually there.
Glad to hear you and your loved ones are OK. May God bless Japan eternally.
John, thank you for the update. Good, practical information.
Ironically, the earthquake video you referred to was how I became aware of “ Only In Japan.” Weird stuff.
Take care, stay safe and looking forward to the future.
I’m super happy to hear that you and your family are safe. I have only gotten the opportunity to visit Japan once. I landed May 3rd 2014 and there was an earthquake the very next day at around 5 in the morning. My first ever being from east coast USA , turns out it was a 6.0. Super unnerving to be at the mercy of the ground beneath you. Like someone put a quarter in the little spaceship ride outside the supermarket!
Thanks for posting this live stream.. firstly my heart goes out to all affected.. secondly I’m bringing my family over to Tokyo and Osaka on our first family holiday overseas since my first child was born 5 years ago and since this earthquake happened I haven’t slept and keep watching videos about it all and am really glad I came across yours because it is the first video to show me that we will hopefully be ok and that I don’t necessarily need to cancel this trip that my wife and kids are still so excited about.. if you see this and have any further comforting or reassuring advice that I don’t need to cancel my trip I’d love to hear from you.. thanks!! 🙏
I am so happy to see you and know you’re safe. Love you guys Love from Colorado USA 🇺🇸
Thank God your OK John. What's amazing about Japan is their building engineering. Of this earthquake was in any other country there would have been a massive death toll and destruction everywhere. I was watching videos of new and old buildings in Japan moving and rocking a lot and it all stayed together. It seems their building style allows flexibility and things ot slide over one another which dissipates the ground movement without amplifying it.
No, other Earthquake prone nations such as NZ also have reinforced buildings. It's not unique to Japan.
I'm glad y'all are ok. Blessings for you and your family in the New Year!!❤❤
I'm so glad you and your family are okay, thanks for letting us know. I continue to pray for the people in the Noto peninsula area. Thanks for educating us and for the link so we can learn more.
Good to hear you and your family are safe. I hope the people of Wayima are safe as well and that the damage isn’t bad.
Informative and nice video about impact of the earthquake in Japsn , that’s not an obviously a good thing but i’m glad that you’re ok 🙂Preparing in advance is always recommendable so i appreciate for any given advices therefore🙂Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year John🙂👍🎉!!!
Indeed, I know so many have questions and I cannot blame anyone for not knowing, it’s important to teach so people can be prepared.
Glad to hear that you and and the family are safe. Praying for those affected by the earthquake.
I am happy that you are safe.... Praying for everyone in Japan. Happy New Year
So sorry here about the earthquake.. prayers to all in Japan. Glad you’re family is okay.. 🙏
Great! Finally the kind of video and info I needed to find. Thanks a lot very thougthful of you to make this video
John, while I knew you were on the other side of the initial hit & Tokyo was okay, but knew it would open old wounds & emotional memories of 2011. Thankful all is well but heartsick for the loss of precious lives. Prayers from Montana.
It did, despite the small feeling of it in Tokyo, I knew right away it was a Shindo 7 somewhere. It was too long not to be. The swirling of the quake also scared me knowing wherever it was at, it was going to be bad. Simply, heart is sunk right now.
Wow I thought of you and your family immediately! I'm so glad you're safe!!
Thank you for the “but” part. That was very eye opening. News outputs all over the world are craving for images and as Japan is the most prepared country (so I think) it is very easy to get hands on those movies and pictures.
Almost anybody who’s never been to Japan has no idea of its geography (how big or small it is) and the impact of any given earthquake throughout the country.
That “but” part should be more relayed through the internet for people to understand.
Stay awesome Sir.
Wow thank you! My sister and her family spent their Holidays in Japan when it happened. But they were in Southern part so they only felt a little shake where they are. It’s the news that’s making it so big and people outside Japan panicked!
Happy New Year to you and your family. I am glad to hear that you are all ok. Thankyou for your information.
Your video is super accurate and I appreciate this video. I am Peter’s (Kyoko’s music friend from her collage days)friend and I found your channel a while back during Pandemic. I live in NYC like 28 years now & like your videos as if I am almost looking at my country from outside-in. Stay well & safe! Say hello to Peter & Kyoko when you see them. Naomi
I’m glad that you and your family are safe. I will make sure to add Japan to my prayer list this Thursday at my Bible study.
Glad you're safe AND a very informative video. Thank you.
So glad you and your family are ok. Wishing you the best for the New Year, stay safe.
Hello from Lithuania,i hope you and your whole family doing okay after the earthquake and no one is injured,sending big hugs to all of you and i really hope that you will feel good after that experience😊
Was thinking of you and other UA-camrs on here in Japan. So glad you are ok!
Happy to hear that you and your family are safe. sending prayers for everyone in Japan. Stay Safe. Happy New Year.
Btw
Funny how Sendai is on the other side felt the quake although they are way out..stay safe
We love you, God bless you and your family. Thank you for responding and telling us how you are doing. Again, God bless you!
Glad you’re ok with your family. I live in Vancouver Canada and this is a major earthquake zone with small ones on and off.
I agree with you about the news. This morning
Jan 2, the news reported about the Jal plane colliding with another plane bringing aid but they didn’t focus on. How many people were saved. They focussed on the bad stuff. We here in Vancouver could take a lesson from Japan. They are vigilant and on the job.
thanks John for all the info about earthquakes, i certainly wont believe the other news now, stay safe and a happy new year
Happy New Year, John...stay safe. Praying for the people in Japan.
thank you so much for a good insight of Japan regions earthquake- appreciate your dedication- stay safe and Happy New Year.
Glad you guys are safe and its always so sad to hear such things happens around the globe.. God Bless
Thank you John, this is very educational. Love your videos.
Hi John, i used to watch your vlogs years ago. Just saw your vlogs again by coincidence. Just want to say its great to see you still have the same great spirit as always. And i hope you are healthy and having great time as always. Cheers.
Thanks for the sharing and information. Pray for the needed. Take Care! and hope things is going better.
I have the NHK app on my phone and I get news updates from it, and I use it to watch as news from Japan and this earthquake was one of them. I'm glad that you and your family are okay, along with the UA-cam creators that I follow that live there in Japan. My prayers are with those that are affected by this disaster.
I am glad you and your family are well. Hope everyone revived from this disaster. 💜💜🇯🇵🇯🇵💜💜
Thank you, lots of great information here. I can rest better knowing more now.
Relieved you and your family are safe. Thoughts and prayers for the people in Wajima. Mahalo for the clarification regarding intensity and regionality of the quakes. I remember your prior earthquake simulation and safety video. Residents and visitors should be prepared.
My family in Japan had plans to go to Kanazawa and Shirakawa go from Jan 2-5 but cancelled even though hotel and Shinkansen resuming operations. Store shelves are empty due to supply chain disruption and restaurants without supplies. More prudent to let the locals recover and visit when things are stabilized.
Returned from a holiday trip to Disney Resort on 12/31 out of Haneda and just missed the runway collision and airport closure. Sheesh! Japan can’t catch a break so far this year.
Praying for a better new year. Stay safe!
Greetings from Brazil. We met in Naka-Meguro a long time ago. I was still in Japan in 2011, and am very scared of this latest earthquake. Be safe and strong! 🙏
I'm glad that you and your family are safe, John. My thoughts are with those effected by the quake.
Glad you and your son and wife are OK John, prayers are really going up to you guys. Take care.
I just discovered your channel, and i just wanna say Leo is so precious. Dont you just wish he stays little forever! 😂 And love how you present yourself in the videos. Keep up the good work. And glad that you guys are safe! 🇯🇵♥️
Thank you for the kind words, Leo is our world now and as much as we want him to stay a little guy, he’s growing so fast! Much love from Japan 🇯🇵
Happy New Year. I am glad you and yours are ok, John. I hope PvG and his are fine. I was worried about the people's of Japan. The news did get me rattled. I should have known better, yet, though earthquakes are common over there, they are still earthquakes. Thank you, John, for the comprehensive descriptions of what actually happened. I appreciate that you used maps to show us where it all happened.
Take care.
We’re okay - PvG is with family this holiday and doing well. I’ll try to catch up with him this month. It’s been a while.
🙇🏻 great video in difficult times for the affected areas.
I'm also in Tokyo, visiting friends and family (in-laws). We felt the earthquake, and as you mentioned, it was like being on a bus or a boat. Actually, I still feel as though I'm moving for some reason! Maybe psychological after-effects.
Was the first time for my kids to experience it. Luckily in Tokyo, we only felt the mild effects. 🙏🏼
thank you for the explanation!! im going to tokyo japan on march 20th to film my amazing experience again and enjoy this beautiful country..... glad your safe....
Did not know about the variances of earthquakes, thanks for the info, glad you are all safe😊
Glad to know that you and your family are doing well!
Glad you're safe. Great Shake Out another good place to be informed about earthquakes. Also, prayers to the JAL passengers too.
Glad to hear you and your family is save.❤Thank you for the information.
Glad that you and your family are ok! I am travelling to Tokyo next month for an academic conference, so I am keeping a close look at the news nowadays.
Whew !..... so glad you family are sound & safe ....Happy New Year !
Firstly to John and family, happy new year and good to see you safe.
I have been to another earthquake education centre near Odiaba. It serves a purpose but great to visit if you are on holidays.
Saw the Japan Airlines/Japan Coast Guard accident. I spent all night glued on UA-cam feeds. Thoughts for the servicemen lost who were assisting in relief effort.
Thank you for the easy to understand explanation to the world.
And thank you so much for making this video.
At that time I was in NIIGATA. It was a very strong shaking.
Glad you are doing well ❤we worried. My kids love your videos
Hi John, thanks so much for putting perspective on the coverage of disasters like earthquakes in Japan. I didn't message you yesterday because I kno you weren't affected by the Noto Peninsula/Ishikawa earthquake. It also didn't help, though that during the day the reports changed for how bad the quake was. The damage was obvious, though. But not in Tokyo. I grew up with lots of minor quakes when I was a kid in Tokyo. And we were hit with a scary quake in Sapporo one year during a visit to Nemuro. I've never been in a hotel that swayed so much... And Nemuro was hit harder, with streets split, and my mom's family memorial in the ohaka was destroyed and had to be rebuilt. I thought the coverage of yesterday and into today--just like you predicted--continues to make it seem like all of Japan has been affected. Your Bosai video was really enlightening, so belated thanks for making them.
So sad, my heart goes out to all the people of Japan. Also it good, to see that’s you and your family are safe.
Thank you for clarifying this earthquake in Japan. I am set to relocate to Sapporo, and I had no idea what the impact is there. This is very informative. Thanks again.
Its good to know you and your family are OK. You had a nice ride there, and i can empathize with what you are living since i am a 31 y/o chilean living in the capital Santiago, so i've lived two 8+ magnitude earthquakes. And the sound... its deafening (some of us in 2010 listened the sound previous to the movement, like a building site right in your side, a rumbling of earth moving) and here we dont have, even to this day, a preemptive alarm, so the things just hit when you least expect it (in 2015 i was driving, and had to stop in the street bc the movement didnt let me). Stay safe!
We were worried for your safety. So glad you are ok, thank you for this video.
Thank you ❤️ we’re all fine.
I have a friend in Ishikawa. Glad to know he's fine. Praying for those who have been affected. Love Japan!!
I'm so happy to know that you're ok 😢🙏🏻 praying that no more earthquakes with this degree of damage happened.
Happy to hear you and your family are good. My heart goes out to those not as lucky❤
Regards from Puerto Rico. Stay safe. We suffered a major earthquake back in 2020.
Thank you for update, and i would say ,it’s very informative .I also, understand how you feel , on how many oeople think and how the news media addressed the mater.I agree that Japan is well prepared for disaster. I myself was educated how to deal with earthquake . I l used to lived in Tokyo for more than3 decades. Anyhow, glad to hear you and your family are fine and safe.
Thank you, John very informative the epicenter was far from Tokyo…glad you are okay!
Glad that you and your family are ok, Sending prayers 🙏
Glad to learn that you and family are all ok. Love your vlogs. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Thankyou for your help we are going back in Oct/nov. Hope it will be ok then 🙏
I'm glad that you and your family are alright keep us intouch.
glad you and your family are ok , I found out just before going to work at around 7 am. Praying for the families that are suffering loss.
I am glad to hear that you, Kanai, and Leo are okay. Take care.
Thanks for the updates, didn't know it was direct hit to Noto, just donated to AAR Japan, wish you guys the best!
Glad you're safe, I hope to visit Japan someday and I'll be prepared
New to your channel. Found you through your Christmas wrapping video. I hope to visit Japan one day, it's a dream of mine. Thanks for sharing the culture. All the best
Thank you! This is my live streaming channel, I separate the content :) polished stuff vs live streams. I really appreciate it and welcome. Write me anytime.
Glad to know that you and your family are safe.
