Time-lapse: Fukushima Night Scene

Image
This is what does Fukushima look like. Since the last years's largest national disaster in Fukushima, influx into other prefectures of the country from Fukushima is accelerated, emptying in-and-around areas of the broken nuclear facilities. The video poster bravely set foot on the soil of the ghost town, which would take another 30 or 40 years to decontaminate the area to make it livable for people, as well as took a beautifully-organized video.

The First Anniversary of the Japan Earthquake And Tsunami

Image
During the first year after the greatest earthquake and tsunami ever recorded, Japanese people's sense of value seemed changing, while the strong wish for the reconstruction of the afflicted areas, in fact, are gradually faded away from their minds.  Without having any directions to lead the so-called world's third economic power, the government and even opposing parties, who were able to do nothing other than claiming against the governing party's proposals, haven't done anything. Meanwhile, people in the greater Tokyo region, who live under the fear of the next possible huge earthquake to hit the capital, still keep living in the same place as they did before the catastrophe.  Not only in home but also in abroad, Japan is differently viewed today. Although the country had enjoyed high-reputation in the world with the myth of security, which is broken into pieces by the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear accident, foreigners tried to avoid living in t...

Truth Behind the Scenes: BBC's "Inside the Meltdown"

Image
As if nothing happened, we rarely have opportunities to know what is happening in Fukushima right now as long as living in Tokyo, while we have a lot of nobody-cares gossip news of Japanese celebrities.  Meanwhile BBC gave a behind-the-scenes coverage of Fukushima and the melt-down. Even though we feel something odd is going on, nobody puts it into words openly.

Darkness Rolling Up Japan

Image
Although people in Tokyoite enjoyed nice-and-clear sky during the day-time of Nove. 20th (JST), thunder-storms suddenly covered up the sky of Tokyo in the evening, and the sudden climate change bore a little attention on the Japanized version of Twitter. Since day the March-11-earthquake and succeeding tsunami left ever-lasting scars on Japan, people in Japan become acutely aware of any climate change as well as become careful to see it despite the fact that such behavior doesn't directly help them forecast any possible earthquake to hit the nation.  However, some geological specialists of the country argue that the nation will experience another huge quake within next 30 years; it, therefore, could happen tomorrow or ten years later. Who knows?  Source(s): http://rocketnews24.com/2011/11/21/154897/

Panasonic Is in the Greatest Disaster Ever

Image
Along with other Japanese major industries suffering from unending rise of yen as well as the fact that they have neither any creativity nor technologies to compete with their rivals in foreign lands, Panasonic is terribly tormented by as much as three-hundred-billion-dollar red figure as well as the great decrease of its profit by 80% when compared with that of the last year.  Nevertheless the company has made a number of changes a few years ago in the inclusion of removing its original name " Matsushita " from the brand-name to integrate all departments of the company under its internationalized brand - Panasonic, relocation of its headquarters operations to Singapore as well as an absorption of Sanyo electronic industry; Panasonic made every wrong decision. Some argue that the company's fall is just a beginning that the crisis could jeopardize the continuation of the compa...

Will Fukushima Be the Next Chernobyl?

Image
The Japanese government revealed the fact that 51,756 Fukushima citizens left their home prefecture to avoid being exposed to radiation as well as get some jobs outside of their hometowns. The biggest destinations they are commonly leaving to are Yamagata (10,043), Niigata (6,119) and Tokyo (5,642). By comparison with other afflicted-prefectures's evacuee population (Miyazaki: 7,848, Iwate: 1,540), that of Fukushima is outstanding.

The Forth District: 37,000 Bq/m2; the district to block people from inessential pollution. Since March 11 in when the greatest earthquake and tsunami ever attacked Japan, the circumstance around the nation has worsened than ever before, including tax increase by financial deterioration, corporate downsizing, economic stagnation and cooped-up feelings. Not only does Japan rack with ...

G7 Passed over Japan.

Image
A meeting of Group of Seven (G7) constructed by world's major seven nations, including U.S., U.K., France, Canada, Germany, Italy and Japan, was promptly held in response of the downgrade of American government stock as well as was the first time in five months; the last time was held in March 18, shortly after the Japanese incident in Tohoku. President Obama held councils with prime ministers or presidents of other members of the group while they didn't even try to get in contact with Naoto Kan, the prime minister of Japan. For this issue, Japanese Net-users commented on an electronic board: "Why don't they rename it as G6?" "Letting Russia join in the group to name it as G7, they eliminated Japan instead of that." and more...

Japan's largest Opposition Party Is Out of an Ability to Learn

More than three months down the line, the largest earthquake ever recorded in Japanese history left lasting scars on the region, the three prefectures in Tohoku. Among the destructive features of the disaster, the impact the melt-down of Fukushima-nuclear power-plants gave to the rest of the world had been the strongest. As a result of that, plans relevant to nuclear-power plants in various parts of the world were demanded to modified dynamically; while the world started to seriously figure out replaceable electric generator among various choices. At the same time the whole world is shifting to the new phase, Sadakazu Tanigaki , the director-general of LDP: Japan's largest opposition party, repeatedly require the government to resume operations at nuclear-power plants in all across the country despite the fact areas in and around Fukushima power-plants had become unlivable place for at least three centuries. Additionally, until the end of 2009, LDP had been the governing party of...

Melt Down

On May 13th, 2011, Tokyo Electronic Power Co, inc (TEPCO) admitted the fact that the nuclear-power plants numbered one to three are melt down; and this fact should have been common sense in the Japanese government as well as the company. If this fact had been uncovered earlier, people in Japan would have experienced a great panic ever before, causing economical and political disorder in the nation. A couple of days down the line, none of Japanese media report the news as a lead story; instead of that, their focus is on a suicide of a Japanese talent who took her life at the age of 24. Some of the specialists mentioned the fact that the situation of Fukushima could be worsened than that of Chernobyl. Some Japanese Net-uses jokingly posted a comment, reading "well, we just need to wait for a few MILLIONS of years to wait for the attenuation of the nuclear materials. As you can see on the world map, compared with the size of former Soviet Union in national territory, it obvious...
