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.

All You Need Is Love: Charity Song For Japan's Afflicted Areas

Image
For the victims who still suffer from the massive damages of the last year's Japan earthquake and Tsunami, great 30 Japanese musical artists performed a joint session under a rehabilitation project run by those relevant to the country's music industries. Even though their choice, All You Need Is Love , is relatively old-fashioned and is not even a Japanese song, they have chosen it because the song still has a great power to attract people around the world; and so they thought that it is possible to benefit form the West as well as the legendary band.  Source(s): http://www.youtube.com/user/JAPANUNITEDwithMUSIC?feature=watch http://rocketnews24.com/2012/01/27/176498/ http://www.youtube.com/user/RiseAgainProject?feature=watch

AlJazeera - Fukushima: Japan is Guilty of World's Worst Sea Contamination

Image
Fukushima's nuclear explosion inflected intolerable damage not only on the inland, but also the sea. Despite the fact that the Japanese government has been seeking solution to the disastrous issue, they seem having no effective plan to stop the heavy sea contamination sprawling further and further across  the surrounding areas of Fukushima. Pictures below are highly polluted flowers found in Japan. Source(s): http://blog.livedoor.jp/christmas1224/archives/6426055.html

Nuclear Explosion in Iran

Image
According to The Times, a British newspaper, a nuclear explosion was occurred on November 28th in Isfahan, Iran's third largest city, and suggest a military strike as a possible cause of the explosion. Due to the risk of the explosion, the U.K. and Norway closed their embassy in Iran, and France, Germany and the Netherlands are about to close their embassies in the country. At the same time, Iranian ambassadors in European major countries in the inclusion of the U.K, France, Germany, Italy and Norway were departed to their homeland in response to the incident, which Iranian students break in British embassy in Tehran. Accordingly, tension is growing between Europe and Iran.

Baba Vanga: the Greatest Clairvoyant Ever

Image
Along with John Titor, who suddenly appeared on the Internet in 1998 with a number of predictions that would happen in the future with detailed explanations as well as is considered as a time-traveler came from the future - the year of 2036, Baba Vanga, a Bulgarian blind female, has also left lots of significant predictions until her death in 1996; and unlike Titor, she is considered as a clairvoyant, who could clearly see our tomorrows - even the end of human being. Baba Vanga Words she left actually didn't make any sense back then due to the fact that her explanations were too abstract; however, her predictions have thrown those who knew what she said into great impact when events she predicted became true.  For example: "At the turn of the century, in August of 1999 or 2000, Kursk will be covered with water, and the whole world will be weeping over it." (1980)  Twenty years after the prediction, a Russi...

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.

Fukushima-Resisterd Cars were under Attacks in Tokyo Disneyland

Image
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants being melt down, Fukushima citizens have suffered from unending harmful rumors across the nation. Recently, a number of Fukushima-registered cars' windows were broken, or sprayed "Go Home" continuously.  The victims ask Twitter users to re-tweet the cases in Japanese.  For this issue, Japanese Net-users posted: "Parking area is not a dream world." "Micky-Mouse did." "That's false." "Tokyoite did" Source(s): http://tabisuke.arukikata.co.jp/ds/r/203/r/20012/r/20283/6/DomesticSpot/4106/p/1/ http://read2ch.com/r/news/1313508145/

Half of Fukushima Children Are Exposed to Radiation.

Image
Fukushima children yelping with delight in Okinawa. A shocking news is revealed. According to the study conducted on 1,000 Fukushima children, half of them are found to be exposed to radiation. At the last conference of Japan Pediatric Society conducted in Tokyo, Satoru Tashiro, a professor of Hiroshima University, stated that their exposure doesn't jeopardize their lives soon. The results will be sent to their parents next week. For this issue, Japanese Net-users posted aggressively thoughtless and heartless comments on an electric board, aiming their attack on the innocent children who has been exposed to radiation. Can they still have such thoughtless ideas as knowing the fact that the children resign themselves to living with the reality? Chernobyl had already experienced a nuclear disaster way before Fukushima did; a number of sad stories, therefore, are reported and they could happen to Japanese, especially those who live in the pre...

150 Nuclear Plants Workers in Fukushima are Still Missing.

Image
On august 8, TEPCO (Tokyo Electronic Power Company) announced that they can't get in contact with 150 workers in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants. Even though TEPCO has tried to manage in-and-out of their workers with IDs, hand-writing name lists and the like, they couldn't find 150 of them. Until March 11's greatest incidents than ever before occurred as well as brought on the country's largest nuclear accident, 1999's Tokaimura Nuclear Accident was the biggest of the kind, resulting in two workers's deaths. Recently, a picture that shows the nuclear damage's progression in one of the victims of the accident bears a little attention on the Internet. If you want to see the progression, click the link below. http://blog-imgs-46.fc2.com/c/h/e/cherio1222/0372602a.jpg This is another picture of exposed person of the other nuclear accident. http://blog-imgs-46.fc2.com/c/h/e/cherio1222/231108456747-up41591.jpg Even after the Fuku...

Nuclear Radiation Level of Greater Tokyo's Soil.

At 13:45, August 8, Japan's Radiation-Defense Project Team uncovered nuclear radiation level in the Upper House Member's Hall. A Greater-Tokyo's Map Greater-Tokyo's Radiation Level. Ibaraki: 210,000 Bq/m2 Tokyo: 240,000 Bq/m2 Chiba: 450,000 Bq/m2 Saitama: 920,000 Bq/m2 Reference: Chernobyl's Districts. The First District: 1,480,000 Bq/m2: No Trespassing. The Second District: 555,000 Bq/m2;Residents obligatorily move to other areas while the area is not allowed to be utilized as farmlands. The Third District: 185,000 Bq/m2; Heavily-polluted area. 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.

10,000sVr of Radiation in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Image
On August 1st, 10,000sVr of radiation was measured in-between air-stack of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor building and Daini nuclear reactor building. Immediately after the detection of the radiation, the government sealed off the area. That result was unprecedentedly risky more than ever. Since the day tsunami took everything from the affected town and cities, the area within 20-kilometer radius of the plant has become mystery; nobody knows what is truly happening there. The Diet failed to swipe skeptical thoughts of people in general about the nuclear disaster due to the fact that they lately announced the true situation of the power-plants: melt-down of the reactor building and so forth. The current situation around Japan is big challenges: reconstruction of the affected areas, nuclear disasters, Yen appreciation, strained relations with China and South Korea, American financial disaster, and more. While the situation of the area...

Japanese Media Pass Yamamoto with Silence

Image
Almost daily, Japanese media has covered Chinese bullet-train's accident in which more than approximately 300 people lost their lives, and claim against Chinese  Communist Party's cover-up operations which they try to decrease the number of the victims. While Japanese media enjoy the neighbor's sorrow, they refuse even to comment on a Japanese actor, Tarou Yamamoto (山本太郎) , who resigned his entertainment agency after the tsunami disaster in March to start his own anti-nuclear-power-plants activity. "What the Japanese government is doing is nothing other than giving up their own future," said Yamamoto in his speech in Ryukoku University (龍谷大学 ), Kyoto . Travelling around Japan, especially affected prefectures, he tries to let general people know what is truly happening in his home country as well as be the incentive to let them think of what they can do to reconstruct Japan without depending on nuclear powers. On the Internet, such as YouTube or his own Tw...

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...

In the Face of the Realities

Image
With the fact that the last major earthquake happened in the 11th, Japanese media call it as the "3/11," comparing with "9/11," and Japanese media reported the current status of tsunami-wrecked areas as dramatic as possible. Such over-earnest media circus went toward termination as days have advanced. Almost a couple of weeks down the line, the eastern-half of Japan is experiencing minor tremors of the Tohoku-Kanto Earthquake, the Japanese government has failed integrating all incoming and outgoing information of damages being wrecked in the major quake, tsunamis and nuclear leakage in Fukushima, preventing the public to erase a skepticism toward the Diet. During a week after the quake, all Japanese televisions stopped broadcasting their regular programs; from a following week, however, they started their regulars - comedians behave as if nothing happened - all at once as though distracting audiences from realities in the face of hazardous nature of the radiologi...
