I get it -- no one wants to miss a "big one" -- but this level of concern is surprising to us...
Is NHK running disaster prep spots 24/7? Our family in western Japan is giving this all a big yawn lol...
Haha. I think it's a bit overblown, I haven't seen any shortages or bare shelves in my part of Tokyo at least. The only people who've spoken to me about the alert are friends who are new to Japan, everyone else has been fairly unphased...
