Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, 2011
This is a 26 minute long video I put together of the 2011 Japan Tsunami. This was the worst tsunami to hit Japan in the past 1,100 years, and even today they are still recovering.

Information from Wikipedia:
The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku (東北地方太平洋沖地震 Tōhoku-chihō Taiheiyō Oki Jishin) was a magnitude 9.0 (Mw) undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on Friday 11 March 2011,[2][3][8] with the epicentre approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 30 km (19 mi).[2][9] The earthquake is also often referred to in Japan as the Great East Japan earthquake (東日本大震災 Higashi nihon daishinsai?)[10][11][12][fn 1] and also known as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake,[13] and the 3.11 earthquake. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded to have hit Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900.[8][14][15] The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that reached heights of up to 40.5 metres (133 ft) in Miyako in Tōhoku's Iwate Prefecture,[16][17] and which, in the Sendai area, travelled up to 10 km (6 mi) inland.[18] The earthquake moved Honshu (the main island of Japan) 2.4 m (8 ft) east and shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in),[19][20][21] and generated sound waves detected by the low-orbiting GOCE satellite.[22]
On 10 March 2015, a Japanese National Police Agency report confirmed 15,891 deaths,[23] 6,152 injured,[24] and 2,584 people missing[25] across twenty prefectures, as well as 228,863 people living away from their home in either temporary housing or due to permanent relocation.[26] A February 10, 2014 agency report listed 127,290 buildings totally collapsed, with a further 272,788 buildings 'half collapsed', and another 747,989 buildings partially damaged.[27] The earthquake and tsunami also caused extensive and severe structural damage in north-eastern Japan, including heavy damage to roads and railways as well as fires in many areas, and a dam collapse.[18][28] Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said, In the 65 years after the end of World War II, this is the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan.[29] Around 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan were left without electricity and 1.5 million without water.[30]
The tsunami caused nuclear accidents, primarily the level 7 meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex, and the associated evacuation zones affecting hundreds of thousands of residents.[31][32] Many electrical generators were taken down, and at least three nuclear reactors suffered explosions due to hydrogen gas that had built up within their outer containment buildings after cooling system failure resulting from the loss of electrical power. Residents within a 20 km (12 mi) radius of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and a 10 km (6.2 mi) radius of the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant were evacuated. In addition, the U.S. recommended that its citizens evacuate everyone within up to 80 km (50 mi) of the plant.[33]
Early estimates placed insured losses from the earthquake alone at US$14.5 to $34.6 billion.[34] The Bank of Japan offered ¥15 trillion (US$183 billion) to the banking system on 14 March in an effort to normalize market conditions.[35] The World Bank's estimated economic cost was US$235 billion, making it the costliest natural disaster in world history.

location of the Tokyo edition, Yanaka, Ameyoko cho Arcade, Akihabara
jejeje（ ' jjj ' ）.Location of Amachan(NHK).
The TV drama series, Amachan, (NHK) has become something of a social phenomenon. A research company has estimated the economic effects of Amachan on Iwate Prefecture, where the drama is set, to be 3.3 billion yen this year alone.
Not only has the number of tourists visiting the location increased, but soundtrack CDs and related books are topping the charts, while the term Je, je!? a dialect phrase said when one is surprised ? looks set to become the buzzword of the year.
Amachan is NHK's 88th Renzoku TV Shosetsu (serial TV novel), a 15-minute program that is broadcast in the mornings, six days a week, for six months.
The storylines are traditionally coming-of-age tales of heroines, and there have been mega-hits in the past such as Oshin (1983) that marked a staggering 62.9 percent audience rating.
While the ratings for Amachan have been good compared to recent productions, it is the ripple effects that are unprecedented. Twitter hashtags of Amachan drawings have proliferated, with contributors including professional manga artists.
NHK announced that it intends to launch GMT 48, a group of local idols representing the 47 prefectures (two will represent Tokyo). It is a case of reality imitating fiction.
大船渡港に押し寄せる津波
Tsunami surging to Ofunato harbor
The Japanese text is followed by an English translation.
大船渡市を襲う津波の様子を捉えた映像。岩手めんこいテレビ大船渡支局記者が大船渡市大船渡町の高台から同地区の大船渡港を撮影。
港湾の岸壁に係留されたボート群が、徐々に上昇する水位を明らかにしていく。
静かではあるが、確実に上昇する水面は、いつしか岸壁からあふれ、せきを切ったように、激しく湾港内の車を流しだす。
岸壁は完全に見えなくなり、大きなコンテナ群が、マッチ箱のように押し流され、湾内の船も次々と揺さぶられ、傾き、転覆、座礁...していく。
波は勢いそのまま、市街地を襲い、家という家をのみ込み、バリバリという音を立てながら全てを破壊していく。
視界を遮るほどの激しい土煙が舞い上がる。
さらに、息もつかせぬ速さで、次は引き波の恐怖が街を襲う。
すさまじい勢いで、沖へ向かって逆流する波。流される途中で障害物にぶつかり崩壊する家屋や車...。
あらゆる物が、驚くべき速さで流され、残骸と化し、湾を埋め尽くす。
撮影者も「目茶苦茶だぁ」と何度も悲痛な叫びを上げる。
やがて波が収まるも、あらわになる変わり果てた街。
津波で起きた火事により、街のあちこちで黒煙が立ちのぼっている。
Footage: Tsunami attacking Ofunato city. A reporter from Iwate Menkoi TV Ofunato branch video records Ofunato harbor from high grounds of Ofunato city. A group of boats tied to the dock at port reveal the water level rising gradually. All is quiet, but the water surface is rising without fail. At a certain point the water begins to overflow from the dock, bursting out and furiously washing away cars within the port. The dock can no longer be seen and a flock of large intermodal containers are being pushed away like match boxes. Boats within the bay are being rocked one after another, then tilted, overturned and eventually stranded. Waves remain strong and attack the city, swallowing houses and destroying everything along the way with a ripping sound. A thick cloud of dust soars high, obstructing view. Without a moment to breathe in, the terror of backwash befalls upon the city. Waves flow back offshore with tremendous force. Cars and houses are being broken down, running into obstacles while being washed away. All sorts of objects are being washed away at an unbelievable speed, turning into wreckage and filling up the bay. It's all a mess!, the reporter recording the video lets out sorrowful screams. The waves eventually calm down and reveal a town that has transformed entirely. Due to the fire caused by tsunami, black smoke arises from all over town.

My JENESYS Experience
I spent way too long working on this video, and it's been a long time coming, but it's finally done! A short audio blog of my #JENESYS journey from back in March, covering the entire trip from #Tokyo to #KujiCity and back. Most of the video is actually composed of still images, so feel free to listen to it in the background in podcast form. The audio is pretty bad as I recorded most of it on my phone, but hopefully it's at least somewhat comprehensible. I'll try adding subtitles eventually. Any feedback is appreciated. :)
Thanks in no small part to Nitin, Meenakshi, Nithya, Pampa, Prasenjit, Priyanka, Varsha and Vivek for the images, and to everyone else for making the trip a memorable experience. Thanks also to Sayantan for a whirlwind tour of the most exciting parts of Tokyo!
A huge thank you to the great people at Sakuraa Nihongo Resource Centre who selected me for the trip and also to Embassy of Japan in India, The Japan Foundation, New Delhi and JICE for organizing the program every year.
Also, a huge thank you to the ふるさと体験学習協会 and the host families (especially our own アニキ family, Akira Yachi, 谷地幸恵 and お母さん) for their hospitality. 大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございました！

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku (東北地方太平洋沖地震, Tōhoku-chihō Taiheiyō Oki Jishin) was a magnitude 9.0–9.1 (Mw) undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on Friday 11 March 2011, with the epicentre approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 29 km (18 mi).
The earthquake is often referred to in Japan as the Great East Japan Earthquake (東日本大震災, Higashi nihon daishinsai) and is also known as the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, the Great Sendai Earthquake, the Great Tōhoku Earthquake, and the 3.11 earthquake.
It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900.
The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that may have reached heights of up to 40.5 metres (133 ft) in Miyako in Tōhoku's Iwate Prefecture, and which, in the Sendai area, traveled up to 10 km (6 mi) inland.The earthquake moved Honshu (the main island of Japan) 2.4 m (8 ft) east, shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in), increased earth's rotational speed by 1.8 µs per day, and generated infrasound waves detected in perturbations of the low-orbiting GOCE satellite.
Initially, the earthquake caused sinking of part of Honshu's Pacific coast by up to roughly a metre, but after about three years, the coast rose back and kept on rising to exceed its original height.The tsunami swept the Japanese mainland and killed over ten thousand people, mainly through drowning, though blunt trauma also caused many deaths. The latest report from the Japanese National Police Agency report confirms 15,897 deaths, 6,157 injured, and 2,533 people missing across twenty prefectures, and a report from 2015 indicated 228,863 people were still living away from their home in either temporary housing or due to permanent relocation.A report by the National Police Agency of Japan on 10 September 2018 listed 121,778 buildings as total collapsed, with a further 280,926 buildings half collapsed, and another 699,180 buildings partially damaged. The earthquake and tsunami also caused extensive and severe structural damage in north-eastern Japan, including heavy damage to roads and railways as well as fires in many areas, and a dam collapse. Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said, In the 65 years after the end of World War II, this is the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan. Around 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan were left without electricity and 1.5 million without water.The tsunami caused nuclear accidents, primarily the level 7 meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Pow ...
