2021/03/26(FRI) Olympic Torch Relay

Olympic torch relay for “Tokyo Olympic 2021” has started since yesterday, March 25th.
Honestly speaking, I feel it’s crazy and insane thing, because the government of Japan has not have any effective deals to solve the problems about Covid-19’s pandemic.

The government of Japan has been just trying to pose as “there is no outbreak, no epidemic and no pandemic. In order to pose as that, they forced the public health center to depress the number of diagnostic testing for Covid-19 nationwidely. They are look like to deal very well for solving pandemic’s troubles, but actually 8,000 people in Japan have already passed away caused by Covid-19. I surely know the government of Japan is a ill-nature which keep scandals secrets anytime, they have not improved it even they and citizens in Japan have damaged by wars and industrial pollution’s disease repeatedly. Also this time, what the government and LDP(ruling party) hope is that helding Tokyo Olympic games, even if the maximum numbers of victims would be occurred from it. They never think of our safety, our existence, i. e. our lives themselves. Yes, they have no humanity mind. It’s so horrible.

From the beginning, I have not been to agree with this Olympic, because many disasters have not solved well including TEPCO’s Fukushima Dai0ichi Nuclear Plant’s disaster. The total uranium amount in there are there are much more than the Chernobyl Fourth reactor’s one, nothing has succeeded to solve well except for cooling the plant by water. Then, what has been solved in total?
Japan is also a earthquake-powerhouse county, there are more than 50 nuclear power plants, too. Those plants’ reactors are all very old, all of them should be stopped eternally for safety.

By reasons of such things, I feel “to held Tokyo Olympic 2021 would be not good idea”. There are another problems and troubles to held it, too. Current PM Yoshinori Suga has actually said:”Once we start, we can’t stop”. Hey, It is exactly the same policy as the prewar Empire of Japan. Based on that idea, they started a war and lost. Failure has near perfect reproducibility in history, therefore I expect the same kind of lost will attack Japan widely.

I feel the above things in my mind with this time’s Olympic torch relay.
These things make me sigh only, never make me happy.

2021/03/21(SUN) M7.2

At 6:09PM(JST) on March 20th, Magnitude 7.2 level earthquake has occurred.

https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/map.html#5/38.994/140.867/&elem=int&contents=earthquake_map&lang=en

The Japan Meteorological Agency estimates that “this earthquake is an aftershock of the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011.”

Seismic Coefficient 7

I’ve found a video which is mentioned about the experience of “seismic coefficient 7” on YouTube.

In Japan, when the earthquake would be occurred, media report both magnitude level and seismic coefficient level. Also, the cars which you can experience the earthquake situation are available to learn by actual experience. This video must be used the car.

Well, these children experience the one what I had experience in reality. It was “Great Hanshin earthquake” which was occurred on January 17th, 1995.

At that time, I had lived in very old apartment which was built by wood and mortar, that shaking was like completely like this video, it made me absolutely scared, I was considering I would be going to die by that earthquake.

It was really horrible, unforgettable experience in my life.

2021/02/14(SUN) Magnitude 7.3

Magnitude 7.3 level earthquake has occurred at 23:08JST on February 13th, 2021.
In the beginning, the mass media says the magnitude level was 7.1, but later it has changed to 7.3.

The coverage area of earthquakes were very wide, it reminded us of “Aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake” in March, 2011. This time’s big earthquake may be aftershock of “Aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake” in March, 2011.

These earthquakes makes us to feel very scary, because Japan is a country which is powerhouse of earthquakes.

2020/03/11(WED) 9 Years Has Passed

March 11th 2011 is the day of “The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku”. Already 9 years has passed though, it’s very difficult for me to forget anything about that day.

Keep remember disasters memories in people’s mind is very tough, but I personally don’t want to forget things about them what I’ve experienced. Remember and remind them bring me to study again and again, it is the reason why I try to NOT forget them.

However, many of people in Japan might be not used to keep remind tough issues, they look like to try forgetting any tough issues from the huge disasters. Honestly speaking, I’m extremely afraid of their such a “try to forget” actions. The decision what they should forget might come from just their feeling, i.e. emotional reasons, not come from the technical or scientific reasons. It would make people to not be able to avoid next risk/crisis. Therefore, I’m afraid of their telling:”It’s already over. Everything is Okay, there is no any risk”…

Although remember disasters is very tough though, I want to keep my policy:”Try to not forget, for the future”, not only till now, also from now on.
