AMT4SWA, is very helpful. He shares/posts lots of useful information here.

Tokyo, Japan population: 34,100,000

World big cities are highly fortunate/lucky that no magnitude 9 Earthquake had its epicenter direct or close to big city. But for how long? Big cities are responsible for many world sins

I think Japan Earthquake is final warning. It could have easily hit tokyo. If this magnitude 9 Earthquake had directly strike Tokyo then I am sorry to say nobody would have survived.
 
2011 Sendai Earthquake and Tsunami

This earthquake released a surface energy (Me) of 1.9±0.5×1017 joules,[40] dissipated as shaking and tsunamic energy, which is nearly double that of the 9.1-magnitude 2004 Sumatran earthquake that killed 230,000 people, and flung the 2,600 ton Apung 1 ship 2-3 km inland. "If we could only harness the [surface] energy from this earthquake, it would power [a] city the size of Los Angeles for an entire year", USGS director Marcia McNutt said in an interview.[41] The total energy released (Mw) was more than 200,000 times the surface energy and was calculated by the USGS WPhase Moment Solution at 3.9×1022 joules,[42] slightly less than the 2004 Sumatra quake. This is equivalent to 9.32 teratons of TNT (approximately 600 million times that of the Hiroshima bomb) and roughly 80 years of global energy usage, estimated to be 4.74×1020 J for the year of 2008.

I know you are a religious nut case so facts don't matter to you, but I will entertain you to some anyway.

1. Majority of tall buildings in Tokyo are earthquake proof and even a strong quake won't bring them down (but it will do some damage internally).
2. People died in the tsunami, only a minority of the casualties died because of the earthquake.
3. Tokyo is mostly protected from the dangers of tsunami. The same applies to Osaka, Hiroshima, Okayama and to a certain extent Nagoya on the eastern coast. The only (bigger) ones not protected are Miyazaki, Kochi and Shizuoka.

Is Tokyo protected from a radioactive cloud, EH???:mad:

Moves to rein in child pornography meet resistance in Japan

Faced with mounting pressure, Japan’s government has been forced to confront the country’s huge market in child pornography, raising hopes for a ban on possession of the material. But there's plenty of resistance

Faced with mounting foreign and domestic pressure, Japan’s government has been forced to rethink how to handle the country’s huge market in child pornography, raising hopes for an overdue ban on possession.

While it is illegal to produce or distribute child pornography in Japan, possessing it is not – an anomaly Japan shares with only one other G8 nation, Russia. The release last month of national police agency figures showing a dramatic rise in the number of known child pornography cases coincides with new calls for the government to take action. Yet, say campaigners, national legislators lack the political will to change the law
