Tokyo-Yokohama population: 33,200,000
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.

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.
