Fun fact: Japan has one of the most advanced earthquake early-warning systems in the world. It detects tremors, calculates the epicenter, and sends out warnings from over a thousand seismographs scattered throughout the country.
Guys I think we found the best reporter in history He remained calm and stated important facts and still takes note of the less important ones, he even told everyone in the highly effected areas to stay calm. And when the tsunami warning was issued he really made sure they were warned and pushed how urgent it was. That’s a good reporter if I’ve ever seen one
@@ene_n It may sound weird for those who live in the US but in Europe, like in Germany, paying for public broadcasting service is compulsory. Every household has to pay public broadcasting license fee regardless of whether the household has a TV or not.
It's terrifying just to hear him get cut off when he wants everyone to be cautious But they had to, if they want to send the signals quickly to all TVs in order to alert everyone that is in danger and save those who weren't notified
@Claudia Washington the sound doesnt do anything, its about the incoming signals, not the sound itself. It works for all tvs that are connected to television unless I'm mistaken.
“Protect your life! Evacuate Imme-“ is the scariest fucking line i ever heard in a alert. if i ever heard that i would call NASA to take me on-board one of their spaceships and fly to mars 😭😭
Scary as fuck to hear the person getting cut off. Ik it makes sense to do so, all channels are force muted to deliver some important information. But if the audio cut was unintentional and caused by the eq or the tsunami, that is some horror movie level alert
I experienced the 2012 earthquake in Japan (7.3 magnitures) and those warning signs still makes me feel so scared. I remember the neighbours running outside, tv warning signals and phone lines stuck. The eartquake was so strong and long and the fear of not knowing what will happen next and will the ceiling fall top of you. The big tsunami from one year ago clearly in your mind.
Inkaz2 Back during the recent 7.0 earthquake in Alaska, the news reporters, sure reported events, but they were calming the masses when aftershocks occurred, and before they went off, they had a genuine “be calm. The worst is over. You’re safe.”
Brilliantly done. He also understood clearly the absolute need for speed when dealing with a tsunami warning that close to shore. People had 8-10 minutes of warning all across Japan. It was a massive and very quick-acting natural disaster, with the combination of earthquake and tsunami being like a typhoon suddenly showing up and hitting with 8-10 minutes warning. You needed to RUN if you wanted to survive in some places.
Miiverse Yeah Bot They are referring to the tsunami in 2011 which killed 16000 (Estimate) people and caused the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant to melt down
The immediate switch to a calm warning to an alert warning terrifies me. The cutoff at the end, too. The fact the reporter said, “Please remember the Great East Japan Earthquake,” gives me chills. I’d be so scared hearing this.
The way that signal at the end automatically turns on their TVs and radios to an emergency broadcast is absolutely brilliant. It really shows the determination to keep people promptly informed and make sure nobody is getting left behind. In America emergency broadcasts are so much more of a suggestion than something designed to save lives.
@@kaitlinmcneelywell it's not feasible to have that happen across the entire USA. Japan is such a small country that radio waves can go all across the country and turn on tvs and radios, but in America affected areas are so spread out in events like these that turning on just the affected tvs would be nearly impossible.
Technically, we have a system that already does this - NOAA Weather Radio. The entire country is blanketed with radio transmitters that broadcast automated weather information, forecasts, and watches/warnings as they're issued. A dedicated weather radio receiver can pick up these broadcasts, and sound an audible/visual alert when one is issued for the county you're in. The modem-like screeching you hear at the start of an EAS message on Radio or TV is itself a digital signal (known as the S.A.M.E. Header) that can activate devices. NOAA designed SAME back in the 1980s for Weather Radio, and it was later picked up by the FCC for the broader EAS system in 1997. Being that old, it's simple and has some limitations, which is why FEMA and the FCC later developed protocols like CAP (for distributing alerts over the Internet and IP networks) and WEA (cell phone emergency alerts, also distributed over-the-air by PBS Stations as a backup). Despite automated alert information being readily available, its inclusion into TVs and non-weather radios was never mandated because lol this is America. Part of that, admittedly, is because the kinds of threats generally dealt with in the US (and which in turn formed the basis of alert networks) are a bit less time-sensitive than Earthquake Early Warning (wherein you need to get an alert out in seconds, because you only have seconds to react) or Tsunamis (which, in Japan, often strike within minutes). Things like Tornados and Thunderstorms are easily predictable, and the average warning time for them stretches from well over 15 minutes (for tornados) to hours. It will be interesting to see how California's new Earthquake Early Warning system changes some of this, as it now imposes the same requirements (alerts need to be distributed in less than a second over a wide area) onto our existing warning systems...which just aren't designed for that. We'll see what happens.
@@DrKoneko NOAA Weather Radio already covers the vast majority of the US' population, and for the rest tools like Satellite Radio or AM radio work quite well. We also already have standards for this designed -- just not the political will to mandate manufacturers take advantage of them.
This is a very professional anchor. He switched within a second to earthquake mode and reported the relevant facts with efficiency and clarity. Then when the Tsunami warning was released he escalated the tone and urgency. everybody who watched was warned.
@@PLAGUENTONIUM666 yes genius, the early morning show 'planned' to broadcast an earthquake alert. No, it's the smooth switch to earthquake news and the delivery of the relevant facts.
Remember that NHK announcers have been trained to raise their voice for tsunami warnings. The louder voice might sound like fear to us, but a Japanese viewer would interpret it as "this is even more serious".
If you watch the full broadcast, he starts speaking again after the beeps, these beeps are supposed to turn on non-digital TVs on max volume, if he spoke over them, a lot of people wouldn't get the warning
Btw, for those wondering why Japan is so active in seismic activity, it's because the eastern area is on 3 tectonic plates, and when they move against eachother... well... this happens
@@melete.delete Half as Interesting, a RUclips channel. Avery had a comment under one his videos in which HAI scrolled through the comment section of one of his previous video that also had Avery's comment in it. So, he got a 'shoutout' in a way.
This is not a Morse code, but a signal that forces the TV in sleep mode to turn on. In the target area of the tsunami, something like an air raid warning is sent by the disaster prevention radio.
Seriously, why does Japan seem like the loveliest place ever? The news anchors bow and say good morning (yeah, I know that bowing is customary in Japan and nobody gives it a second thought, but that's just another element of it I absolutely love), the news is presented in a friendly, human way, and they stay calm even throughout the warning.
I know tornadoes more than earthquakes and the same thing happens there. Watching the news channel in Jonesboro reporting on the tornado there was the same. He was just sitting there pointing out that there could be a tornado there and boom. In a couple seconds there it is ripping through town.
Not only chilling. My brain, though I've never been to Japan, knows the sound they use for the warning, yet it's way less scary to me than that repeated beep that other countries use. Could be the nature of the sound, could be the nature of me knowing it is about something that is happening where I am. The way he goes from insanely calm to very scared, is terrifying to me.
That string of rapid "beep beep beep beep beep" at the end is not for human but to turn on any television nearby to broadcast emergency messages (if I am not mistaken)
People are really like “uwu this is so cute so kawaii 🌸💖💘 not scary!!” no this is just terrifying- he’s so calm while explaining everything and then the end?! He gets cut off. imagine being in Japan. To us, it’s just ding ding but to them, it’s either a warning or the one of the last things one hears :(
Honestly it really scares me. Even the images that show up. Like when he gets cut off and it's silent for a moment with the red "x" and the tsunami line, followed by the radio waves after. Imagine waking up to that. I know how scared they all must've been. This video makes me really scared too.
Everyone's saying how this isn't creepy, but in my opinion it is. You can hear the fear and intensity in his voice when the reporter issues the tsunami warning. But I must say, this is a lot better than America's emergency alert system.
Maybe because he personally experienced this himself? I don't know how long the reporter has been in that station, but maybe during The Great East Japan earthquake, he probably was one of the ones that were affected horribly (probably his or his relative's homes were destroyed during the tsunami? Or he lost a loved one during the tsunami?) so maybe he's making sure that everyone is safe so that they would never lose their loved ones like he probably did.
Mostly because the beeps in the American EAS are actually full of information such as where the alert should go to, when the alert expires, who issued the alert, what type of alert it is, and more. It's using a technology called Specific Area Message Encoding, Google it if you're curious about it. The long tone after the 3 beeps is the attention signal, and it's meant to get your attention. The 3 short bursts at the end signal an End Of Message.
lol in Chile all channels start broadcasting out of nowhere and there's a news presenter saying sleepily "yeah there's an earthquake run and grab it shit bye"
Japan: Hello, an early earthquake alert has been set in. The following cities will be affected: *cities here.* Remain calm, and go to saftey. Do not stay near rivers and other stuff like that. We are now feeling it in our studio. The maximum is 5 in *cities here* *Proceed to show a real-time update on how strong it is and where it can be felt.* There is a fear of a tsunami if the seismic source is at the bottom of the ocean *a few second later* A tsunami warning has been issued. Evacuate immediately! EVERYONE REMAIN SAFE! Every single other country: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP YOU ARE FUCKED BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Honestly respect to the news anchors in Japan, they explain whatever is happening and where exactly it’s going to happen with clarity and detail, mad respect
Ngl the transition from the calm, collected earthquake warning to the urgency of the tsunami warning is honestly terrifying, even if you don't speak a word of Japanese
It's worse if you can't speak Japanese, you are in your hotel as a tourist and you see this, you know you will die if you stay and you don't understand what they want you to do
@@vibrantgleam man idk lol 😭 im not japanese nor do i know anything about their language, but this is what i would do if i came to japan and experienced an emergency like that
I think they learned their lesson from 3/11 that they should be more forceful in this situation. If you see the extended coverage, they put up a huge red box that just says "Tsunami! Run!"
William Haines this was the November 22nd, 2016 earthquake that took place off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture at 5:59am. The March 11th earthquake in 2011 occurred at 2:46pm off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture, and was much, much larger then this quake (magnitude 9.0 verses 6.9). The 2011 earthquake was so intense that the image the live cameras were showing at the time could not be clearly seen, simply because they were moving around so much due to the much stronger ground vibrations being experienced at the time. Plus the tsunami warning shown in this video is a lesser alert level then what was issued immediately after the March 11th quake (a major tsunami warning was issued for that one, and rightfully so...)
For everyone saying the alert is 'too quiet' and stuff, keep in mind that a more traditional siren-like sound will play from phones at the same time as well
Hello, I am Yunia, But my english name is Julia. I am using Google Translate, so do not mind improper grammar. I was in the 2011 Japanese tsunami. i got washed up by the waves, got knocked out, and Was very close to dying. Then, a doctor rescued me and landed in the ICU. His name was Hikari. We fell in love, and got married. We had twins in 2013, and named them Kay and Yuto. We also moved to Tokyo. On 2016/11/22, we were watching Good Morning Japan, When the alert popped up. It was a normal earthquake, so we did not mind, and we were safe. Then, the man's voice sounded alert, telling us a tsunami was coming. I had a panic attack, while the twins were giggling and babbling "tsunami! tsunami!" We hurried away from the ocean and caught a plane to America right when the tsunami hit. We loved america, so we sold our house and bought a fancy one. We moved to Raliegh, North Carolina. That is our journey, and the Japanese version Is below!! こんにちは、ユニアです。英語での名前はジュリアです。私はGoogle翻訳を使用しているので、不適切な文法は気にしないでください.私は2011年の日本の津波の中にいました。波に流され、ノックアウトされ、死にかけた。その後、医師が私を救出し、ICUに着陸しました。彼の名はひかり。私たちは恋に落ち、結婚しました。 2013年に双子が生まれ、ケイとユウトと名付けました。私たちも東京に引っ越しました。 2016/11/22、おはよう日本を観ていたらアラートが出ました。普通の地震だったので、気にせず無事でした。すると、津波が来るという警戒心の強い男の声が聞こえた。双子が「ツナミ！ツナミ！」とくすくす笑いながら、私はパニック発作を起こしました。津波が襲ったとき、私たちは海から急いで離れ、アメリカ行きの飛行機に乗りました。私たちはアメリカが大好きだったので、家を売っておしゃれな家を買いました。ノースカロライナ州ローリーに引っ越しました
And this is why the American system is far better. It instills the greatest sense of urgency to get the fuck out and save yourself and your family from whatever is coming.
The last strange sound is the Emergency Warning Bulletin signal by NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation). When this sound is heard, TVs and radios equipped with signal receivers are automatically turned on. This bulletin is mainly sent out when a tsunami is predicted.
For EVERYONE WHO THINKS THIS IS CUTE, just remember that these alarms are scary to japanese people like any eas. I crap myself everytime a America eas comes on but it barely does, if you lived in America, you would know that "This is not a test" would make you poop yourself, I heard an eas on in the living room when I was five, and I got so dang scared and I tried to sleep, also on topic now, this alarm may be cute to some people who think it's just a funny and cute noise, but it's actually a warning of disasters. So that's why you don't joke about natural disaster alarms.
It always freaks me out seeing these warnings come up on a live broadcast and just watching the people on TV go from lively to dead-serious in the blink of an eye, grinding to a halt and moving straight into emergency mode. In the US, these warnings usually get superimposed over the broadcast while it continues as usual in the background, only catching up a few minutes later so a newscaster can say, “Well, a tornado warning has been issued for this and that county, etc.” The immediate, live, real-time response to these warnings in Japanese programming gives me chills.
The difference is that Japan has a huge earthquake early warning system. They HAVE to announce it quickly before the major shockwaves hit. It's a fascinating system. Also, all the people on here saying the warning tones aren't "scary" enough, it's irrelevant. Japanese schoolkids are taught what that sound means, and it's against the law to EVER play that tone when there isn't a real earthquake. Because Japan is a society where people don't actively seek to hurt each other, they actually follow that rule. The newscasters are trained on what to do the second they hear that tone. Notice that he was immediately looking at his monitors to see which prefectures to announce, plus probably going over in his head the script they've practised many times. Finally, when he gets cut off at the end, that's because the automated tsunami warning system (which is connected to the earthquake system) comes on to send that tone. That weird tone it sends automatically turns on all TVs & radios in the affected area, to wake people up. It can also adjust the volume to be louder so that the alert isn't missed. Japan doesn't mess around when it comes to stuff like this!
In my honestly limited, but unbiased point of view, it's because Japan is at a FAR superior, FAR more constant risk of devastation by natural disasters, compared to the US, they're a kinda small island country with a pretty dense population that is pretty much always in danger of a massive ammount of death and destruction Just listen to how desesperate that guy got when he received the order to warn people of the tsunami, it almost makes your eyes swell up with tears how he suddenly gets really frantic at the thought of the tsunami ambushing people at 6 in the morning. And the way he tells you to "remember the Great East Japan Earthquake", jesus, that country's people are traumatized
The Japanese sounds very similar to the alarm that calls heroes to fight in "Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero". My brain just immediately associates the sadness of the anime with the sound and I feel anxious.
I’m British (no I really am) and I love Japan. I’ve been there before with my friends because Pink teleported us there. I still remember seeing this on a television in a hotel. I was terrified.
Fun fact! The tones are literally designed to be as annoying and ear hurting as possible so that way you stop what you're doing and pay attention to the warning!
@@dr.quackenbacker5247 he talking about the start noise which actually happens to make sure the alert is broadcasted to the right area the tone after that is an attention tone
The princess sound from the Japanese alert is actually a combination of dissonant minor chords - which makes it sound scary and provokes warning, but not to the level where it causes complete panic
I honestly never get the urge to cry, it's just not a common reaction I have. But when he gave the tsunami warning in that urgent voice, I unexpectedly just broke out in tears. I don't know where it came from all of a sudden.
My sister was in Ibaraki when this happened. She was telling about how freaky it was. Earthquake woke her up and a few minutes later the cops were driving up and down the streets with megaphones telling people to go inland immediately
Most Japanese are accustomed to earthquakes and are not shaken by a seismic intensity of 4. Tsunamis, however, are an exception. More than 90% of the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake were drowned by the tsunami. We are reminded of the Great East Japan Earthquake when we hear of a tsunami coming.
UK: Now, onto our next top story, it has appeared that there is a big tsunami warning bound for the coasts of the UK. Now here's our environmental analyst [insert name here] over in Blackpool to find out why...
what a great way to alert everyone! literally scare them again by another nuclear explosion. on the other hand, if the radioactive fallout was JUST as Chernobyl - Japan wouldnt exist at all. its roughly 1/10th of it.
@@somerandomone They wanna scare people by a bit because when the march 2011 earthquake happened, people did not take it seriously. So nhkG made that way.
Japan's earthquake early warning is issued for areas where seismic intensity 4 or higher is estimated. The margin of error is only a few tens of kilometers when comparing the area where the earthquake was announced with the area where intensity 4 was observed.
i think the most haunting part of this is when the reporter's tone goes up when the tsunami warning comes through. he urges his viewers to evacuate, bringing up past tragedies as a reminder to take this warning seriously, lest they suffer the same fate as they did. then he got cut off as he was warning them.
@@beauboi3381 Fukushima nuclear disaster, it was caused due to the earthquake and tsunami and remains one of the most catastrophic nuclear disasters in history.
A fun fact I just learned is that the Morse-code like sounds at the end is an encoding service called “1seg”, and its purpose is to turn on every television and radio that supports it, and tunes it to NHK in the event of a Tsunami warning.
That's not the sound. 1seg is a mobile TV platform with reduced quality, occupying 1 spare segment of ISDB-T transport. And it's fully digital. ISDB-T also defines a signaling protocol for data transmission, which is used for sending digital signals to override standby mode and volume controls. Sound, on the other hand, is an analog FSK transmission used by analog TVs to do the same thing - as analog TVs don't speak ISDB at all. Also when an analog TV is used with an external ISDB-T box, the digital message will override standby and volume on the box, while FSK transmission will pass through to the TV and do the same thing on the TV.
similar with the eas in usa. the three tones at the begining tell special hardware information to give you the alert, location based, who issued the alert, when it expires, when it was issued, where its for, what the alert is, etc
They are trained to be calm during these events. I saw a footage of people in an airport during the 2011 earthquake. All they did was sit down and remain calm. Unlike some people in my country...
For the people who wants to know about this (2:36) "Morse code like" alarming sound: This warning sound is called "Kin'-kyu Kei-hou Ho-So" (pronounce like: Kin'-cue Kei-haw Haw-saw), which means "Emergency Warning System / Emergency Warning Broadcast System"(EWS/EWBS) in Japanese. The sound itself is for analog tv/radios which aim to force switch the tv/radio on to tell the people that Tsunami warning by JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency) or Evacuation warning by local government had been issued. (but almost all tv/radios didn't have that feature implemented) The analog warning sound is coded with FSK modulation, 96bits long (start signal) and 192bits long (end signal), speed is 64bps. (one block of start signal is 1.5sec long, end signal is 3sec long, start signal repeats 4-10 blocks, end signal repeats 2-4 blocks) The sound in 1024Hz is "1", and the sound in 640Hz is "0", includes information that the warning starts/ends, areas of warning issued, date/time or so on. For the digital tv, the EWS/EBWS signal is digitally coded and send through TMCC (Transmission and Multiplexing Configuration and Control, means Transmission Control Code) and MPEG-TS signal, so the warning sound itself is not always necessary, but analog warning sound is still used for alarming purpose. You can read details of technical information of EWS/EBWS below (the document is written in Japanese): www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/itej/61/6/61_6_761/_pdf/-char/ja
@@O7- the alert sound turns on every tv and radio capable of decoding this audio signal (every tv and radio in japan nowdays). in most recent tvs, it also maxes the volume automatically
@@officialbeans think of dial up and your own eas those weird sounds are code being transmitted. like a phone call. your tv picks it up and hears "turn on and max volume, go to this channel" your tv listens and follows instructions usa eas tests follow the same those tones have all the info like if its a test or not, where its located and how long it will last. the tv provider will descramble the code as for dial up the whole thing is your computer talking to your phone
If anyone is wondering the code at the end is to literally have TVs and such turn on and tune in automatically. Also the last few beeps indicate the magnitude of the earthquake and tsunami

Damn they cut him off real quick... that would scare the living hell out of me. Japan sure knows how to get the message out.
Love Is All You Need I guess they practice it quite often too as it is very likely to be needed
Well, they had to do that. Otherwise, his voice would have drowned out the alert sound.
Cut him off after the first news headlines beep just as he was about to speak ....
sorry if English is bad :) us in Japan is very prepared she since 2011 9.0 quake. It's scary but we get our buts up and run.
moonplayz that's good to know man. Keep safe there always.
The way how the alarm goes from a calming “hey listen” to a “RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.” Is chilling.
I know tornadoes more than earthquakes and the same thing happens there. Watching the news channel in Jonesboro reporting on the tornado there was the same. He was just sitting there pointing out that there could be a tornado there and boom. In a couple seconds there it is ripping through town.
@@13_cmi when i was in ohio
Not only chilling.
My brain, though I've never been to Japan, knows the sound they use for the warning, yet it's way less scary to me than that repeated beep that other countries use. Could be the nature of the sound, could be the nature of me knowing it is about something that is happening where I am.
The way he goes from insanely calm to very scared, is terrifying to me.
That string of rapid "beep beep beep beep beep" at the end is not for human but to turn on any television nearby to broadcast emergency messages (if I am not mistaken)

I love how his voice cuts from calm to terrified once the tsunami warning occurs at 2:17
People are really like “uwu this is so cute so kawaii 🌸💖💘 not scary!!”
no this is just terrifying- he’s so calm while explaining everything and then the end?! He gets cut off. imagine being in Japan. To us, it’s just ding ding but to them, it’s either a warning or the one of the last things one hears :(
Honestly it really scares me. Even the images that show up. Like when he gets cut off and it's silent for a moment with the red "x" and the tsunami line, followed by the radio waves after. Imagine waking up to that. I know how scared they all must've been. This video makes me really scared too.
Everyone's saying how this isn't creepy, but in my opinion it is. You can hear the fear and intensity in his voice when the reporter issues the tsunami warning. But I must say, this is a lot better than America's emergency alert system.
Canada's is fucking scary
Maybe because he personally experienced this himself? I don't know how long the reporter has been in that station, but maybe during The Great East Japan earthquake, he probably was one of the ones that were affected horribly (probably his or his relative's homes were destroyed during the tsunami? Or he lost a loved one during the tsunami?) so maybe he's making sure that everyone is safe so that they would never lose their loved ones like he probably did.

Mostly because the beeps in the American EAS are actually full of information such as where the alert should go to, when the alert expires, who issued the alert, what type of alert it is, and more. It's using a technology called Specific Area Message Encoding, Google it if you're curious about it.
The long tone after the 3 beeps is the attention signal, and it's meant to get your attention. The 3 short bursts at the end signal an End Of Message.

William Haines this was the November 22nd, 2016 earthquake that took place off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture at 5:59am. The March 11th earthquake in 2011 occurred at 2:46pm off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture, and was much, much larger then this quake (magnitude 9.0 verses 6.9). The 2011 earthquake was so intense that the image the live cameras were showing at the time could not be clearly seen, simply because they were moving around so much due to the much stronger ground vibrations being experienced at the time. Plus the tsunami warning shown in this video is a lesser alert level then what was issued immediately after the March 11th quake (a major tsunami warning was issued for that one, and rightfully so...)
For everyone saying the alert is 'too quiet' and stuff, keep in mind that a more traditional siren-like sound will play from phones at the same time as well
Hello, I am Yunia, But my english name is Julia. I am using Google Translate, so do not mind improper grammar. I was in the 2011 Japanese tsunami. i got washed up by the waves, got knocked out, and Was very close to dying. Then, a doctor rescued me and landed in the ICU. His name was Hikari. We fell in love, and got married. We had twins in 2013, and named them Kay and Yuto. We also moved to Tokyo. On 2016/11/22, we were watching Good Morning Japan, When the alert popped up. It was a normal earthquake, so we did not mind, and we were safe. Then, the man's voice sounded alert, telling us a tsunami was coming. I had a panic attack, while the twins were giggling and babbling "tsunami! tsunami!" We hurried away from the ocean and caught a plane to America right when the tsunami hit. We loved america, so we sold our house and bought a fancy one. We moved to Raliegh, North Carolina. That is our journey, and the Japanese version Is below!!

The last strange sound is the Emergency Warning Bulletin signal by NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation).
When this sound is heard, TVs and radios equipped with signal receivers are automatically turned on.
This bulletin is mainly sent out when a tsunami is predicted.
For EVERYONE WHO THINKS THIS IS CUTE, just remember that these alarms are scary to japanese people like any eas. I crap myself everytime a America eas comes on but it barely does, if you lived in America, you would know that "This is not a test" would make you poop yourself, I heard an eas on in the living room when I was five, and I got so dang scared and I tried to sleep, also on topic now, this alarm may be cute to some people who think it's just a funny and cute noise, but it's actually a warning of disasters. So that's why you don't joke about natural disaster alarms.
It always freaks me out seeing these warnings come up on a live broadcast and just watching the people on TV go from lively to dead-serious in the blink of an eye, grinding to a halt and moving straight into emergency mode. In the US, these warnings usually get superimposed over the broadcast while it continues as usual in the background, only catching up a few minutes later so a newscaster can say, “Well, a tornado warning has been issued for this and that county, etc.” The immediate, live, real-time response to these warnings in Japanese programming gives me chills.
The difference is that Japan has a huge earthquake early warning system. They HAVE to announce it quickly before the major shockwaves hit. It's a fascinating system. Also, all the people on here saying the warning tones aren't "scary" enough, it's irrelevant. Japanese schoolkids are taught what that sound means, and it's against the law to EVER play that tone when there isn't a real earthquake. Because Japan is a society where people don't actively seek to hurt each other, they actually follow that rule.
The newscasters are trained on what to do the second they hear that tone. Notice that he was immediately looking at his monitors to see which prefectures to announce, plus probably going over in his head the script they've practised many times.
Finally, when he gets cut off at the end, that's because the automated tsunami warning system (which is connected to the earthquake system) comes on to send that tone. That weird tone it sends automatically turns on all TVs & radios in the affected area, to wake people up. It can also adjust the volume to be louder so that the alert isn't missed. Japan doesn't mess around when it comes to stuff like this!
@@AureliusR No one would mess around after the lost of 19,000 people.
In my honestly limited, but unbiased point of view, it's because Japan is at a FAR superior, FAR more constant risk of devastation by natural disasters, compared to the US, they're a kinda small island country with a pretty dense population that is pretty much always in danger of a massive ammount of death and destruction
Just listen to how desesperate that guy got when he received the order to warn people of the tsunami, it almost makes your eyes swell up with tears how he suddenly gets really frantic at the thought of the tsunami ambushing people at 6 in the morning. And the way he tells you to "remember the Great East Japan Earthquake", jesus, that country's people are traumatized

Error: América it's a continente, the real mame is EUA or EU

I’m British (no I really am) and I love Japan. I’ve been there before with my friends because Pink teleported us there. I still remember seeing this on a television in a hotel. I was terrified.

That princess sound is more scarier than you think

The princess sound from the Japanese alert is actually a combination of dissonant minor chords - which makes it sound scary and provokes warning, but not to the level where it causes complete panic
The screeching holds very valuable information about the warning and a lot of other things. Look up Specific Area Message Encoding.

A fun fact I just learned is that the Morse-code like sounds at the end is an encoding service called “1seg”, and its purpose is to turn on every television and radio that supports it, and tunes it to NHK in the event of a Tsunami warning.
That's not the sound. 1seg is a mobile TV platform with reduced quality, occupying 1 spare segment of ISDB-T transport. And it's fully digital. ISDB-T also defines a signaling protocol for data transmission, which is used for sending digital signals to override standby mode and volume controls.
Sound, on the other hand, is an analog FSK transmission used by analog TVs to do the same thing - as analog TVs don't speak ISDB at all. Also when an analog TV is used with an external ISDB-T box, the digital message will override standby and volume on the box, while FSK transmission will pass through to the TV and do the same thing on the TV.
Łukasz Chrobak thanks for clarifying, I knew what I wanted to say in my head but I am bad at describing it in words

For the people who wants to know about this (2:36) "Morse code like" alarming sound:
This warning sound is called "Kin'-kyu Kei-hou Ho-So" (pronounce like: Kin'-cue Kei-haw Haw-saw), which means "Emergency Warning System / Emergency Warning Broadcast System"(EWS/EWBS) in Japanese.
The sound itself is for analog tv/radios which aim to force switch the tv/radio on to tell the people that Tsunami warning by JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency) or Evacuation warning by local government had been issued. (but almost all tv/radios didn't have that feature implemented)
The analog warning sound is coded with FSK modulation, 96bits long (start signal) and 192bits long (end signal), speed is 64bps. (one block of start signal is 1.5sec long, end signal is 3sec long, start signal repeats 4-10 blocks, end signal repeats 2-4 blocks)
The sound in 1024Hz is "1", and the sound in 640Hz is "0", includes information that the warning starts/ends, areas of warning issued, date/time or so on.
For the digital tv, the EWS/EBWS signal is digitally coded and send through TMCC (Transmission and Multiplexing Configuration and Control, means Transmission Control Code) and MPEG-TS signal, so the warning sound itself is not always necessary, but analog warning sound is still used for alarming purpose.
You can read details of technical information of EWS/EBWS below (the document is written in Japanese):

@@O7- the alert sound turns on every tv and radio capable of decoding this audio signal (every tv and radio in japan nowdays). in most recent tvs, it also maxes the volume automatically
@@user-bl6wo7by6e do you know what that sound / effect / function is called? or how that works? i cannot find an article about it
@@officialbeans think of dial up and your own eas
those weird sounds are code being transmitted. like a phone call. your tv picks it up and hears "turn on and max volume, go to this channel" your tv listens and follows instructions
usa eas tests follow the same
those tones have all the info like if its a test or not, where its located and how long it will last. the tv provider will descramble the code
as for dial up the whole thing is your computer talking to your phone
Yeahgg
If anyone is wondering the code at the end is to literally have TVs and such turn on and tune in automatically. Also the last few beeps indicate the magnitude of the earthquake and tsunami
This gave me flashback to 2011. Scariest day of my life. がんばろう日本🇯🇵
2:18 Oh my god that change in mood.
0:15 It's chilling how the alert sounded right when the anchor was about to speak…
News Anchor: goes to speak about what they got lined up.
Warning: "So anyways,I started twibkling-"
Ok but WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE NEWS INTRO ITS SO GOODDDD
As a Romanian Japanese living in Japan its very scary at first but after some months you'll be used to it
2:17 you can hear the fear in his voice intensify
MAN SAID THE N WORD

And I saw that you used NHK General TV for this. Nice.
The way the anchor instantly switches to the Tsunami warning - absolutely chilling.
