      Click bait title or what!! Unbelievable!! Not even the leaf on the plant is moving. Talk about a staged scene! Anyone who hasn't watched the video, there is no actual earthquake. It's completely staged. As you see, not one thing is moving. Who would terrorize their child like that?

      When my grandpa died and Granny became too old to stay by herself in the village we moved her into a small apartment close to us. Loved having her within walking distance and you could tell it was good for her as well to see us that often but also have stuff like stores and doctors within walking distance as well.

    I think that most people may fail to grasp is just how amazing it is for the family to allow the filming to happen. This is insanely private, and it’s a privilege to be allowed to see a real slice of Japanese life at an important part of the year. Also, super scary to be caught in an earthquake. Fun fact, Astoria Queens just had a small earthquake a few weeks ago. Very odd. Buildings certainly are not built for that in that part of the world.

    I hope you and your family and friends are doing better now and that you all have been able to relax and find peace after this incident.

    Hey Paolo, i was in Kanazawa, visiting from Australia when the earthquake occurred. The most terrifying experience I’ve had made so much better by the incredible hotel staff who were so lovely, helpful and reassuring. It was interesting to see how others nearby areas were affected and when i saw where you were in relation to me, surprised at how strong it was down south. My thoughts with the families still recovering and the 5 people that died at Haneda, on their way to deliver supplies. Beside all of this, Japan remains one of the most amazing country’s and can’t wait for my next visit back.

    Glad you guys are OK! One of my friends lives outside of Kyoto and she had gone to Aichi to visit her family for New Years as well. I messaged her immediately and she said they were OK. She called me at 2 am (I work overnight and was off that night) and we talked about two hours. I donated too to the Japanese Red Cross. My heart goes out to everyone and their loved ones in Japan. Love from Texas in the United States.
    For those unaware: there were 8582 aftershocks with the largest at 6.1 or 6.2. As of right now 221 are dead, 1220 fatalities, and 24 missing. Huge prayers go out to the people of Japan and condolences to the loved ones of the deceased.
    Edit: 281 deaths and 1300 were injured across six prefectures. It's the deadliest Earthquake since 2011 Tohoku Earthquake.
