At 0:31 This guy said the Word "Earthquake. This is Exciting"

Immediately after the occurrence of the earthquake, people living in Tokyo did not know the scale of the damage in the entire Tohoku region until they saw the TV footage, of course. Many of the people in these images were aware at this point that "the earthquake was longer and bigger than usual," that "trains have been suspended to check for safety and to be cautious of a recurrence of the earthquake, and so people cannot go home," that "Tokyo's electricity and water lifelines have not yet been shut down," and that "Cell phone service is still spotty.“ That was the situation of the people in this video at that time. Still, everyone was calm, even though they could have been more panicked. Why is that? The history of Japan is very old, about 2,000 years since the Emperor's reign, but humans began to live in villages and communities in this island nation about 14,000 years ago, during “the Jomon pottery” culture. The country name word "NIPPON”(Japan) means "the land under the sun" , but another name is "WA" or "YAMATO" , meaning “Peacefully Harmony among People and with Nature”.　So, Japan's name means “the Land under the Sun” and” the Land of "Great Harmony of People and Nature,” In this island nation surrounded by the sea on all sides, since ancient times, people have lived peacefully in groups, respecting harmony, and living in harmony with nature and enjoying the blessings of nature. The original country names from ancient times "YAMATO, WA" reflect their wishes and realities. In public places where everyone gathers, everyone should act in a way that “Do not disturb others.“ If all participants can act in a way that “you do not cause trouble to others," that is, at the same time, it will create an environment in which “No one cause trouble to you” The same is true if we substitute the phrase "everyone always help others in need.” If everyone does this, it will create a social situation in which "when you are in trouble, someone will help you.” This is a very rational group wisdom to live in peace with each other. This is not for the sake of any particular person, but in order to live equally comfortably with each other, the obligation to act for the peace of mind of "all participants with each other" also arises. Therefore, they believe that the right thing to do in public places is not to bother others, even if there are no garbage cans, to take home garbage that they have soiled themselves and dispose of it on “their own responsibility”, and not to throw garbage away in public places where it will bother others. This is because they have been taught through their childhood “education” that this is an ancient teaching, a tradition, and “a natural duty of adults.” It is a teaching and a rule of life that has been handed down in this island nation since ancient times. “A peaceful environment can only be built through mutual give and take, each other.” One for all, all for one, the sprits of OTAGAI-SAMA, TASUKEAI (help each other, everyone)". ”In times of trouble, we are there ,help for each other.”（Komatta Toki ha Otagaisama) Because of its so long history, the Japanese themselves are unaware that they themselves have an "unknown no-named religion”. However, they have inherited it through the long history of this island nation. They have lived collectively in their island environment for more than 14,000 years, and this has given them the wisdom of life to survive in that environment, which is condensed in the traditional Japanese teachings. But the interesting thing about Japanese culture is that this obligation is only for the peaceful life of each other in public places where everyone gathers, and does not regulate individual personal beliefs, hobbies, and preferences, which are the free choice of the individual. This has not been treated academically yet, but it has been a feature of Japanese culture since ancient times. That is why so many different cultures have blossomed in each period of Japanese history. There are two main reasons why Japan, an island nation, has developed its own unique culture. One is the natural environment of the warm and humid climate volcanic islands. Surrounded by the sea on four sides, Japan has a warm climate that provides abundant water resources, plants, and food. On the other hand, the warm and humid climate is a favorable environment not only for humans, but also for microorganisms and bacteria, which can easily multiply and cause health problems and epidemics if left in their natural state. Also, in terms of location and topography, typhoons, windstorms, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc.,　It is an environment that has both a rich natural environment suitable for human life, and a harsh natural environment. Japanese cleanliness is a necessary behavior to overcome this negative element. This concrete example, such as daily cleaning and washing, tidying up, and daily bathing habits, and they has done education from an early age because it is a matter of life and death. This is the reason why the culture has developed a perfectionist behavior and that everything be handled to the last detail in order to eliminate negative environmental elements from thier lives. This is all from the ancient wisdom of life in order to survive in this island environment, unlike life on the continent, where it is dry. Second, because they are geographically isolated from Eurasia in the Pacific Ocean, they have historically been less vulnerable to invasion from other continental nations and powers, and in fact have not been invaded by other nations, including cultures, until the modern era. These two factors (an island nation's natural environment and geopolitical isolation) are the reasons why Japan is different from other Asian nations and historically gave birth to a unique Japanese culture. So once you enter this island, it doesn't matter if you are foreigner or Japanese, “all people are equally” expected to cooperate and contribute their behavior to make life comfortable for each other. " We act with each other so as not to cause trouble for others." Because if even “one person stops this”, the comfortable environment “will disappear” in an instant. Surprisingly, a unique and advanced civic cultural consciousness has existed in Japan since ancient times, don't you think?

“Earthquake. This is exciting.” Yeah, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake is definitely exciting (not) Still though, amazing architecture!

地震も凄いけど、渋谷は再開発で何もかも変わったんだなというのがよく分かるな

渋谷の当日の混乱は何個か動画であるけど　これはこれで今後の対策資料になりそうな内容だと思う

私もなぜかお勧めででてきましたが、いずれにしても貴重な映像ですね‥。ありがとうございます！

UP主は本人じゃありませんよ。

Many people write "you", But maybe this video is just a collection of videos uploaded elsewhere. He is not the person on this channel.

従業員がちゃんとお客さんを非難させているので安心しました

今頃になって何故かオススメに出てきたけど………あなた様に怪我がなくて良かったです。それと、瞳がとても綺麗ですね。

TOKYO ？？………………NEXT……

Watching From The Philippines!! 🇵🇭

Love those eyes of yours

Parece ser que esto es un ensayo o simulacro de uno percance como un sismo PERO NO ES UN VIDEO DEL SISMO DEL 11 DE SEPT. DE 2011 PUES NADA OCURRE Y TODOS ESTAN SERENOS COMO CUANDO TE DAN INSTRUCCIONES.

0:06 earthquake dropping some fire beats though

You can also tell this guy is not from a state that has earthquake s..cuz that TABLE at best could probably withstand adirect hit from a bag of cement..but 20 ton steel beams him and his camera would be a NEW tile design for future generations

At the beginning I thought they were at a MUSIC STORE IN THE MALL CUZ I HEARD THE METAL SWAYING SOUNDED LIKE A 2-PAC BEAT..ALL EYES ON ME

Earthquakes are exciting? okay

いまどきツイッターとかあるし、テレビに皆が集まる光景は次の大震災時には見られないだろうね

There is always something funny about a big Caucasian guy hiding under a table. That a a midget.

0:32 sorry dude. Clean out your damn nose. We didn't need to see that.

Cringeeeee Fuck Japan 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

これを見て思ったのですが、外国人向けに英語専用チャンネルモニターが設置してあれば良いなぁと思いました。 普段はCMを流し、緊急災害時にだけ、英語でニュースを流すのです。

You are still survive ?

Wow you tell the world this is exciting when so many people died..

dude is hot

It's no wonder the Japanese hate you yanks. I took great comfort knowing your cockiness landed you in a restaurant floor along with the rest of the bacteria pondlife.

dude is just taking vid of the pretty girls.

Maybe it's your first experience

It's following you. Are you the earthquake man?

Gotanda

I'm okay, but I'm in Houston, Texas, US is safe with no earthquakes happen! Mount Fuji actually happens if they try to shake again!

nobody got panic

あなたが無事で本当によかったです！

To prevent the catching or spreading of illnesses (like the common cold, flu, etc.). Also in some Asian countries, some younger people use it as fashion.

but the have well built buildings.

It was a 9.0 earthquake

It's hygiene practise in Japan. They will use mask even a light cold. A good hygiene culture.

How come so many of them have their mouths covered? What, they're all sick?

were you frightened? I was in the Northridge earthquake and that was scary.

The building must be basee-isolated.

your close -up is CUTE!!!!

Da fliegt kein Papier rum,keine Graffitis oder mit Edding bemaltes..Wow!

0:08 did someone lose a contact lens under the table and they are all looking for it?

Get the hell out of the building! Those tables won't help you!

Google Translate has it as "Is not hurt you? I did not hurt you?" To me, this implies that the employee was saying "You're not hurt? I didn't hurt you, did I?" (But what might've made sense, given the situation, is "Are you okay? Did anyone get hurt?")

Actually I would claim that it's not. For example cities like Kobe or Sendai are likely much more earthquake prepared. In these cities, badly earthquake resistant buildings will not be there anymore for natural reasons, whereas Tokyo hasn't really had a big earthquake since the 1920's.

There is only a split second shot,where there is what looks like 'The Tusami'. Did you lose the place you stayed at?

You're cute ... endearing playfulness too :)
