Manga prophet eerily predicts 'great disaster' before 900 earthquakes rock Japan
A Japanese manga printed in the 1990s appears to have made another scarily accurate prediction. Just two days before the author-turned-prophet predicted a 'great disaster' more than 900 earthquakes rocked an island chain off Japan on Thursday. Ryo Tatsuki, Japan's answer to Nostradamus, wrote down 15 dreams she had in the 1990s, many of which would come true. They were published in a 1999 manga called Watashi ga Mita Mira, known as The Future I Saw in English. A complete edition was published in 2021 and featured a 'new prophecy' that disaster will strike Japan on July 5, 2025. Authorities said a magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck on Wednesday on the far-flung islands populated by 700 people. 'It's very scary to even fall asleep,' one resident told the regional broadcaster MBC. 'It feels like it's always shaking.' Tatsuki, 70, wrote in her diary that she had dreamed of a 'crack opening up under the seabed between Japan and the Philippines, sending ashore waves three times as tall as those from the Tōhoku earthquake'. The foreword from the publisher states: 'The disaster will occur in July 2025.' In the afterword, Tatsuki added: 'If the day you have a dream is the day it becomes reality, then the next great disaster will be July 5, 2025.' Yet in a new autobiography, The Testament of an Angel, Tatsuki distanced herself from the predictions. 'I was unhappy that it was published primarily based on the publisher's wishes,' she said, according to The Sankei Shimbun. 'I vaguely remember mentioning it, but it appears to have been hurriedly written during a rush of work.' She also appears to have correctly prophesied about the deaths of Queen icon Freddie Mercury and Princess Diana. The epicentre of the earthquake was off the coast of the Tokara island chain, around 745 miles away from Tokyo, according to the country's Meteorological Agency. The Future I Saw is composed of 15 dreams that Tatsuki had in 1985 when her mother gifted her a notebook. The cover shows pages from her 'dream diary'. 'Boom!' one reads, depicting the once 'beautiful' Mount Fuji erupting as storm clouds gather. Another has an image of Princess Diana with the words, 'The dream I saw on August 31, 1995. Diana? What is it?', while one cryptically mentions a 'death anniversary' and the date June 12, 1995. But the most alarming among them: 'Great disaster happens March 2011.' Some readers saw the Tōhoku earthquake in March 2011, among the strongest ever recorded in Japan, as the 'great disaster' Tatsuki dreamt of.

Diana Vickers reveals the best sex advice she's ever been given
Diana Vickers is no stranger to a reinvention. Since charming the nation on The X Factor in 2008, she's made her mark in music, theatre, and comedy. Now, she's taking on the world of podcasting with Just Between Us in collaboration with Metro – a no-filter, sex-positive agony-aunt style show which launched earlier this week. The concept? Each week, Diana and her co-host, Metro's Alice Giddings, a bona fide sex expert ('a sexpert!' as Diana gleefully puts it), take calls from listeners navigating everything from threesomes and sex parties to cheating scandals and bedroom blips. And while Alice brings the expert insight, Diana brings the chaos and the laughs. 'Alice already works at Metro, she's fabulous and she really knows her stuff,' Diana explains. 'She's the sexpert and I guess I'm the one who doesn't really know what the hell's going on. I'm more the messy one—I just react. My advice might not always be the best… so I'm sorry!' she laughs. But between the giggles, Diana admits the stakes can feel high when real people are involved: 'It's definitely a lot of pressure,' she says. 'You're giving advice that could actually affect someone's life. I think I'm quite good at it, but I'm always like, 'If I mess this up, please don't come for me.'' Still, Diana sees the podcast as a space for honesty and solidarity: 'Dating right now is such a nightmare. It's exhausting. Hinge, Raya, all of it… it's just a mess. So I think the podcast will actually be a comfort for a lot of people. You hear someone going through absolute madness and you're like, 'OK, it's not just me who's losing the plot over some f**kboy.'' That blend of empathy and entertainment is already proving effective. The first episode features a jaw-dropping story of a woman who found a condom in her boyfriend's bed – despite their agreement to be exclusive. She's definitely not sugar-coating the current state of modern dating: 'I do think it's an absolute nightmare at the moment,' she says. 'With Hinge and dating apps, there are so many possibilities, and people get really, really bored and ghost people. And I mean, to be honest, I've taken a little break off the apps because I'm knackered.' Even Raya, the exclusive dating app for creatives, has lost its appeal. 'Raya is a weird one,' Diana admits. 'I've actually connected with a few people that I already knew and then we cemented that friendship… But I think mostly it's a place for hookups, like, nothing serious.' One guy even messaged her on Instagram asking why she hadn't matched with him. 'I thought he looked quite nice, normal guy, so I matched with him. And then he just turned out to be a bit of a dick. Kind of put me off it.' Diana's particularly passionate about breaking down shame around female sexuality. 'There's still a stigma,' she says. 'Men watch porn and think sex is done like that—but female pleasure is more complex. I think it's really important to talk about it, to be direct, to tell people what you want. I'm quite bossy in that way, and I think that's the best sex advice I've ever been given – just be honest. And if he doesn't like it? Sod him.' More Trending While Just Between Us might be Diana's newest outlet, she's far from done with the rest. She recently starred in Just For One Day, a musical about Live Aid, and has a TV appearance and a secret stage project lined up for later this year. She's also dipped back into music after a break, writing what she calls 'super gay, super fun songs for the gays and the girlies'. Still, it's clear that the podcast has struck a special chord. 'I absolutely love talking about sex and relationships, especially from a woman's perspective. I'm such an advocate for women being able to express themselves openly.' Got a story?

Melbourne is the second most diverse and inclusive city in the world, according to locals
Here at Time Out Melbourne, it's easy to assume that our beloved city is a friendly space where diversity and inclusivity are welcomed. After all, Melbourne is a thriving metropolis that prides itself on being highly liveable, with cool neighbourhoods and streets that are home to various cuisines, communities and cultures. But sometimes it's good to get that confirmation from others, and off the back of Time Out's huge annual survey, we can reveal that locals themselves actually consider Melbourne the second most diverse and inclusive city in the whole world. The survey asked 18,500 city-dwellers what they think of their hometown's transport, food, nightlife, green spaces and more. But all of this is pointless if people don't actually feel welcome, so we also wanted to find out whether they would describe their city as 'diverse' and 'inclusive' too. Melburnians responded in an overwhelmingly positive fashion, with 77 per cent of people agreeing with the sentiment. The city that (just!) nabbed the crown ahead of Melbourne was London, with 78 per cent of locals deeming the UK capital diverse and inclusive. And look, we get it – with a long history as a hub of immigration and around 300 languages spoken, it's a true representation of what a modern, multicultural city looks like. Rounding out the rest of the top five were Brighton (also in the UK) and New York City tied for third, followed by Los Angeles and Chicago, respectively. So what are some of the factors that make our city worthy of the silver medal? Melbourne – aka Naarm – is located on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples, and boasts a rich First Nations history. There are many ways you can learn more and immerse yourself in this culture, including through walking tours or exhibitions like Wurrdha Marra and 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art. And let's not forget the culinary influence of Melbourne's many international communities. Box Hill is known for its abundance of fantastic Chinese restaurants, while Footscray boasts some epic bánh mì spots thanks to its large Vietnamese population. Oakleigh is the Greek heartland for souvas and gyros, and recent waves of migration from Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon have culminated in a mushrooming of West African eateries. Add in a stacked line-up of festivals and events, a proud and ever-growing queer community (Melbourne was even voted the fourth most LGBTQIA+-friendly city in the world in 2022), and a thriving nightlife scene – and we're not surprised that locals would consider our capital a place where everyone is welcome to show up and be their most authentic selves. So, come as you are – Melbourne is open to all. These are the most diverse and inclusive cities in the world: London, UK Melbourne, Australia Brighton, UK = New York, USA Los Angeles, USA Chicago, USA Madrid, Spain Barcelona, Spain Bangkok, Thailand Johannesburg, South Africa = Cape Town, South Africa Montreal, Canada = Medellin, Colombia = Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia = San Francisco, USA This Melbourne university has been named in the world's top 20 for 2026, beating out Yale and Princeton
