Now, keeping the current situation in the mind, people are now more scared by seeing this current scenario and considering the predictions as reality. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reports nearly 500 tremors have rattled a remote island chain in Kagoshima Prefecture, southwestern Japan since Saturday. We can consider it as fortunate thing that no significant damage has been reported so far despite the ongoing tremors on the Tokara Islands, which are south of Kyushu. Since Saturday morning, there has been an increase in seismic activity on Kodakarajima Island in the Tokara Islands chain, according to Japan's Meteorological Agency. Why Japan encounter frequent Tremors? The Pacific "Ring of Fire," which includes Japan, is made up of four main tectonic plates. Approximately 1,500 earthquakes occur in the country each year as a result, accounting for about 18% of all earthquakes globally. Most of them are minor, but some can be very harmful depending on where and how deep they are. Expert Opinion: Interpreting the Alarming Signs According to Yokose, a specialist on marine volcanoes stated that there is a probability of an earthquake up to magnitude 6. For the next week or so, folks should be on high alert, he warns. Yokose emphasized that this wave of minor earthquakes is not a sign of a catastrophic occurrence, such as a mega-quake like the one that occurred in the Nankai Trough. He claims that the geological processes that cause the tremors on the Kagoshima islands are completely distinct from those that would cause a huge earthquake off the Pacific coast of Japan. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Mass Anxiety Spreads Amid Shocking Predictions and Events The public across the nation is in fear and it is growing day by day as July 5 is coming near.

By 11 a.m. on Thursday, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) confirmed that 475 tremors had been recorded within the archipelago, which consists of 12 small islands located between Yakushima and Amami-Oshima. All registered 1 or higher on Japan's 7-level seismic scale. The largest tremors were two magnitude-5.1 quakes on Sunday and Tuesday. In September 2023, Tokara Islands experienced 346 earthquakes in 15 days. Seven of the 12 islands are inhabited, with just under 700 people living there. Staying in southwestern Japan, Mount Shinmoe erupted on Sunday. It spewed smoke as high as 500 meters. The volcano, located in the Kirishima mountain range bordering Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures, last erupted seven years ago. The latest eruption and the earthquake swarm on the Tokara Islands have further ignited fears of a catastrophic disaster hitting Japan soon. Manga artist and self-proclaimed clairvoyant Ryo Tatsuki wrote that a massive disaster will hit the country on 5 July 2025 in the 'complete version' of her book, The Future I Saw . The JMA has dismissed the claim as scientifically baseless. Donald Trump Compares Iran Attacks to Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki On Saturday evening, President Donald Trump announced via social media that US forces had struck three key nuclear sites in Iran. A few days later, he compared the impact of the air strikes to the end of World War II. 'When you look at Hiroshima, if you look at Nagasaki, that ended a war, too,' he said . 'This ended a war in a different way. I don't want to use an example of Hiroshima, I don't want to use an example of Nagasaki, but that was essentially the same thing. That ended that war. This ended the war.' Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba responded to the attacks from his official residence on Sunday. He said it was crucial that there was a quick de-escalation of the situation in Iran. He refrained, though, from making a statement on whether Japan supported the US attacks there. 'We are gathering and analyzing information and closely monitoring developments with grave concern,' said Ishiba. 'It's paramount to calm down the situation soon.' He added, 'Iran's nuclear development must be blocked.' When asked if Japan backed the US attacks on Iran, Ishiba responded, 'I will answer the question when appropriate.' New US Visa Rule Requires Applicants To Set Social Media Accounts to 'Public' On Monday, the United States Embassy in Japan announced via X that applicants for F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas must make their social media accounts 'public.' According to the US Department of State (DOS), those who keep their social media accounts private may be deemed as trying to hide their activities. Officers have reportedly been told to reject visa applications in cases where the applicant has expressed 'hostile attitudes' toward the US, advocated for or supported 'designated foreign terrorists and other threats to US national security,' or supported antisemitism. 'Effective immediately, all individuals applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa are requested to adjust the privacy settings on all of their personal social media accounts to 'public' to facilitate vetting necessary to establish their identity and admissibility to the United States,' read t he post . The F-1 visa is for academic studies, M-1 is for vocational or non-academic studies and J-1 is for exchange visitor programs. The US has been checking the social media accounts of visa applicants and immigrants since at least 2019. However, in the past few months, these checks have become a lot stricter. Teen Referred to Prosecutors After Condom Prank at Sushi Restaurant A 16-year-old boy, whose name has been withheld because of his age, was referred to prosecutors on Monday in relation to a viral prank involving a condom at a sushi restaurant. The incident occurred at a branch of the Kura Sushi chain in Tokyo's Toshima ward on March 28. According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the teenager uploaded an image on social media of an unwrapped condom his friend put in a chute used to return empty plates. It quickly went viral, with more than 100,000 views in less than 24 hours. People online soon identified the restaurant and location. Kura Sushi subsequently closed the shop for a brief period to disinfect all the plates and utensils, while also responding to inquiries about the incident. The police were contacted, and the boy was charged with obstructing business by fraudulent means. Admitting the act, he reportedly told the police, 'I wanted to see the reaction from my friends. I posted it without thinking about the consequences.' Several people took to X to criticize the teenager and his group of friends, including musician and actor Gackt . Tokio Announce Breakup Following Taichi Kokubun Scandal Pop group Tokio announced that it is breaking up on Wednesday following a compliance violation by its keyboardist, Taichi Kokubun. Sankei Sports broke the story about the violation last Thursday. Details about what he did have yet to be revealed. However, a source close to the matter said it involved behavior that could be considered sexual harassment. 'Taichi Kokubun's recent compliance violations have caused a great deal of distress and concern to everyone involved, and we take this very seriously,' read the statement . 'We would like to once again offer our sincerest apologies. We are truly sorry.' The statement went on to say that 'it would be difficult to continue working as the group Tokio in a way that could regain all of your trust and support.' Last Friday, Kokubun's management announced that he was being suspended by the group. Earlier that day, NTV confirmed that it was removing Kokubun, 50, from its weekly program, The Tetsuwan Dash . Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Communications Minister Seiichiro Murakami said , 'We would like to hear extensively from Nippon TV about how it sees the issue and how it will respond as a company in the future.' Original Image Courtesy of JLEAGUE Kota Takai Set To Join Spurs Tottenham Hotspurs have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Kawasaki Frontale defender Kota Takai, 20, for around ¥1 billion ($6.8 million). Once completed, it will be the largest ever fee for a Japanese player from the J-League. Identified by technical director Johan Lange, Takai is expected to be part of the North London club's first-team squad rather than being loaned out. Another Japanese player reportedly on the move is Ritsu Doan. According to Sports Hochi , he will be leaving F reiburg for Eintracht Frankfurt.

New Baba Vanga's prophecy coming true? Over 500 earthquakes rattle Japanese islands before apocalyptic July 5 prediction
A remote group of islands in southern Japan has been shaken by over 470 earthquakes since Saturday, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). The Tokara Islands , located south of Kyushu, have been experiencing constant tremors, though luckily, no major damage has been reported so far. What's happening in the Tokara Islands? By Thursday morning, the JMA confirmed that 474 earthquakes had been recorded in the area. These were not very strong but enough to be felt by people sitting quietly indoors. The strongest ones, two magnitude-5.1 quakes happened on Sunday and Tuesday. These were strong enough to shake hanging lamps and rattle dishes. Authorities have warned people in the area to stay alert. 'This region has seen long periods of earthquake activity in the past. Please be careful,' the JMA said. A marine volcano expert , Hisayoshi Yokose, has also said that a magnitude-6 earthquake could still happen. Has this happened before? Yes. In September 2023, the same area had 346 earthquakes in just 15 days. Seven of the 12 Tokara Islands are inhabited, with around 700 people living there. Some of these islands have active volcanoes. They are also hard to reach, ferries only run twice a week when the weather is good. Live Events Why does Japan have so many earthquakes? Japan sits on four major tectonic plates and is part of the Pacific 'Ring of Fire'. That's why the country experiences around 1,500 earthquakes every year, about 18% of the world's total. Most of them are mild, but some can cause serious damage depending on their location and depth. Reminder of the 2024 New Year's Day quake On 1 January 2024, a powerful earthquake hit the Noto Peninsula in central Japan, killing over 400 people. Buildings collapsed, fires broke out, and basic services like water and power were disrupted. That tragedy is still fresh in many people's minds. Ryo Tatsuki's prediction adds to public fear As the earthquakes continue, fear is also rising due to a viral prediction by Ryo Tatsuki, a manga artist and self-proclaimed clairvoyant. In her book The Future I Saw, Tatsuki claims that a massive disaster will hit Japan on 5 July 2025. She describes cities sinking into the sea, boiling water, giant bubbles, and a mega-tsunami, stronger than the one in the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. What are Japanese officials saying? Officials are asking the public not to panic. The governor of Miyagi, Yoshihiro Murai, said there is no official warning and advised people not to change their plans based on rumours. Authorities hope that tourism won't be affected too badly and that the prediction will pass without any real event. Who is Ryo Tatsuki? She is a manga artist from Japan who claims to have visions of the future. In the past, she says she predicted: The 2011 Tohoku earthquake The deaths of Princess Diana and Freddie Mercury The Covid-19 pandemic A new deadly virus variant expected in 2030 Because of her detailed predictions and their accuracy, some are now calling her the 'New Baba Vanga,' comparing her to the famous Bulgarian mystic known for her prophecies. As July 5 approaches, tension is rising across Japan, not just because of the earthquakes, but also because of what might come next. Inputs from agencies Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Manga mayhem: Japan's July catastrophe fear sparks tourism slump amid quakes and volcano
Japan is gripped by panic as a viral manga prophecy warning of a July 2025 disaster coincides with real earthquakes and a volcanic eruption. The growing fear has triggered a tourism slump and rising public anxiety, even as experts urge calm and dismiss any scientific link. read more A wave of panic is sweeping across Japan as a viral manga prophecy converges with real-world seismic activity, sparking a sharp decline in tourist bookings and growing public anxiety. Over the past five days, more than 330 earthquakes have rattled the remote Tokara Islands, while Mount Shinmoe in Kyushu erupted, spewing ash 500 metres into the air. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has raised the alert for the volcano to level 3, warning residents to stay away—further fuelling nationwide concern. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD At the heart of this alarm is The Future I Saw, a cult 1999 manga by Ryo Tatsuki, which fans credit with predicting the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami. A 2021 reprint ominously forecast a 'real disaster' in July 2025. As that date approaches and tremors escalate, the manga has gone viral once more, dominating social media and online forums. The fallout has already begun to impact tourism. Bookings from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea have plunged by up to 83 per cent, with airlines such as Hong Kong Airlines cutting back flights. Some travel agencies have reported cancellation rates of up to 50 per cent. Japan's seismologists and the JMA have dismissed any link between the manga and the current seismic activity, stressing that no scientific method exists to predict earthquakes with precise timing or location. They are urging the public to prioritise preparedness over panic. Still, Tatsuki—often dubbed 'Japan's Baba Vanga'—continues to attract attention. Her dream-inspired visions and symbolic warnings, with phrases like 'oceans boiling' and 'undersea rupture,' have struck a deep chord despite lacking scientific grounding. With tremors shaking the ground and cryptic prophecies fuelling speculation, Japan stands at a tense crossroads between fact and folklore—just days away from a date many are watching with unease.

Is destruction certain after two weeks? Japanese Baba Vanga has predicted that a major accident or natural disaster may occur on July 5. People are also apprehensive about this prediction, and it has had such an impact that there has been a huge drop in the booking of flights from Hong Kong to Japan from the end of June to the beginning of July. According to the news, there has been a decrease of about 83% in this booking. It is clear that this prediction has increased people's concern. In the 1999 manga The Future I Saw, Ryo Tatsuki also predicted the Covid-19 pandemic. Where may disaster strike Rio had also claimed during this time that a big disaster could happen in Japan on July 5. His warning said that there will be a big disaster in Japan. This warning clearly stated that Japan may have to go through a serious crisis. It said that on July 5, a big crack may appear under the sea between Philippines and Japan, due to which there is a possibility of a massive earthquake and tsunami. This warning also said that the waves that will rise this time will be more dangerous than the tsunami waves of the year 2011. How many bookings were cancelled This is the reason why Hong Kong Airlines has stopped flights to South Japanese cities like Kagoshima and Kumamoto in July and August due to fear. This is the reason why bookings on these routes have reduced a lot. Compared to last year, this time there has been a 50 percent decrease in flight bookings, especially in those planes where Boeing planes operate. This clearly shows that there is an atmosphere of fear among the people.
