Night in Shibuya Day after Earthquake

Posted by Kxela [www] 

SUp gang, Kxela here from Tokyo- Wanna let you guys know I'm fine :P The earthquake was a magnitude of 3 to 4 in the Tokyo area, so there was some mild to strong shakes during the first strike. There were I hear well over 50 aftershocks, of which at least 20 of them I felt. All of them were for the most part small shakes. Made this vlog last night:


Well, for most of the day the aftershocks continued, at around 5 things seemed to have settled. As much as I worried all day and kept of with the news- Staying home is a terrible time waster, so I decided to head out.

I met up with fellow figure.fm comrade Rurouni Heero, who, I intended to meet up with yesterday but our plans were pretty much crushed by the earthquake. The halting of public transportation and evacuations made it impossible yesterday. Heck, I was at work and had to walk home for two hours, 8km/5miles in distance.

Tonight things seemed to have calmed and we chilled and hung out in Shibuya.
Surprising yet also understandably- for a Saturday night Shibuya Center Gai was absolutely empty compared to a normal weekend.

Took a time lapse of the usually crowded Shibuya crossing. You can tell there was a fewer amount of people than usual:

We did some shopping, chillaxed at starbucks, hit up some games at arcades, and ended the night with some nice drinks.
...and I got to buy shonen jump early today :P Had an awesome time, planning to hang out some more later this month.

Also...I was told not to film stuff from the Starbucks window but uh... I was able to do it "discreetly" using my conveniently sized bic camera bag as you can see in the pics. I felt like I was setting up a spy cam :P lol

    Good to see that you're OK. The devastation on the eastern shore line was nasty, but its good to see that some normal activities started to run again. Hopefully everyone in Japan can recover from the aftermath of the tsunami and quake disaster soon enough. Good Luck Japan :)

    Even out here in the desert, a few hundred miles away from any coast, It's nice to see that business as usual is still going on. I applaud the Japanese folk for their flexibility in such dire circumstances... You Folk Rock!!

    Take care Kxela. Hope everything will back to normal soon. Anyway, I believe the release for most of the figures are going to be delay for sure. :/
