6.2 actually

Magnitude 6.2 quake hits Shimane Prefecture The quake, which measured a strong 5 on Japan's seismic intensity scale, did not prompt a tsunami warning.

BREAKING: A magnitude 6.2 earthquake, measuring a strong 5 on Japan’s seismic intensity scale, struck Shimane Prefecture at 10:18 a.m. on Tuesday. There was no threat of a tsunami.

Big earthquake for Shimane just happened. Upper 5. 40 mins and still getting aftershocks. Very rare for here. Hope it ends there.

Right? Like it's a historical re-enactment or something

One of my proudest moments was two Americans on vacation coming into the game bar we usually haunted in Shinjuku with their own controllers and me and my friend getting flawless wins against them in Tekken Tag Team immediately causing them to silently pack up and leave

An convyor belt in an Asahi beer bottling factory, which inspired the founder of Genroku.

Genroku opened Japan's first conveyor belt sushi in 1958, and the concept was a hit at the 1970 Osaka Expo. Genroku's founder was inspired by the conveyor belts he saw during a visit to a beer bottler. www.yomiuri.co.jp/expo2025/202...
