Just been a fairly strong quake in central Nagano - Matsumoto. Shindo 5+. Felt it where I am though not too strong.

Maybe not one quite as big as Tokyo

Look like this

I have some Adidas Naola that are good for a bright day on the slopes and aren't mad sporty looking so you can wear them anytime.

I have never got one but been tempted by some in Hakuba.
I just wish they put out a wider one that could let you ski the valley, though I think that is just a dream that will never happen.

I'm in the market for some new ones now I seem to have lost my beloved old ones.

Or, not being able to find stuff.
I'm hopeless at it.
I seem to have lost some sunglasses that I have had for 10 years. Cannot find them wherever I look and just bemused at where they could be. If only I were a bit more organised.
Am I the only one who is just a no hoper with this kind of thing? It's really irritating.

What is AC?
Since the quake there have been countless "commercials" on tv from them, all looking to get people genki.
The latest ones are tons of celebs saying how they believe in Japan etc.
Part of the goverment or something?

I think it is better quality than the ds, no?

I would guess most of us here do.

Anyone flown back into Tokyo recently?
would be interesting to hear how full flights are.

I'm encouraging my friends to not read silly stuff and make a decision in the autumn, like there were going to do previously actually. I'm pretty sure they will still come.

Guardian has this as it's very top news:
----
Japan may have lost race to save nuclear reactor
Fukushima meltdown fears rise after radioactive core melts through vessel – but 'no danger of Chernobyl-style catastrophe'
The radioactive core in a reactor at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant appears to have melted through the bottom of its containment vessel and on to a concrete floor, experts say, raising fears of a major release of radiation at the site.
The warning follows an analysis by a leading US expert of radiation levels at the plant. Readings from reactor two at the site have been made public by the Japanese authorities and Tepco, the utility that operates it.
Richard Lahey, who was head of safety research for boiling-water reactors at General Electric when the company installed the units at Fukushima, told the Guardian workers at the site appeared to have "lost the race" to save the reactor, but said there was no danger of a Chernobyl-style catastrophe.

Just an exciting headline? I can't find similar elsewhere.

Is it safe to presume that this will now not be happening?

Thanks BM, needed that.

I had a laugh at this lot.
Will send to my friends too, funny stuff.

Looks great muikabochi.
I always like "people looking out" kind of photos, even if it is an ojisan

Some of the best I have seen.

Is it this weekend, or next weekend that is the really peak busy one?

Good point that.
Not many places have wildly out, it doesn't make sense to.
