July 5th 2025: The End of the World in Japan as We Know It?

Is Japan going to sink to the bottom of the ocean on July 5th? No. But there is fun with podcasts to be had; although there are earthquakes off the coast of Kagoshima. A manga by Ryo Tatsuki published in 1999, ‘The Future I Saw (私が見た未来)’ included reference to a “great disaster in March 2011,” which has since convinced a small but vocal cult of believers that her dreams are direct memos from the universe, only slightly less vague than your daily horoscope. In her revised edition, she claims she dreamed of a giant seaquake on July 5, 2025, somewhere in the waters between Japan and the Philippines, followed by a tsunami (tidal wave)  of biblical proportions. Fingers crossed Disability News Japan will be podcasting on July 6th 2025!
