Wow.. he was still in Japan? Doesn't he have a show in the US coming up soon? (Wish I was going to see him in Shibuya!) I'll probably catch him at the end part of the tour anyway (^0^)ゞ

Japanese:
地震大丈夫か?
俺は余裕
でビビった!!
Translation:
How was the earthquake?
I was calm and composed
then I freaked out!!
Notes:
Last night, in central Tokyo, there were two small earthquakes maybe around 3 and 2 on the Richter Scale, shortly followed by a whopping 6.7, light-fixture shaking, shelf-shaking earthquake. Actually, Tokyo doesn’t have many earthquakes. I used to live in Chiba, and Chiba had more earthquakes than Tokyo did even though they are right next to each other. Even at 6.7, it didn’t do much damage. That strong of an earthquake will knock stuff off of shelves, and make it very difficult to stand or walk without holding onto something solid. Personally, coming from central U.S. where the ground does nothing at all ever, I find earthquakes very entertaining. Of course I’ve never experienced one that causes a lot of damage – I am not hoping to ever having that experience. ps; I've noticed that in general, the residents of Japan (Japanese people, Japan-born non-ethnic Japanese people, etc.) freak out over earthquakes more than foreigners do.
