Great, safety against unexpected disasters should be first in my opinion when it comes to where should the government put her money into. Here in Israel they started a program where the government would pay the fees for renovations so every building will be earthquake proof.
For those wondering why Portuguese is offered as a J-Alert language in addition to English, Chinese and Korean, it's because there's actually quite a sizeable Brazilian and Portuguese community in Japan - approximately 273,000 Brazilians live in Japan.
Those initial tones before the Japanese announcement can make the TV turn on by itself. So you can just be cleaning your house, minding your own business, all of a sudden, BOOM, TV is on and you're being yelled at
@@mikemotter3685 Not the *initial* tones - but those at 3:38. It's an FSK in-band transmission every analog TV receiver is listening to, even on standby. Newer, digital TVs/set-top-boxes get this information out-of-band via ISDB-T headers. (When a digital set-top-box is connected to an analog receiver, both of the steps do their respective work.)

Lucien Gaydos There's a guy yelling into her ear via the earplug, the studio is shaking (the cameras are designed to limit shaking for this reason), and she still keeps going.
Jesus have u seen the NHK guy on the 2011 earthquake. It was shaking like shit and he was calm af but was prolly screaming inside and u could even hear the staff scared to shit.
That newscaster is ridiculously polite about having to interrupt their guest to announce the quakes. I’d just be like “PIPE DOWN, EARTHQUAKE’S COMING, BYE!"
I don't even need to speak Japanese, all I have to do is look at the look in that girl's eyes when she's told about the quake to know somethin bad is going to happen.
The alarm sound is one of the most Japanese things I’ve heard. Bell-chime dings followed by jingling glockenspiel. To American people (or generally people more used to jazz), the arpeggiated glockenspiel chords would just sound funky/jazzy. But to Japanese people, the chords sound very unstable and unsettling. It also has notes in a wide pitch range, so that people who are hard of hearing can still recognize the alarm. The two chords are the same chord shifted up a half-step, which builds tension and a sense of urgency. Combined with the choice of instrument, the alarm is intended to communicate intuitively that you don’t have to _panic,_ but you have to _stay alert._
Wow I was wonder why Japan used such a bright sounding tone for the alerts Interesting how musically chords can be interpreted differently based on culture
UK: "Now if you're still watching this news programme, it has appeared that there is a tsunami warning bound for the west coast. Here's our chief meteorological reporter courtesy of the Met Office to investigate why..."
The wildest part of all of this is how fast she goes from talking about something extremely benin to something so serious at a moments notice. Give this woman an academy award.
She was also having to quickly deliver information that had just been handed to her so was unprepared, whilst an Earthquake is going on. Kudos to her for handling it so well given the circumstances.
The United States and Canada's west coast will receive one of these mag 9 plus in the not to near distant future with the Cascadia fault.The infracture may be so badly damaged they may not be able to recover.Unlike like Japan they have 0 building standards to deal with that 5 to 10 minutes worth of shaking.
2016:u sure about that 2017: i am a eartqueke 2018 :hi again Yeah i am really scare for the people need to pass that and knowing i really want to live there is so scary the earthquake and stunami
Everyone's taking about how "polite" the Japanese warning system sounds, but I think the main point is that it's distinct, and is high pitched, so it won't get lost in ambient sound.
stampycatfan01 Well the Philippines doesn't have warnings. In part because there's a cultural part of letting things be a surprise. even natural disasters
Mr. Delphi Japans system is quite advanced and probably quicker than the American EAS. However, while the American EAS may not seem advanced, the blaring tones before the alert tell special receivers in weather radios and EAS equipment what the alert is, where it has been issued for, and how long it will last. Alerts can range from 15 minutes to 6 hours in length. Alerts longer than 6 hours (I.e. Issued until Further Notice) are usually issued for 6 hours and may or may not have follow-up alerts, depending on the emergency.
Their warning system is so advanced! An earthquake is detected, people are warned, then a mere two minutes later, a tsunami warning, broadcasted in FIVE LANGUAGES. Mad respect... even in disaster, they can get such information out.
Her face was like "Ok ok ok shut up SHUT UP DAMN IT! It's an emergency!" And why can't the US have that warning tone. Ours sounds like a hippopotamus fart.
They will be far out-numbered by Brazilian-Japanese. And Hispanic people working for the US government abroad can be reasonably expected to speak English. But many Brazilians of Japanese descent won't necessarily have a good command of Japanese or English (nor Korean or Mandarin Chinese, obviously).
Yeah. I saw a comment before saying that "That sound will turn on the TV, even if it's off" or something like that. (Not unplugged.) But I have no idea if that is true.
Its really fascinating how she takes her time to warn the people and not just evacuate, you can see the fear in her face, she is really shocked but still trying to calmly warn everyone to be safe.

It's a pretty awesome system they have here. There was just a magnitude 5 quake a few minute ago. My phone started ringing, and the alert had the time until the earthquake arrived and the intensity. The way it works is that they have seismic monitoring stations set up everywhere. The fastest earthquake waves travel at 9000 mph, so there's time to quickly relay the information to you.

This was a big earthquake, it measured 7.3. The nearest city was Ishinomaki, but Kamaishi was also affected. Ishinomaki was the town that had the most fatalities from the earthquake in 2011, being nearly 4,000 killed. The 2012 earthquake killed 2 people, plus a man who attempted to sail from the tsunami in Kuji. Multiple aftershocks occurred, and tides in waters across the Pacific rose. Unusual waves were spotted in California.
The most amazing part Is that the tones from the J-Alert system are designed to trigger any device compatible with 1Seg (so most of them) to immediately turn on and tune to NHK in the case of TVs. This even includes PCs and laptops!
Up north here in Hokkaido, they usually replace the Portuguese announcements with Russian, as there are hardly any Brazilians here and a lot of Russian tourists, expats and students.
Kudos for this brave woman and others who stayed calm just to do their job. She could have hid or escaped to safety but she stayed. You can sense that she is scared but she is firm. Salute!
Japan's Alerts: *cellphone ringing* Hey, there's a tsunami coming! You should prepare for it! ^-^ America's Alerts: *sCREEEEEEEEEEEE* *sCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE* THERE'S A TSUNAMI COMING EVERYONE RUN FOR YOUR LIVES Me in America: ow why does america have to issue earrape to us
Y'know, at 0.41 when she says "Fukushima", that's when the nervousness really kicks in. The faintest catch in her voice, considering the situation back then, I totally understand why!
the fear in the woman's voice is very genuine, i really do hope in the future no one will ever get hurt from natural disasters, no matter which country they're from.
Japan is the most technologically prepared country for getting quake info out fast. They take advantage of the speed difference between the P-waves (faster but not much shaking) and the S-waves (slower but much more violent).
For anyone wondering: The noise at 3:40 is a signal to turn on all other TV’s in the house, let’s say a child is watching TV in one room and all other TV’s in the house are off. Once this sound plays all other TV’s will turn on and broadcast the warning,
The English guy sounds like the guy from cops that says "all suspects are innocent until proven guilty" lol **UPDATE** 300 LIKES ON ME STUFF!!!!! YALL ARE AWESOME!!!
To anyone wondering why she was cut during her announcement is to sync their broadcast with the other nhk channels, which was broadcasting the same announcment, but this channel was the first one to announce it since it's broadcasted live.
+stampycatfan01 Those noises that you here are very important because it contains critical information on what the warning is about . If you don't like it, too bad.

while for us Americans that’s actually the most pleasant sounding noise we’re gonna ever hear things to the EAS system wanting to make us kill our selves
No, the scariest sound is when you hear a loud "BOOM" and then your house starts to shake and you suddenly feel like you're on a boat. And your phone is saying, "Jishin desu! Jishin desu!" Saitama M6.1 earthquake. 7 October 2021.
Why can't the US have pleasant alert tones and NOT that terrifying eas alert? Because the attention warning only causes more fear and more unrest while a Japan's alert is much unsettling.
code lyoko 34 Japan's alerts are like this because of Japanese Culture. It is a culture of respect. So, usually, if someone is speaking, they would listen.
Here in California they're supposed to build something similar to this system and people were complaining about it like crazy. Obviously the people close to the epice epicenter of the quake won't benefit much from it, but if it can warn those farther out about those incoming S waves, then I think it would save lives. Look how much time they had in some places to get to safety before the quake hit in some places. All states within the range of the San Andreas fault line should have a system like this. No?
I'm working on a documentary about the next big one in California and what an early warning system might do to help. Nobody wants to pay for the system but it would surely save lives, or at the very least, provide some psychological reassurance to many people who would know what to anticipate.
Most people will speak a smattering of English. It doesn't have to be perfect. Plus the severe shaking would be enough to prompt anyone to stay the fuck off the shoreline. :P The videos you see of people standing around while the tsunami roars around them are people who knows that the building they're on will hold. That or complete nutcases.
CloverLovesTT 29.6% of foreigners who live in japan are Chinese, 26.6% Korean, 14.1% Brazilian. They are Major 3. So this makes sense that they have chinese, korean and portuguese broadcasting. The Foreighners who can speak english as their native language are up to only 5% if you also include Filipino. but hey, english is some kind of global language and bunch of people can english as second language! The little problem is russian.. Russia is also their neighboring country beside Korea and China.
You gotta respect that lady's determination and composure while reading the teleprompter while the studio shakes.. I'd say "To hell with this" and run to shelter.
The red stripes represent a stronger tsunami warning than the yellow ones, but not the strongest possible tsunami warning, which is indicated by red and white stripes.
Here in the US, the news anchors stop and say "Woah..what's shaking?" before taking cover under the desk. In Japan, they calmly continue on reading off the predicted affected areas.
I've lived in Japan and experienced both systems. Believe me, there are other ways Japan's EAS can scare or annoy you. You ever been woken up at 3am by a loud announcement of a relatively small earthquake occurring 1,000 miles away? I have.
It looks so eerie when it shows a live feed, you don't know what to look for but you know that something is wrong. Plus the quality and the low FPS of the first camera just adds to the eeriness. Not sure if anybody else feels that way though.
I remember on one occasion in the last 10 seconds they were like: "EVERYONE! PLEASE REMEMBER THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE! WE WILL BE SAFE! EVACUATE EMMID-". Spooky.
I really admire Japan's EEW System! It has been the subject of my research here in the Philippines since we are also experiencing earthquakes and possible tsunamis. I hope that this applies to all countries to invest their money on advanced technology for natural calamities ❤❤❤
I never knew that hosts on NHK are required to stop and read the emergency message, regardless of whatever is being broadcast, plus they have to remain stationary in front of the camera, even when they should be in cover, which is very brave by the way
The alert is kinda quick response, even the earthquake just reached the news room after 20 seconds after the first alert had been released Japan is so advanced and expert about emergency situation
Japan: Ding dong! Ding dong! Watch out for bad weather! ^-^ America: BRAAAAAAAP BRAAAAAAAAP BRAAAAAAAAAP! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!! UR GONNA FUCKING DIE
Everyone: The sounds that went off when the people were on the show was only an early warning. It only sounds like "ding dong!" because it's just an advisory. However, the actual warning doesn't sound so "kawaii! (^-^)" at 3:41. It sounds like a phone ringing but more loud and more continuous. It's really fascinating how it displays the warning in several languages. Well done, Japan.
part of those sounds are for getting your attention no matter what and other parts of those sounds are used to activate weather radios and notify tv and radio stations of the area it is taking effect.

緊急地震速報が鳴っても話をやめない落語家の鑑
Wot?
@Andrew Contreras it says A rakugo storyteller who doesn't stop talking even when an earthquake early warning rings
I love how the atmosphere changed from lighthearted to serious in a snap XD
The earthquake alarm is quite polite and cute.
Also, it’s super scary to see the whole studio quake.
Kudos for this brave woman and others who stayed calm just to do their job. She could have hid or escaped to safety but she stayed. You can sense that she is scared but she is firm. Salute!
Japan's Alerts: *cellphone ringing* Hey, there's a tsunami coming! You should prepare for it! ^-^
America's Alerts: *sCREEEEEEEEEEEE* *sCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE* THERE'S A TSUNAMI COMING EVERYONE RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
Me in America: ow why does america have to issue earrape to us
Bethdacat TFM the 3 sounds contain information like what the alert is, where it’s for, and who issued it.
@@PennsylvaniaEAS i dont think this person cares what a SAME header is, they will juat keep going "lol it's too scary"
SageSJ50 without a SAME header you could get constant alerts that aren’t for you
@@PennsylvaniaEAS ik but this guy doesn't care what a same header js
IKR I’m still scared of emM
Her face while she trying to interrupt the man is so nice during the earthquake alert
Y'know, at 0.41 when she says "Fukushima", that's when the nervousness really kicks in. The faintest catch in her voice, considering the situation back then, I totally understand why!
I think she and her family lived there.
the fear in the woman's voice is very genuine, i really do hope in the future no one will ever get hurt from natural disasters, no matter which country they're from.
Japan is the most technologically prepared country for getting quake info out fast. They take advantage of the speed difference between the P-waves (faster but not much shaking) and the S-waves (slower but much more violent).
For anyone wondering:
The noise at 3:40 is a signal to turn on all other TV’s in the house, let’s say a child is watching TV in one room and all other TV’s in the house are off. Once this sound plays all other TV’s will turn on and broadcast the warning,
Wow, so could that happen in USA, or Australia too?
@@Brayden15 it could but we havent implemented a system like Japan's. Instead they give us creepy eas sirens to make us pay attention
@@divideindustries7591 but like what I'm saying is, "is there a system where it activates all TVs and starts the alarm?"
Will the TV that this child is watching also tune into the channel?
@@toyseal5665 I'm assuming yes..
The English guy sounds like the guy from cops that says "all suspects are innocent until proven guilty" lol
**UPDATE**
300 LIKES ON ME STUFF!!!!! YALL ARE AWESOME!!!
mock ESPN Network It’s probably the same thing
@@ranelgallardo7031 that's what I thought too.
It's more like Pimsleur's voice
Pimsuler : go to high grounds
Or like the intro guy in Judge Judy that says "Have you been cheated on, contact Judge Judy"
I really like this video, it shows Japan's amazing technology at work: )
To anyone wondering why she was cut during her announcement is to sync their broadcast with the other nhk channels, which was broadcasting the same announcment, but this channel was the first one to announce it since it's broadcasted live.
Japan: Ding Dong Ding Dong
USA: (SILENT HILL SIREN) oh shit.....
Mark Reilly
Japan: ding dong; oh, come in, tsunami.
America: BRAAP THIS BEEP CONTAINS INFO About LOCATIONS AND THE ALERT.
Mark Reilly IKR XD
Real cut is at 3:39
+stampycatfan01 Those noises that you here are very important because it contains critical information on what the warning is about . If you don't like it, too bad.
TheBoringJack are you talking about the normal Japanese alert?
The English voice reminds me of Professor Utonium from the Powerpuff Girls.
Professor : girls a tsunami warning has been issued

@@Michaelgurl4ever on march the 11th 2011th a powerful earthquake struck Japan
It was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake
With a tunsunami
It devastated Japan
Japan’s most scariest sound in the country is a “ding ding”
while for us Americans that’s actually the most pleasant sounding noise we’re gonna ever hear things to the EAS system wanting to make us kill our selves
I think the scariest sound is the missile alarm
@@ethanisgett7415 the nuke siren just aint it
No, the scariest sound is when you hear a loud "BOOM" and then your house starts to shake and you suddenly feel like you're on a boat. And your phone is saying, "Jishin desu! Jishin desu!" Saitama M6.1 earthquake. 7 October 2021.
I’m so glad to hear the broadcast which uses Chinese language!
1:25 I think she's about to cry
How calm, I can see the worries in her eyes and so polite to stop the Chinese man from talking also when the camera shaking from the earthquake😰
Japanese comedian who visited China
A man wearing traditional Japanese attire and fluently speaking Japanese, and I can't brain why people call him "Chinese" lol
It's really nice how they relay the info in different languages. The EAS should take some notes.
Japan: Door Closing alarm

Why can't the US have pleasant alert tones and NOT that terrifying eas alert?
Because the attention warning only causes more fear and more unrest while a Japan's alert is much unsettling.
I guess they thought it was a "brilliant" idea to grab your attention by making you feel uncomfortable
The whole goal of having that scary tone is to get everyone's attention
code lyoko 34 Japan's alerts are like this because of Japanese Culture. It is a culture of respect. So, usually, if someone is speaking, they would listen.
code lyoko 34 because we use SAME technology b
Chris Lancour Also, the Japanese alert sound is meant to wake up old analog TVs and radios
Incredible professionalism. ❤️
Here in California they're supposed to build something similar to this system and people were complaining about it like crazy. Obviously the people close to the epice epicenter of the quake won't benefit much from it, but if it can warn those farther out about those incoming S waves, then I think it would save lives. Look how much time they had in some places to get to safety before the quake hit in some places. All states within the range of the San Andreas fault line should have a system like this. No?
I'm working on a documentary about the next big one in California and what an early warning system might do to help. Nobody wants to pay for the system but it would surely save lives, or at the very least, provide some psychological reassurance to many people who would know what to anticipate.
***** it's a Quarter of million people who died not half, half is 500,000
Juan Navarro If there were to be a major earthquake near the San Andreas fault line would Arizona be greatly affected?
Imagine the people in Japan who didn't speak ANY of these languages (hey, it's possible)....
Who the fuck is in Japan and does not speak neither Japanese, English nor Chinese? Stupid imbeciles that is
***** Its possible? Only possible if they are 'Muripigs
Every dumb people would know there is something wrong.
Most people will speak a smattering of English. It doesn't have to be perfect. Plus the severe shaking would be enough to prompt anyone to stay the fuck off the shoreline. :P The videos you see of people standing around while the tsunami roars around them are people who knows that the building they're on will hold. That or complete nutcases.
CloverLovesTT 29.6% of foreigners who live in japan are Chinese, 26.6% Korean, 14.1% Brazilian. They are Major 3. So this makes sense that they have chinese, korean and portuguese broadcasting. The Foreighners who can speak english as their native language are up to only 5% if you also include Filipino. but hey, english is some kind of global language and bunch of people can english as second language! The little problem is russian.. Russia is also their neighboring country beside Korea and China.
They have a better sound
Japan: Ding Ding
US: DRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN DRUUUUUUN BEEEEEEEEEEP
xD
Actually In japan, BRRPRBPRBRPRBPRBRPRBRPBRPRB. 3:40

It's over tsunami, I have the high ground!
tsunami: you underestimate my power
You gotta respect that lady's determination and composure while reading the teleprompter while the studio shakes.. I'd say "To hell with this" and run to shelter.
Wow. It is so professionally done. All the language annunciation are so professional and calm.
Poor woman, I could see the fear in her voice and eyes. Condolences to all families affected.
That second had nervousness that i never knew i could feel.
The red stripes represent a stronger tsunami warning than the yellow ones, but not the strongest possible tsunami warning, which is indicated by red and white stripes.
Ah, well, I guess since I’ve seen those before I’m gonna die! Yay
They've since changed that striped warning to a pink color. Something about color blindness.
Here in the US, the news anchors stop and say "Woah..what's shaking?" before taking cover under the desk. In Japan, they calmly continue on reading off the predicted affected areas.
If I ever choose to become president of the United states, I'm going to change the EAS alarm to Japan's alarm. The Us Alarm is so loud and scary.
YES PLEASE
I've lived in Japan and experienced both systems. Believe me, there are other ways Japan's EAS can scare or annoy you. You ever been woken up at 3am by a loud announcement of a relatively small earthquake occurring 1,000 miles away? I have.
YES
@@timeweaselproduction true but more scary in the usa UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Honestly if it sounded this gentle most people would dismiss it
It looks so eerie when it shows a live feed, you don't know what to look for but you know that something is wrong. Plus the quality and the low FPS of the first camera just adds to the eeriness. Not sure if anybody else feels that way though.
I remember on one occasion in the last 10 seconds they were like: "EVERYONE! PLEASE REMEMBER THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE! WE WILL BE SAFE! EVACUATE EMMID-". Spooky.
Its good how to broadcast in English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.. It helps tourists
Tbh, the English warning voice sounds pretty familiar to Peter Von Gomm.
3:42 when you ring the doorbell and no one answers so you ring a lot more
everybody gangsta till the tv start talkin in morse code
Damn.... japan is calm af
I really admire Japan's EEW System! It has been the subject of my research here in the Philippines since we are also experiencing earthquakes and possible tsunamis. I hope that this applies to all countries to invest their money on advanced technology for natural calamities ❤❤❤
I never knew that hosts on NHK are required to stop and read the emergency message, regardless of whatever is being broadcast, plus they have to remain stationary in front of the camera, even when they should be in cover, which is very brave by the way
The alert is kinda quick response, even the earthquake just reached the news room after 20 seconds after the first alert had been released
Japan is so advanced and expert about emergency situation
I would rather hear this than freaking " *EEEEEEEHH EEEEEEEEH EEEEH EEEH EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH* "
She stays so calm
Japan: Ding dong! Ding dong! Watch out for bad weather! ^-^
America: BRAAAAAAAP BRAAAAAAAAP BRAAAAAAAAAP! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!! UR GONNA FUCKING DIE
Actually... 3:39
I rather be woken up by a loud blare if there's bad weather than something akin to a text message, tbh
How quickly they go from joking and having fun being all serious astounds me
Lady @ 0:28 lowkey looking at him like “excuse me could you kindly stfu so I can announce this earthquake warning please and thank you” lol
More like I'm sorry to interrupt
¡Qué agradable comunicadora! (y hasta enternecedora), especialmente en momentos tan graves como ese.

The way she politely interrupted the gentleman was the cutest thing ever. Poor thing though, you could she was really scared
I agree, you could she was really scared 💀
Wow that's much less annoying than ours here in the US. The US alert\warning creeps me the fuck out whenever it plays.
When I Was 4 I Would Always Cry Because It Scared The Crap Outta Me
Same with me especially when it happens at night
Japan's still gives me nightmares tho
Mia Brock Why's that?
+TVGF100 (Please subscribe to my new channel, EdMaxtor) it's the loud buzzing sound that annoys me
That woman was trying so hard not to have a mental breakdown
Everyone: The sounds that went off when the people were on the show was only an early warning. It only sounds like "ding dong!" because it's just an advisory.
However, the actual warning doesn't sound so "kawaii! (^-^)" at 3:41. It sounds like a phone ringing but more loud and more continuous.
It's really fascinating how it displays the warning in several languages. Well done, Japan.
that's not a warning. that's the code to turn on all TVs that receive the signal so everyone is alerted.
I was gonna say that sounds like something being sent with some kinda fsk neat
meanwhile South Korea nearly above Japan:
Newscaster : Although an earthquake occurred, the regular broadcast does not stop.
Holy crap! They have samurai on their news programs!
Legend has it dude is still telling his story
Even the warning siren on Japanese TV is kawaii
Their tsunami warning system sounds so calm
If I saw an earthquake warning that covered almost one third the map of Japan I would need brown trousers.
Straight from an interview with a guy talking about China to an earthquake warning, and then to the fine details.
True refinement.
That and whenever I look at this, Miyagi prefecture seems to get lots of tsunami.
ALL ABOUT PROFESSIONALITY, JUST IT, LOVE IT
Japan TV alert system: Ding ding sound
US TV alert system: *LOUD NUCLEAR SIREN EARRAPE*
Canada: BROKEN LOUD NUCLEAR SIREN EARRAPE
part of those sounds are for getting your attention no matter what and other parts of those sounds are used to activate weather radios and notify tv and radio stations of the area it is taking effect.
The Japanese warning: nice calm
Rest of the world: BEEP BOOP YOU ARE SCREWED SON
陸から遠いのに10県も緊急速報出てんの怖すぎる

In my country when there's an earthquake and tsunami, the TV takes 1 minute change from regular airing to breaking news.
