The big public arenas it seems are cancelling various things left, right and centre. I heard from my hairdresser who also lost quite a few foreign clientile that most went back to the US or others cause there was simply no work as an entertainer/singer/artist anymore, no one is playing. More over, I think more than the nuclear threat or slight shortage of petrol is the electrical cuts. Sure enough, for a power cut to occur mid event would be pointless and we're meant to be conserving, so methinks hence why a lot of things have been, still are being pulled. If nothing else, this emotionally depresses people where there's nothing to look forward to, in order to get through the hard times. If everyone is reminded of how hard and how depressing it is all is, how are we meant to be supportive and strong as we are when that aura of joy or hope is diminished over and over. That's not to say, totally forget about those who are dying or suffering up north, but the rest of us have gotta keep going as well Eitherway, I lost the only two events that I had my heart set on this year to date, the idea of going for hanami somewhere doesn't even appeal at present, since I know quit a few Japanese friends are at the other side of the country, methinks they're still outta Tokyo anyways. :\ Think I need to lock myself in a karaoke room for like 5hrs, which should be remedy enough... On a side note, it's amusing seeing the trains and stations with lights off in the daytimes when it's sunny like today. Technically, living life as such isn't a bad idea to conserve energy all around anyways

I haven't quite figured this little cultural artifact out because they've done it a number of times (anime, movies, etc) because of coincidence with some real life event and it really fails to make much sense sometimes.

It's just posturing. 'We're willing to lose hundreds of millions of yen so we don't make anyone uncomfortable or upset the wa. Look how considerate of others we are! Don't you want to buy other things from a company that's so concerned for society?'

Special Report: Japan quake reveals cracks in insurance system
Quote:
Why? Because earthquakes have a radial AOE : shockwaves travel outwards from a single occurrence zone; unlike hurricanes which will only damage anything in its path. The damage to fixed assets is within zone limits - if the claimant has all of his/her assets within that zone, he/she can effectively bankrupt the entire insurance company in one shot.

I think it's understandable that they don't want to release anything. I think a tv channel got criticized for resumig their normal broadcasts too soon.
still, I don't think that anything bad could happen from releasing a game on time... |
