Why Are Tourists Suddenly Leaving Japan Before July 2025? Megaquake is coming?
So something weird is happening around Japan right now. Since late June, the Tokara Island chain has been hit by a relentless earthquake swarm over 800 tremors. It’s a terrifying realtime seismic event. But what’s turning this anxiety into genuine fear across the nation is that it’s happening just days before a notorious prophecy predicts a mega disaster for Japan. I don’t understand. [Music] [Music] If you open the social media right now in Japan, all of them are talking about this. And weirdly, one story become a hot topic right now in Asia. And that story came from this book. This actual book which I think in Japanese is called [Music] So, this book has a collection of prophetic dreams from a reclusive artist named Rio Tatski. And one of those dreams is a warning about a catastrophe in July of 2025. [Music] So, according to this book, she says that [Music] which means like this month. So, so that’s basically what she said. So she said that she had a dream and in that dream there’s going to be like a huge explosion in the sea between Philippine and Japan sea and then she’s not quite sure whether it’s like a bomb or it’s like eruption of volcanoes but the cause of that explosion is it’s going to trigger a huge tsunami. So this is this is pretty serious allegations. I mean I don’t know. I I felt like it’s quite to me at first when I listen to this I’m like okay I mean it’s just a dream right? It couldn’t it couldn’t be true. And then you can see here even in the book cover they put like a cover here where she said that the real the real disaster is coming on 2025 um July and yeah so that’s how this whole rumor is getting like amplified and she also like the crazy part is guys she also provide like a detail imagery of what she see and you can see here like where the seabed is exploding she even ripped in here like the the boiling water. And then you can see here where she said 2021 2021 um July 5th 4:18 a.m. which is like the date that she has this dream. Now normally this would end just like a stupid conspiracy theory from like a manga or like comic book, but I’m telling you it’s more than that because this exact rumors is costing like thousands of flights being cancelled coming to Japan. Even the governments like need to make a statement saying that hey this is not true guys don’t believe this manga predictions or prophecy but like why why people are making fuss about that like I I don’t quite understand it’s just a prophecy in a manga so the power of this rumor comes down to one chillingly specific detail on the cover of her 1999 book Tatsuki wrote this a great disaster in March 2011 12 years later the deadliest tsunami in Japan’s modern history fulfilled that prophecy. Hello, good evening. Japan’s prime minister has said the country is facing its worst crisis since the Second World War, and there are fears the death toll could reach tens of thousands. For a country defined by that trauma, this felt impossible to ignore. This one hit gave everything else she said a terrifying weight. And her followers will tell you there’s a pattern. The Coobe earthquake in 1995, she predict that. So basically they said that she predicted everything every disasters that’s happening to Japan. Are they vague? Maybe but for believers it was a track record and her latest prediction is terrifyingly specific. It’s not just earthquake. She dreamed a massive fissure in the ocean floor. She even dreamed that she saw it in a Google Earth kind of like vision. So the thing is this particular line is very scary. [Music] this like this particular line. Do it like this. So this particular line. So what’s so scary about it is like she’s literally saying that the size of the tsunami that’s coming right now is like the three times of the size that we have in 2011. I mean that that is very disastrous if we have that. Yeah. I mean I really hope that this prophecy is not true because we’re going to be we’re kind of I mean if this is true. So I look at the other side of the story, the official side, the government, the scientists, the news and they are all saying the same thing. The GMA says short-term earthquake prediction is physically impossible. They say Japan gets 100 earthquakes a year. So one happening on a given day is just statistics. The author herself has even published a new book trying to calm people down saying it’s not a definite event. Basically this is baseless. This is fiction. And they have a point because science is based on probability not prophecy. But even though the facts are given, it is not that simple because the story gets complicated from here because the facts weren’t enough to stop the fear. The rumor first exploded overseas. It was amplified by local influencers and spiritualists in Hong Kong and Taiwan. That’s where the flight cancellation started. Then that wave of panic started to echo back to Japan. But the real tipping point is the thing that made everyone in Japan start paying attention was the very thing we saw at the start, the earthquake swarm. Suddenly the prophecy didn’t feel so distant. The abstract fury now had a real world tremor attached to it. The government call it a coincidence, but for many it felt like a sign. I mean, even for me, at first I didn’t believe any of this, but now I don’t want to go near to any beach. The author right now will call her dream as a warning about instability. But with Japan right now being hit with the real seismic activity, you have to wonder, is this a coincidence or a prophecy that is about to come true? We will see.
私が見た未来 The future I see
The Tokara Islands have rattled more than 840 times in ten days—just as a 1999 manga claims Japan will face catastrophe on July 5, 2025. Airlines are scrubbing routes, tourists are bailing, and #july5th is blowing up across Asia. Is it pure coincidence, or are we staring down a prophecy?
In this video I dig into:
• Ryo Tatsuki’s eerie manga and its “hits” on Kobe ’95, March 2011,
• How the rumor leapt from Taiwan & Hong Kong social feeds back into Japan
• What an earthquake swarm really is, and why scientists say short-term prediction is impossible
• The official stance from the Japan Meteorological Agency vs. what locals feel on the street
• Practical tips to stay safe, sane, and maybe still enjoy your trip

Thanks for providing all the sides of this story! The science makes sense, but it’s true that we don’t always understand things in the world… the latest seismic activity can’t be ignored! I really appreciate how thorough your videos are, even when short!
why do u only have 642 subs thanks for the explanation
Is this the 1999 book or the updated version?
Also, I listened to a video that said she sees an older man, in a white robe, who talks to her in her dreams. She believes he is the creator. Is this written in either of the books? Thank you.
you're the only one that has shown the inside of the book. Thank you for that.
I had a dream of the ocean flooding the harbor up the roofs this year. And I believe her prediction of a tsunami will come true. I am half way across the pacific. And people here never heard of her or taking this seriously. They're preparing to celebrate fourth of july and burn fireworks. People not buying water and food for two weeks. Even my boss just laughed it off. But when volcanos start out gassing, usually by the next day there will be an eruption.
The earthquake swam is scary
Would you please read us the book, page by page and show us the illustrations? Many of us cannot read Japanese. This would be a very good video.
Good video about this topic. Thank you for reading it. I pray that it wont happen.
