Jolly bilingual and Tokyo resident, can be heard on @NPR's hourly newscasts. Tweets may portend the apocalypse.　日本語ＯＫ

@StageRabbit @lilyproJP Kinda yeah! It's called a phone :p but I do believe there are dashboard apps for desktop. Can look into it.

@MissRinAelia Re-entry has been possible for normal residents for some time already, but there's always a possibility that borders are fully closed to non-citizens (as happened some months ago).

@benz145 Ben - dropped you a few contacts (email/LinkedIn) but putting together a story and could use some expert comments on remote presence and where the tech is today. Get hold of me if you've got a moment.

First question right away is about lockdown. Koike says a lockdown is unavoidable if the current trend continues. Wants people to try to change things through the weekend. (Implies lockdown decision could come next week if things don’t change)

@jakeadelstein Precisely my question when he finished that answer. Don't know much about the accused's recourse but can't imagine it's very strong if the interpreter flubbed reading out the statement.

[John Matthews @jonjonjapon]

@pimaxofficial Oooooh, please tell me you have a plan for Tokyo. I might have a venue in mind if you're thinking about it/have the availability.

[John Matthews @jonjonjapon]

@rdviii @nntokyo We owe a lot to @nagatacho_grid on that one - it's a nicely-lit venue and the soundboard is super-easy to work with.

[John Matthews @jonjonjapon]

@johnstempinNPR @JHBaileyDC Still pretty thin on damage reports so far - no threat of tsunami either. Keeping an eye on it.

[John Matthews @jonjonjapon]

Just shipped off audio to @NPR Newscast about the @haya2e_jaxa mission - feel very proud to have been able to hear the story of its predecessor's rocky mission from @critesss at @nntokyo #DidYouTryInvertingTheDeflectorShieldThough

@GameTomoJP もしかして・・・コンシューマー向けVR版もご出版頂けそうかな？SUPERHOT VRはVRユーザーでは非常に評価されてた（こっちも持っており定期的に遊んでます）

[John Matthews @jonjonjapon]

@ThilinaH @nntokyo @Diddy Wow damn, thank you!

[John Matthews @jonjonjapon]

@alebaffa @nntokyo I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS OVERSIGHT @nntokyo

#SciComAgora @girlandkat Being edited is like "Winter is Coming" to you - so is the lesson to never ride south into the bullpen? (Spoiler: Sean Bean always dies)

@aijune1214 @robotopia @GoomyDesign @nntokyo Our next event is on the 15th of December, we'll start at 8pm :) Hope we see you there

[John Matthews @jonjonjapon]

@miolette @nntokyo @DSakya Mostly plotting its death, is my guess.

(Also that was totally a feeble attempt at humor :3)

@miolette @nntokyo @DSakya Any cat owner knows that you don't need your vacuum to recognize your cat - your cat will immediately recognize the vacuum noise and vacate to the next county.
