‘Civilised way mai vibe': Japanese crowd's calm reaction to Daler Mehndi's ‘Tunak Tunak Tun' goes viral
The clip, filmed at the World Expo in Osaka, features a stage performance of Daler Mehndi's iconic Tunak Tunak Tun song, complete with dancers and a Punjabi singer leading the show.
What stole the show was the audience's reaction to the song. Instead of the usual jumping and dancing one might expect, the Japanese crowd vibed to the beat in a measured, synchronised manner, clapping with enthusiasm. The contrast was so striking that one X user, @Oye_Jahazi, posted the video with the caption: 'Japanese log Punjabi songs pe bhi itne civilised way me vibe karte hain (Even when Japanese people vibe to Punjabi songs, they do it in such a civilised way).'

The post quickly gained traction, with thousands of views and plenty of comments. 'Most civilized country for a reason,' one user remarked. Another quipped, 'Bechare bachpan se shant log hai (They've been calm since childhood). One of the nicest human breed on earth.'
Meanwhile, a Japanese travel vlogger recently stirred discussion with a video reflecting on his interactions with Indians he met during his travels abroad. Unlike the viral Osaka clip, this one carried a more reflective, and somewhat critical, tone.
The vlogger questioned a recurring pattern he noticed: 'I met so many amazing Indians while travelling abroad. But almost all of them said the same thing.'
He said many Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) told him they left because they felt 'the system holds back those who want to do something big in India.' Another comment that kept coming up, he added, was: 'India is too hard to live in.' His video has since led to debate online, with viewers reacting to what some see as a harsh reality and others defending their homeland against generalisation.

Japanese Baba Vanga's chilling tsunami prediction comes true after 25 days as warnings issued for 44 countries in…?; here's what she had predicted for…
Representational Image/AI-generated. The entire world is rattled by a powerful magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, which has triggered tsunami alerts in as many as 44 countries in the Pacific Ocean region, and led many to believe that Ryo Tatsuki, a Japanese manga artist and prophet, may have accurately predicted the cataclysmic even in manga she published several years ago. Why Japan's Baba Vanga is back in spotlight after Russia earthquake? Interestingly, the Kamchatka earthquake that sent tsunami waves as far as Japan's Hokkaido island, occurred weeks after many social media users turned the spotlight on Watashi ga Mita Mirai (The Future I Saw), a manga published in 1999 by Ryo Tatsuki– often dubbed as the New Baba Vanga– in which she had purportedly prophesized about a similar disaster taking place in July 2025. The Russia earthquake has piqued renewed interest in Ryo Tatsuki's manga as many of her fans and followers believe that the Japanese prophet has accurately predicted major world events, including the deaths of Princess Diana and Freddie Mercury, the COVID-19 outbreak , as well as the March 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Earlier this year, fans of Tatsuki's work claimed that the artist had predicted a major cataclysm to occur on July, but nothing particular happened on the day, leaving many to believe that her predictions were nothing but hoax and people finding patterns in anything they are invested in. What netizens are saying about Ryo Tatsuki? However, the Ryo Tatsuki has shot back into focus after a tsunami alert was issued for as many 44 countries across the globe, from Indonesia, Japan, to Australia, following a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, which triggered tsunami waves in the Pacific Ocean. Social media is abuzz with many linking Tatsuki's manga to the latest earthquake and tsunami alerts. 'Massive 3 Feet Tsunami Alert for the entire Coast of Japan after a Powerful Magnitude of 8.8 Earthquake in the Coast of Russia, Japanese Manga Predictor Ryo Tatsuki, The Future I Saw, who predicted the 2011 Quake did it again! Stay safe, Japan,' one user wrote. 'How did New Baba Vanga, Ryo Tatsuki, predict a mega Tsunami for July 2025? If you're on the West Coast, GET AWAY FROM THE WATER,' another commented. 'Not the exact date, but you have to respect Ryo Tatsuki,' a third chimed in. Kamchatka earthquake Earlier, a powerful earthquake, measuring 8.8 on the Richter Scale, struck the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia's far east on Wednesday. As per the USGS, the quake, which struck at a depth 19.3 km (12 miles), was epicentered 25 km (80 miles) east-southeast of Petropavlovsk in Russia's Kamchatka peninsula along the coast of Avacha Bay. The USGS had earlier categorized it as a 8.0 magnitude tremor but later revised the seismic reading to magnitude 8.8. Social media videos showed the devastation caused by the massive earthquake, as buildings shook violently due to the tremor, while infrastructure damage was reported as several places in the region.

From Japan Sinks: 2020 to Fukushima 50: How film and TV captured survival and loss after Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami
Early Wednesday, the sea rose once again as a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of eastern Russia, triggering tsunami waves that surged across the Pacific. The waves reached Hawaii, California, Guam, and Washington. Russia's Kuril Islands were among the first hit, prompting a state of emergency. Even Japan, a nation long accustomed to disaster, felt the tremors in Hokkaido and parts of Tokyo. Tsunami warnings stretched across the map, from Alaska to New Zealand. The quake was described as the most violent since Japan's catastrophic 2011 megaquake, which shocked the world as entire communities were swallowed by water and a nuclear crisis erupted. But while facts make headlines, it's the personal stories that stay with us. For Japan, earthquakes and tsunamis are not just natural disasters - they are scars, memories, and survival tales woven into the nation's cultural fabric. Over the years, filmmakers and creators have turned to anime, documentaries, and dramas to tell stories that facts alone cannot - stories of loss, resilience, hope, and the quiet courage to begin again. Here are some of the most powerful portrayals of what happens when the sea rises, the ground splits, and humanity is left to pick up the pieces. Fukushima 50 (Film) Where to watch: Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, Google Play, Tubi, and iQIYI (availability varies by region) The term 'Fukushima 50' refers to a group of courageous workers who remained at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami triggered a nuclear crisis.

The Days (Series) Where to watch: Netflix Released on June 1, 2023, this Japanese biographical drama follows government officials and workers at Fukushima Daiichi in the immediate aftermath of the 2011 disaster.

Cans of Hope (Short Documentary) Where to watch: IMDb This short documentary follows the revival of Kinoya Ishinomaki Suisan - a canning company in Ishinomaki - and the surrounding town as they rebuild in the years following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The Asadas (Movie) Where to watch: MUBI, Plex, JustWatch Set in the wake of a tsunami and nuclear meltdown, this biographical drama follows a young photographer who copes with personal loss by capturing heartfelt portraits of his family.

Japan Sinks: 2020 (Anime) Where to watch: Netflix Adapted from Sakyo Komatsu's 1973 disaster novel Japan Sinks, this anime by Devilman Crybaby director Masaaki Yuasa follows a family's survival as Japan is struck by massive earthquakes. Komatsu's novel earned critical acclaim, winning the Mystery Writers of Japan Award and the Seiun Award. It was translated into English in 1975, reissued after the 1995 Osaka-Kobe earthquake, and followed by a sequel co-written with Kōshū Tani in 2006. Japan's Tragedy (Drama) Where to watch: The Criterion Channel, MUBI, Plex Set in 2010, a year when over 31,000 people died by suicide and nearly 20,000 were lost in a major earthquake, this poignant drama centers on Fujio Murai, an unemployed widower diagnosed with lung cancer.
