The magnitude earthquake 8.9 raided northeastern Japan before, many earthquake prediction research experts have claimed, southern Japan, in particular, southwest of Tokyo, will face an "earthquake." This "poles apart" situation that human problems of earthquake prediction is still a long way to go.
