Send us a textIn the next episode of Supernatural Japan, we dive into a bizarre and unsettling story that’s recently made headlines across Asia. Host Kevin O’Shea sits down with journalist Jay Allen, founder of Unseen Japan, to discuss his investigation into a decades-old manga (私が見た未来 - The Future I’ve Seen) that has resurfaced and sparked fear among Hong Kong tourists. The comic warns of a massive tsunami set to strike Japan in July—an eerie prophecy that’s gone viral and convinced some travelers to cancel their trips. Is this a case of uncanny foresight, mass hysteria, or just a strange twist in Japan’s long tradition of apocalyptic folklore? Tune in as we explore the intersection of pop culture, paranoia, and the supernatural.Read Jay’s article about this topic on Unseen Japan:https://unseen-japan.com/manga-july-disaster-tourism/Support the podcast (Help fund the creation of new episodes):https://buymeacoffee.com/busankevinFollow the podcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/supernaturaljapanBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/madformaple.bsky.socialX: https://x.com/MadForMapleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551918404228&mibextid=LQQJ4dEmail: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BusanKevinNEW podcast companion blogs! https://justjapanstuff.com/Website: https://supernaturaljapan.buzzsprout.comSupport the show
