Chris Broad, Co-founder of Sekai Studios and host of the Abroad in Japan YouTube channel, released a documentary in December 2024 highlighting the recovery of Wajima City in Ishikawa Prefecture — one of the areas most devastated by the Noto Peninsula earthquake on January 1st, 2024.

The video, published on the Abroad in Japan channel, offers a close-up look at life in Wajima nine months after the disaster. It has already surpassed 1,200,000 views in its first three months, drawing praise for its honest storytelling.

The documentary also explores the looming risk of major earthquakes in Tokyo, featuring insights from Professor Kenji Satake of the University of Tokyo, who estimates a 70–80% chance of a magnitude 7 quake hitting Tokyo within the next 30 years. The video includes an exclusive interview with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike on Japan’s disaster readiness and commitment to ensuring safety for residents and visitors alike.
