Tokyo and Kanto area is having a bit of power crisis after many of the power plants (nuclear, water, and thermal) went off as a result of the huge earthquake on Friday 11 March.
The power-saving initiative is in full swing. More than half of the shop sign lights in my neighbourhood are off. Even this 7-11.
都内のセブンイレブン、節電中で看板の1つの電気が消えている。数百メートル先のファミマは看板がまったく電気なし、並びの24時間営業の牛丼屋も看板は消灯。

I seldom see this shelf this empty.

... And it's around 7:00am! Already!
(They deliver bento and Onigiri around 5:30 or 6:00am every day I think.)

I'm sure they'll be gone in an hour, though. People are eager to buy food, afraid of another big quake. (It may be a really serious one for Tokyo!)

After the quake:
Tokyo is not seriously affected by the quake, especially the western part. This is the only "scar" I could find in my neighbourhood so far: broken plant pots.
Of course I'm unscratched, so are my family. Friends are okay, too. My kitchen was a mess as well as my room, though, and my favourite teapot died.
