I'm grateful for the alarm system too. I live in iwaki about 50 miles from the Fukushima plants and it's always scary knowing the right size earthquake could be enough to do us in, but id rather have those false alarms and be safe than have it be the real thing. Be glad there's any warning at all. And for those saying they didn't get a warning on 3/11, they implemented the system AFTER the big one to try and prevent the disaster from occurring again.
I can't stand all the smug remarks about something that is a convenience, not a right. Be glad the technology has been invented and that it is available to you.

If you don't like it, don't listen. I admit it's not great, but being a fan of hatsune miku and the technology behind her, I can appreciate the ability to use her like this. Get a brain.
