As for another reason, it might not be the same people. With over 132 million people living in a country the chances are one or two people might have the same name.
Who knows how many people live in the effected area??

As for "official" confirmation the news has other priorities then to hunt out if one or two famous people are dead. THis is a crisis that envoles more then just your love for one or two celebrities.

They are not dead. One person total in Tokyo has been confirmed dead as a result of the earthquake.

I myself was on my way home from work when it happened and was one of the millions that found themselves with no way home yesterday, so I walked home for 6 hours. (very tired today) I lived in California for 7 years and never felt an earthquake like this one. In Tokyo, it lasted for at least 3 minutes and was the strongest I have felt before, so I can only imagine what it must have been like in the Northern part of Japan. In Tokyo, it was scary but ultimately not life threatening.

Luckily (well I hate to use the word lucky) but the most effected regions of Japan are pretty rural areas, but definitely the death toll will be higher than 300 especially since I would say the majority of people living there are probably elderly and couldn't get out in time.

My boyfriend's hometown is Sendai and we just learned finally that his sister and nieces are all safe. Still waiting to hear from his friends in that area. Cell phones have been basically useless since the earthquake started. You can still access the net with them, which is how Ayu is able to do Twitter, but even now I can't make any calls.

I'm glad that you and your boyfriend's family are ok!

I'm so sorry that you had no home to return to. I just can not imagine that. I hope for the best for you in the future. Stay strong and support those around you.

Thanks for your kindness everyone!

Tokyo seems to be getting back to normal, although convenience store shelves are basically empty. Haven't checked a Supermarket yet. We were having small aftershocks still even last night. Tokyo it seems will be fine. The northern part of Honshu though is another story.

I was very relieved to learn during this quake that Japan's strict building codes work! As far as I know, no building in Tokyo fell. Had a quake that lasted this long happened in California I can't imagine not a single building falling.
