It shows it pays to affix the top of your book cabinets to the wall in earthquaky areas.

This simulator must simulate a room on top of a very tall building... the phase frequency of the quake simulator is a lot lower than on the famous 1995 footage:

A typical Japanese office is a fuckin death trap with the notoriously mile-high stacked cabinets full of paper documents from around the end of World War II period. I guess they still keep them for "auditing and accounting purposes."

With the exception of the offices of the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare. They found a way to clandestinely clear out piles of overstacked and overflowing shelves. By 'misplacing' those pension records, they've ensured the safety of their bureaucrats! ;)
