Ummmmmm. So yeah I have not clicked to read the article but im like pretty sure tokyo is in the millions. I have not done a search for it yet but im like sure on the level that its in millions that its hard to bother putting it into a search engine. I mean its bigger than chicago. EDITED - read the article and LOL I read it as drops to 800k not drops by 800k. Its really funny if your in my head right now.

I read it as drops to 800k

That would be a little terrifying.
