Take a look at those two photos. Both are taken from the hotel in Akasaka looking toward Shinjyuku. One on the top was taken in 2009 and the bottom is taken two week ago.

You can see it is much darker in 2011. This is not because of the rolling blackout, it is just people and companies saving electricity. The power generation in the eastern Japan is running about 60 to 70%, so the people need to conserve or face catastrophic power outage.
