Bitcoin – what happened yesterday in Japan?

I'm a developer of the Bitcoin Tracker iPad app (http://www.alstertouch.com/bitcoinapp/) and I just noticed a big spike in yesterday's downloads from Japan. Does anyone have any clue what happened over there?

There's been some dude broadcasting a BTC transaction out of North Korea... but I don't believe this would cause a spark of interest in Japan.

Not sure it's related but I know the Bitcoin Tokyo Meetup Group has a meeting tomorrow.
