This seems to be more of a rigorous study than some pseudo-scientist claiming that the next big one will happen next month to increase sales of Japan's weekly magazines.

May be worth checking the best before dates on emergency supplies and getting some in if you don't already have some.

Interesting thread that. If the guy had some ability, it's strange that he didn't predict the Tohoku quake in 2011.
