Tsunami
A tsunami (plural: tsunamis or tsunami; from Japanese: 津波, lit. "harbor wave"; English pronunciation: /tsuːˈnɑːmi/) , also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices), landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Unlike normal ocean waves which are generated by wind or tides which are generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water.
Tsunami waves do not resemble normal sea waves, because their wavelength is far longer. Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may instead initially resemble a rapidly rising tide, and for this reason they are often referred to as tidal waves, although this usage is not favored by the scientific community because tsunamis are not tidal in nature. Tsunamis generally consist of a series of waves with periods ranging from minutes to hours, arriving in a so-called "wave train". Wave heights of tens of meters can be generated by large events. Although the impact of tsunamis is limited to coastal areas, their destructive power can be enormous and they can affect entire ocean basins; the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was among the deadliest natural disasters in human history with at least 230,000 people killed or missing in 14 countries bordering the Indian Ocean.
Tsunami (Marvel Comics)
Tsunami was an imprint of Marvel Comics founded in January 2003.
Overview
Marvel's goal was to create comic books that would appeal to manga readers. Other than in the art, the titles shared little in common, with, for example, Runaways and Sentinel being aimed at children and younger teenagers and Mystique touching on espionage and darker themes better suited for an older audience.
The results were a mixed bag. While New Mutants, Mystique, Runaways and Sentinel earned critical acclaim and a devoted fan following, Human Torch, Namor and Venom were complete flops, with the last surviving to issue 18 only on the back of exceptionally high initial sales.
The imprint was discontinued in late 2003. Mystique was the longest running title - lasting until issue 24 overall, although it was absorbed into the regular, mainstream Marvel Comics imprint and had a change of writer as part of the X-Men: ReLoad event after issue 13, while New Mutants, also part of ReLoad, was relaunched from issue 1 as New X-Men: Academy X at the same time. Venom and Runaways carried the imprint branding for the longest period, lasting until issue 18, after which Runaways was briefly cancelled before being relaunched as part of the Marvel Next initiative, while Venom was canceled outright. The other series were canceled after twelve issues.
Tsunami (Manic Street Preachers song)
"Tsunami" is a song by Manic Street Preachers, released as a single on July 5, 1999 through Epic. It was the fourth and final single to be released from the album This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours All three members of the band - James Dean Bradfield, Sean Moore and Nicky Wire - share the writing credits. The single managed to peak at number 11 in the UK charts.
Background
Tsunami is the Japanese word for "big wave". The song was inspired by The Silent Twins, June and Jennifer Gibbons, who gave up speaking when they were young, became involved in crime and ended up being sent to Broadmoor Hospital.
The song has a highly unusual instrumental turn, the whole song is largely built around an electric sitar; that the song feels so much like a hit comes from the surging chorus and Bradfield’s voice delivery. It is the shortest song in the album, it has 3:51. It is also featured as track number 11 in the Forever Delayed compilation by the band.
Release
The single peaked at number 11 in the UK Charts, remaining in the charts for 8 weeks, being the single from the album that less weeks spent on the UK Charts. In Finland the song peaked in number 13, spending 3 weeks in The Official Finnish Charts.

Tsunami
by: SteriogramSo i'm here alone again
I was wondering if you think i'm a mess
What is the point of this?
Did I miss it was going wrong
And it had been this bad for so long
When you place the blame
Well it's such a shame
When you act this way
So whats the point of this
Tsunami all in front of me
Sit alone with a brewsky for the change its in the air
It's around me
It's all i wanna be
I'll carry on maybe not that far to go now
You said it to me
Give it up will work
It's all changed
Too much, never ends
Well i'm here alone again
I was wondering if you think i'm a mess
What is the point of this?
Soon it'll become clear
But until we get there
We gotta work through the fear
Well i know its rough
When you must confront
All the stuff you can bluff
But i'm not here to impress you with fakeness
I thought that this was real
Assusmed too much
What is the point of this?
Well it seems worse than it is
And i hope i'm right
Because this i will miss
But if we push on through
Then we can prove
There is too much to lose
So whats the point of this?
Waiting watching almost sleeping
Lonely hurting hope i'm keeping
I run falling over
