Maybe its something done in Japan?

Nope. My building does a yearly power shutdown. It's for general maintenance of base building electrical systems. It's different from generator testing (done weekly), as these are systems that are meant to run 24/7. They wouldn't be able to safely do maintenance without completely shutting off the power, which also involves cutting off from the local city supply.

As Yoshida did not specifically mention what is the reason of outage, it could be due to building maintenance or a compulsory power cut issued by the Japanese government.

Power demand is being monitored daily and forecast-ed, and monitored by the Japanese government. As Japan's nuclear power plants are still shut down, at times the demand may be taxing (especially summer) and thus the government will ask companies and households to cut usage by a certain percentage. It could be just a request or it could be a compulsory order by the government.

Could have a lot to do with the whole losing there Main power plant, and etc. etc from that massive Tsunami and Earthquake they had.
