From Reuters on Thursday:

TOKYO, March 17 (Reuters) – Mizuho Bank said its automatic teller machines failed for a second time Thursday across Japan after a shutdown earlier in the day. A spokesman for the company said its ATM network failed at 0840 GMT, with its internet banking services also down. Japan’s second largest bank said it did not know the reason for the latest trouble.

Power-cut related? Yen withdrawal-related? Who knows.

Our correspondent Gwen Robinson in Tokyo says other banks’ ATM machines are working just fine though.

(P.S.  But Twitter is down.)
