Since a lot of people seem confused, this is a real disaster prevention app made in partnership with the Japan Meteorological Agency that's been on app stores since 2019: https://www.gehirn.co.jp/en/news/2019-09-01/01-press-nervapp...
Their Japanese Twitter account has 2 million followers, the branding hasn't really caused enough confusion in Japan to hinder them: https://twitter.com/UN_NERV

they have an excellent mastodon instance
