Eyewitness reports

20 January 2013 - Ellen Musahino, Tokyo, Japan 3:40 a.m.

2-3 seconds duration. East, very bright yellowish white. There was a flash and then a diving star bright as the moon with a long and beautiful tail. Little sparks along the tail. It was bright enough to be confused with the flash of a camera in a dark room.

20 January 2013 - A Shorb Nasu, Tochigi, Japan 2:42 JST

Around 5 seconds duration. Travelling West to East. A large flash of light like lightning followed by a bluish-green ball. Maybe as bright as the moon? It seemed very close. I've found some Youtube videos of the meteor, taken from from near Tokyo:
