I understand that you are being sarcastic. There are some reports that
Western Japan runs on a 50 Hz system and Eastern Japan runs at 60 Hz.
It's possible the generators brought in were incompatable for that
reason.

I would suspect you could just crank up the govenor to get the 60 cps.
or crank it down to get the 50 Hz.
