Two years ago, James Taranto pointed out that Japan keeps the tally rolling on deaths caused by the atomic bombings. This year he reports that they are still using the same old trick:

As of the end of March, the number of hibakusha [atomic bomb survivors] in Japan stood at 273,918. Their average age is 72.46. Over the past year, 5,142 people who suffered from the bombing in Hiroshima have died, bringing the toll to 237,062.

It would appear that eventually the "death toll" from the bombings will top 500,000 people.
