I believe the leading theory we have is a parallel universe, if you're familiar with the concept. As far as I've gathered, there are so many differences between Terra and your world that, outside of some sort of worldwide apocalyptic event, one era in my world couldn't possibly fall comfortably within an era of yours. The cultural and biological rifts are too vast.

Japan and Higashi do share several similarities, though. The naming conventions seem rather consistent, for example. Names like "Junpei" and "Shoko" are quite commonplace where I was born.
