Great! elect us, we will give you the money you paid in taxes after we have already skimmed some of the top and also put you into more debt as a nation.

The police need to act on anything they feel suspicious. Call it what you will, but appearance of a person plays a lot into their judgement. Naturally there will be cases where they will be over playing their card, like the bike example above belonging to his wife, but in those cases they should have processes in place to clear that up. It needs understanding on both sides, that the police need to act on appearance to, to do their job. At the same time, maybe don’t look suspicious. One should appreciate that if you live in a certain area and the police know you, then you will probably go off the radar. It’s about integration into the community. Actually one should see it as a good sign, because it means the police are protecting the area for the better safety of your family.

What do you expect, if you increase price and margin much faster than what their food items are costing and people’s incomes are not increasing. Their prices would have been this high even if the rice price did not go up. No better proof than the fact that their profits are increasing. I certainly don’t eat there as often as I used to and also don’t enjoy it as much, because it is not an everyday priced meal anymore and you cannot enjoy ordering what you want, but rather have to watch what you order to get the price down to a reasonable amount. Partly nations economics and partly corporate greed.

Hope the people who have been holding up the price of rice artificially get burned by the drop in price. Disgusting and criminal.

Disgusting that the teacher and school doesn’t come down hard on this especially if there is proof. What sort of lesson are you teaching young minds, when you let bullies get away with it.

FYI Tsukuba University is a national school, so to get in you have to get super good grades also so it is not about being of a “good” family background only. [With a few obvious exceptions :-)]

Japanese government should allow a window or set amount of cheap rice imports to curtail the price and kick out the speculators propping up the price. Letting it hold will only incentivize speculators. Also if they don’t change the situation, the general population will learn to enjoy new alternatives to rice, which will damage the rice industry further. It will also dissuade people from stockpiling and reverting back to regularly timed buying to encourage a more manageable rice flows. Them not doing so probably means someone higher up will be out of pocket…..corruption.

OMG, the execs that decide this should be fired and their bonuses taken away.

Now try paying back the bailout money they used to the tax payers.

Good……. AI doesn’t always mean better.

“Read again, that is east China Sea land, not east Japan Sea land”.

…..by this same analogy, it seems China might to also be able to claim a few viruses and pandemics……

The US and Japan side s need to work together to publish and also ruthlessly punish these rapists. Only then can they regain public trust.

There is no denying that this man deserves the death sentence. Only wish that instead of a quick execution, it would be a slow torturous one over several years.

very very well done.

The Japanese governments systematic destruction of a once pride-of-nation domestic tourism industry.

As long as they come and pay their own way, and not from taxpayers money that could be used to support local students, it is a good sign. But if not, or they are all here at language schools for an elongated holiday or some dodgy scheme…..not welcome. Also maybe need a more detailed stat.

There is really no point talking about this if the press in general globally reports biased drivel anyway.

With the exception of a very weird surname or coming from a very powerful and influential family where the family name carries value, there is something very wrong with the relationship if surname changes is a reason for not marrying someone.

He deserves more than a jail sentence for all the misery he has caused.

increase in popularity unfortunately is not the same as being popular.

It’s amazing that a country of over 120million people have learnt to cope with it and keep the city clean until the hoards of complaining tourists and foreigners come. maybe instead of complaining, try learning how locals cope with it. Otherwise….please stay away.

In a way, it is good that the building that collapsed in Bangkok di so before being built and had people using it. Poor construction. I wonder who was in charge and how much corruption was involved. Heart goes out to those affected by collapse. I hope they investigate this properly afterwards and get the people involved.

Well if I do notated my body thinking it is for medical students to learn how to operate etc, I would be annoyed if it was used for massage therapists. On this front I have some questions. One being, wouldn’t rigamortis make this a bit difficult. Two, wouldn’t it be better to do this on a live person? I find it difficult to see the medical benefit for a massage therapist needing to practice on a dead body. Three, if they did use the dead bodies, how did they use it and if the bodies are then used again for medical students training for internal studies……basically need more information, otherwise this article is just for the generation of clicks.

I still don’t understand what the expo is all about? Honest question……or was it just an excuse to use taxpayers money to fund construction projects.

“Stand on the correct side of history”……and the reality and the world wishing they would….

Not going to see that. A poster for what’s exactly wrong with the world. There are more important things to better spend your time. Like posting comments lol.

Ummm that’s probably because people wee freaking out that rice was running out. Not a justification for higher prices!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If done properly it would be good, but foreign tourism will price out locals. They are there to make money so understandable but doesn’t mean people have to like it. A lot of people will hate this. As this is not going to be created with locals in mind but foreign facing and to line the wallets of the foreign investors. Look at Niseko. I am glad I got to enjoy it before the overdevelopment and greed set in.

OMG I know we go on about diversity but the first African IOC president being a white woman wildly seems off……And let’s be honest, nothing will change. It will still be a totally corrupt organization. Just a new mask.

maybe rather than increasing costs, try first to patch up the loopholes that allow people to come to Japan and take up expensive treatments at the expense of Japanese and Local tax paying population. Kick these parasites out.

And the world laughs at the bully….
