The kids, when the marriage inevitably ends in divorce.

concerns it will push elite players to breaking point.

Ah, poor little darlings. Must be such a hard life.

Chinese and Korean companies can only copy and don't create anything original.

After all, nothing they have created has made a significant contribution to modern humanity.

Yeah, China has only given us paper, gunpowder, the compass, cast iron....want me to go on?

Semiconductor production equipment; companies like TEL and Screen.

Can't even afford a bowl of crappy curry. The demise of Japan.

There is no labor shortage in Japan. Rather, there is a shortage of people able and willing to work for ¥200,000 per month.

Compared to a thug like Roy Keane and a wokester like Linekar, Beckham is a decent candidate.

In a country which wraps bananas and oranges in plastic wrap, something like this is sorely needed.

There are bins inside literally any convenience store.

“We’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!”.

Not much. Japanese rice is only good for sushi. Any other dish, and Basmati or Jasmine is far tastier and less stodgy.

I just use a VPN so I can use Ladbrokes back home.

For how long Japan can sustain those factories? With inflation and wage increase, it much more make sense just to move production to China or Vietnam.

The Japanese just invite the Chinese and Vietnamese to Japan and then pay them 180,000 per month before taxes and other deductions.

I asked a Japanese medical student what he thought about Japan's use of trans-fats in so many foods. Crickets.

You would be crazy to mention anything to a Japanese company about your mental health.

The only place in Japan I would rather avoid than this mess is a Japanese zoo.

The ambulance siren is accompanied by a vehicle driving at 30km/h.

LOL. As if you could get into TU.

Thank goodness I didn't have to stoop so low, having got my degree from a university ranked far higher.

LOL.

Talk about a downgrade.

When’s the last time this guy bought a bag of rice at the supermarket like normal Japanese people?

Her face reminds me of Misaki Kanna.

 Japan appears to be stuck in time

Yes, with so many things.

I know several foreign men married to Japanese women, and they’re like little kids. Can’t speak Japanese. Can’t speak with their own kids. Can’t even write their own address in Japanese. Absolutely weird.

Most of the affected workers aren’t even employees of Nissan. They all work for dispatch companies. Layoffs are a major reason why Japanese companies use dispatch workers in the first place.

How about making a minimum 350,000 yen a month salary requirement

Agree 100%.

Sadly it won’t happen. I work in a skilled job involving high voltage power systems, and not even the Japanese around me earn that. They are all on ¥260,000 per month gross. Absolutely ridiculous.

Can we have them at dosages greater than for a three year old?

Can we now do something about the awful salaries in Japan? Maybe that might help people decide to have kids.

I think it's weird how some people refer to the non-Japanese players as "Japanese".

Long overdue, give Japanese players the chance they deserve.

Yes, but most are not good enough.

I guarantee you all the execs and the CEO will still get bumper pay packets and bonuses.
