Posted in: Man acquitted of 1966 murders seeks over ¥200 mil in compensation See in context
I did the math. That is 58 years in prison, do the 200 million equals 287,356 yen, which seems to be an average monthly salary. If interest was added to each month of missed salary, it should be much more than that.
Not to count for the pain and suffering and attorney fees.
maybe 10 billion yen should do it. It is about 64 million dollars.

My original custom is to be buried in a coffin underground. But if I retire in Japan I will follow the local customs, or even just get the ashes disposed according to available procedures and laws. I will not try to move my country to Japan or start asking Japanese to conform to my needs. If any, I will ask my body to be shipped to my country to be buried there.

When you a large amount of money like in Otani’s case, the most reasonable thing to do is to hire an accountant, an auditor, and a business lawyer, all independent of each other. And maybe a private detective to make sure they do not collude with each other.

I used to fly to it like every week back in the late 80s. Went to the caves and to Mt Suribachi. One of the Coadt Guard guys said that before the had both male and female hosts but little by little the female goats died.
while I was outside the CG building sitting on a lounge chair reading the C-130 technical manual, I felt something warm in my leg.
Little did I know, their dog had pissed on me. Was I not pissed off.
As for IwoJima, I would plant all kinds of tropical plants and trees.
