I believe this is a passing fad. I wonder when people will come to their senses and realize that the convini actually doesn't match Mt Fuji at all.

Some people wonder why they don't see this as a business opportunity and make money. The reason is simple: the locals don't want it. Not everyone is willing to give up their peaceful lives for money.

Why aren't police officers being sent out to crackdown on them? They are simply violating the traffic laws, aren't they?

People are saying Western culture is superior and Asian is inferior.

Simply because of the outdated tedious procedure. The diet members were called and voted one after another in a long line taking a ridiculously long time like elementary school. You may well fall asleep. Time is money, which is tax.

If Japan wants the U.S. to withdraw all its military forces from Japan, the war between Japan and the Axis countries won't happen but the war between Japan and the U.S. will happen

He proposed stationing Japanese Self-Defense Forces members in Guam

LMAO Who want their colonies' military to stay on their soil

 Even so, older farmers have shown a reluctance to switch to other varieties. Farming ministry data show that only around 15% of Japanese paddy fields have adopted heat resistance variants.

Sounds like the elderly people are just stubborn. No. They know the taste of the new rice is not as good. The article should have researched that.

Mechanization is not easy. Who pays for that? Most farmers are not rich and do not have big rice paddies. They may well choose more manual labor. Besides, I'll pass American rice which has been grown in a rich of pesticides and herbicides.

free speech must not be silenced by violence

??? What the ruling party does is not just a free of speech. If the party is just speeching freely and the country is doing well no one would complain

Just keeps going down. People blame it on "a low birth rate and aging population", which I strongly doubt. Look at SK, which has less than half the population of Japan and yet has a higher GDP per capita. "more active in defense and security cooperation" No way. They only have eye candies bought for diplomatic reasons from US. You'll see how paper tiger the SDF is If you do even a little bit of research.

Unless there were foreign military bases on US soil and they had crashes on public places from time to time, Americans wouldn't understand how the Japanese feel. So sorry for the Japanese.

Either is incredible he has been lying for 46 years or been imprisoned innocent for 46 years.

Good reason for the US to sell more expensive weapons to Japan and keep its forces in Japan on Japan's budget.

Yeah just do not travel to Japan. Then everyone happy.

Do people really want save time by 30 minutes or so?I'd rather get a discount on the outrageously expensive fare and luggage storage... They always only look at salarymen with tiny luggage whose travel expenses are paid by the company.

I doubt the belief that an animal raised up by human cannot survive in the wild. I know this is not the case for undomesticated animals with strong instincts.

Whether cannabis is illegalized or not, 99% of Japanese don't care. It's always fun to see so many people here are pissed off about this kind of news.

Japanese concern that some drivers would become stalkers of passengers because of their culture.

Language barrier?

Did you know that the Japanese Constitution prohibits politicians participating in religious activities.

So, are t they prohibited from attending a Buddhist funeral or wedding ceremony in a church?

Few people do. That's not the issue. The lawmakers can do that at several sites in Japan dedicated strictly to remembrance. Quite a few of them, though, choose Yasukuni because it glorifies Japan's attempted ...

As far as I know, the soldiers who went to war believed that their spirits would gather there after they died, so people who want to mourn them still visit the shrine. Even though you can pray for your dead family at home, you still visit their graves. Just like that. I agree that the shrine is too biased and gives me the impression that they believe that the IJN or IJA did nothing bad. That's wrong. However thinking that Japanese who go there are glorifying the past is a bit too simplistic.

I don't see any problem with Japanese lawmakers paying tribute to the dead, at least since they fought the war on behalf of the government. I think it's natural for the representatives of the country to show remorse and perhaps regret the past. The war crimes should be discussed separately. If there was a war crime in the Vietnam War, can't one show any respect for all the troops sent there?

If the emperor, who was the rule at that time, doesn't pay any visit, what the commoners do doesn't make any sense. But don't get me wrong. What annoys me is only the cosplayers.

Try Varsan before moving in and every six months. It works wonders.

Don't get him wrong. His feat has nothing to do with Japan... So weird. No one says to someone wearing a Marvel T-shirt, "Oh, you love and respect the US?" But somehow the Japanese think that way.

No matter how many people in Japan want the US military to go home, they never will. They can place a huge military power in the most obedient country in the right front of the communist countries, and that country even pays for their stay.

You can see how lucky the Americans are by looking at the uproar they caused when the Russian fleet just showed up in the Caribbean.

It's just unfortunate for Japan.

The next princess could be a 50-year-old Asian American who thinks he is in her 20s.

National government: 16 percent

Regional government: 13.3 percent

Toyota: 10.8 percent

Nintendo: 6.9 percent

Panasonic: 5.4 percent

It's sad that the once top of the world country has few companies worth working for now.

Hello kitty delegate makes a courtesy call to the suzerain state
