Japan is falling apart. So many ‘guardmen’ Having to work to supplement their meagre state pensions. The number of old people is trueing astonishing. The Japanese government has truly sold its people down the road. Prices rising,the pension is a joke.

Why do you think a lot of people in Saitama have 4 or 5 children?
I would hazard a guess that the majority of those people aren’t Japanese.

Cycle along the Edogawa River for 20-odd KM and then string my hammock up between 2 trees and enjoy the greenery.
The hardest part is coming home when the wind has normally shifted to blow from the South.

Absolute arrogant twerp who blocks anyone from his Twitter account if they don't agree with him.
He has nothing but contempt towards the average Japanese citizen.
Being a voter in Japan is really akin to being between a rock and a hard place.
Having said that I would rather him than Sanae Takaichi or the other looney tune.

@Asiamman ',
I think you are right but she still has close ties to it.Like in the last national election when she announced her candidacy as an independent in order to gain the floating voters to prevent them from voting for the LDP's main opposition.
