The borders would be closed like last time.

Can't wait.

Japan lags in pretty much everything now

Plenty of over tourism though.

Never heard of him

Annnnnd???....

Can't you figure it out? Why all go to the same place? LOOOOOOOOL!

for a REAL, unapologetic right-wing AUSTRALIAN movement to rise.

Agreed, then Albo will end up with 5 terms. One Nation has gone nowhere in 20 years.

Right wingers having a big cry into their coffee this morning. Love it. Congratulations Albo.

i know others will freak out but i never considered her Japanese. She grew up in the states and has a lot of American personality traits.

Yes, she's American. However she's suddenly Japanese according to the Japanese media when she's winning. If she's losing they have zero interest in her. It's pathetic jingoism.

The attack of the clones.

Japan's shortage of full-time workers willing to work for pathetically low wages at worst level since COVID

Fixed the headline for you.

Not a word in this or any other recent reports on the anniversary mentioning why it happened. i.e. Tojo's belligerence and refusal to stop fighting a war they'd lost 3 years prior. Nothing like a bit of victim card playing in this country is there.

Why is the topic of Japanese business always about suffering?

It's called gaslighting. Distraction from price gouging customers and poor treatment of employees.

Just last week the hospital cost doubled for my children in my prefecture. Somehow kids need a school bag for 100k yen. Child support money decreases by age, 10k per month is not much. As far as I know this support even stops when kids leave elementary school. Oh yes, education expensive AF.

Just because you can breed doesn't mean that you should. Consider contraception next time.

Who'd want to work for the world's worst douche?

The approx. 3 MILLION people who work for the US government.

They had zero say in it. An unelected d head foisted upon the public service. At least you've admitted he's a douche though. Turns out you may know something, but certainly not all.

It's called entitlement. Thinking that you are special in spite of the law.

Yes indeed. It's like banging your hand with a hammer then blaming the hammer for the pain it's caused. Completely barking mad.

Nobody cares what Japanese think as long they cut a check

Its a cheque.

almost always prevents me from reading them.

But you went ahead and punished yourself anyway.

Japanese boy band Psychic Fever

Who??!?

Soon to be known as a Sony-Honsan after the Nissan merger is complete.

Wouldn't it be a Son-Honsan-Afeel?

Tis the season of Gaman.

Self punishment of the masses for a few days of family fun.

Jacked up prices everywhere, gridlocked roads, rammed trains planes restaurants and supermarkets.

Being screeched at by megaphone every which way but loose.

Happy Holidays!

All we get are non stop shows with people eating and screaming oishii

What's funny about those shows where they're screeching oishii like a row of laughing clowns syt the fun fair is that they've probably eaten that dish 1000's of times before. So some of these yank shows at new year would be a welcome relief from the dross dished up on J Tv

As someone else usually says at this point - their country, their rules! GO GO DENMARK!

Too right. LOOOOOOL!

The fence will let the tourists sit and loiter. The exact opposite of their aim. Talk about kicking an own goal.

Yep bring back Datsun. The world famous 120Y bother. The 200 Bomb. Classic cars.

All cars look the same these days so it doesn't really matter. Bring back the choices and colours from the 70's & 80's in today's technology.

It's 36k round trip. You can easily find cheaper flights from anywhere in Japan. Why would anyone take a boat?

How narrow minded.

Some people are afraid to fly. Some people absolutely hate airports. Some people enjoy slow travel.

It's not all about you.

Whoop de doo!

Police said that messages on the four suspects' cell phones and the Line messaging app show that Takano was mentally and physically bullied for the last three years and that apparently he had reached breaking point.

Japanese society is sick.

This is a very culturally self-centered Western point of view. Japan's cultural norm has always been (until recently) that married men, especially those who've been for a long time, engaged in extra-marital liasons outside the home.

My Japanese parents and granparents generations' women used to resign themselves to the fact that their men drank and partied outside with mizushobai women. It didn't seem to bother them that much and they even seemed to enjoy getting them out of the house.

As long as their men didn't bring any of it home or have any real attached feelings to these women, it was fine. Home and family and "the outside" were two different spheres.

Not sure it's totally western. French women think there's something wrong with their husbands if they don't have a bit on the side. Out of sight out of mind is still in play for Japanese married people though.

Have you seen how worthless the Yen is? There's your answer. Taro's family dream trip to Hawai now costs at least that much more if not double than pre pandemic when the Yen was still viable.
