Come on JT lift your game. People more and more reading your site now believe Japanese men are all mental and sukebe with these silly Sora News stories.

Nothing much to see here..

Only five to ten years imprisonment with hard labor and a 20 million yen fine for each individual followed by deportation would be suitable for these vermin.

Nothing like Christmas celebrations in Fall I guess. Those fall leaves look nice in the background.

Merry Christmas Japan but I'll stick to the traditional December celebrations.

1000 intrusions and he still has time to work? Something weirdly admirable about Yuta-san. Or maybe I've just lived here too long!

It might be time to place a permanent riot squad there on site 24 hours a day as some have suggested. Arrests and incarceration would be the following procedures.

To the editor....also "the man" mentioned in the headline has a name, Iwao Hakamata. I thought it a bit disrespectful to not name Hakamata-san in the headline after 58 years in the public spotlight.

Very pretty I know but I'm so over all these illumination sites. Maybe I'm a bit of a grinch!

Merry Christmas all!

My eureka moment! Now I know why the birthrate is so low in both countries.

Total buffoon. Probably disinterested in even being there. Wonder if it was the dead fish handshake too.

“I did go into her apartment because I liked looking at her underwear but I never planned to steal anything. I had feelings for her.”

Ain't love grand?!

The stuff of horror movies here sometimes. I expect he was planning to still accept her pension.

@Antiquesaving Or the Japanese youths breaking branches off the Sakura and Kinmokusei trees in one of my local parks on weekend nights.

Could have sworn I read this story here yesterday.

Jail this idiot!

He confessed to causing trouble. Stand down now sir before you are investigated further and have to deal with the full force of Japanese law.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Sorry some of you will have to settle for KFC though...

Very sorry to hear this news. I do hope the police can determine Mr Worm's final movements and circumstances of his passing. Condolences to his family and friends.

RIP young man.

Little to no interest in this at my Japanese workplace today.

Dude's getting water in his suitcase.

Go get'em @TokyoLiving

LOOOOL!!

GO HALLOWEEN IN JAPAN!

Well I guess he achieved his goal.

Shinjuku and Shibuya aside I hope everyone enjoyed the biggest day/night on the Japanese calendar. Everything was Halloween themed in Osaka yesterday!

My family had loads of candy for the local trick or treaters but strangely yet again for another year we didn't have any kids come by in costume.

Have they been banned too?

Definitely. There's no way they want to be arrested, fined and possibly go to jail.

Sora News hacks probably know exactly where the "foreigner" is from.

Understand their feelings totally. The Sakura trees in my neighborhood have gradually disappeared over the last two decades. Sometimes removed due to "progress" other times for reasons unknown.

The local reaction? "Shoganai"

He'll be gone by Spring me thinks.

Just finished a nice dinner with my wife's family. 6 Japanese adults in total. Not one voted today and had zero interest in the election.

my mistake...*unseasonably warm.

I can understand places wanting to avoid overcrowding. Why do people want to hang around in the streets in fancy dress anyway?

Maybe they could have Halloween parties at home or at their workplaces, schools, universities etc...

Just thinking out aloud here. Have a good week readers!

Unreasonably warm in Osaka again today..
