"This is a huge project..." President Atsushi Nakajima said at a groundbreaking ceremony held last week.

MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS!

Yubaru Today | 02:08 pm JST: "The daughter evidently had a stroke, not fell "ill"..."

How do you know the daughter had a stroke?

Have to agree with BeerDeliveryGuy -- it was such a shame that TOKIO lost their bass player, and there was something suspicious about the way he was ousted from the group...

The 73-year-old man had probably been paying over twenty years for his daughter's hospital stay...

Seeing as this is Japan, how about using the correct Japanese spelling 'Jinrikisha' 人力車 instead of the Americanized abomination?

"And if I am bitten, I drink a heroic amount of alcohol..."

"Oh, yes! An heroic strategy...I am in complete agreement!

"...who sustained wounds to their necks..." would indicate the attacker was targeting an vein or artery supplying blood to the brain; in other words... Attempted Murder.

This English-language NHK report contains additional information. It suggests that previous accidents involving cyclists on expressways have been caused when the cyclist mistakenly entered an expressway when following directions on their cellphone. "Police believe he entered the main lane by riding between posts of the merging lane":

Excellent and informative posting! Thank you for that information.

The vehicle involved appears to be a white BMW equipped with an aftermarket wheelset. This might suggest the driver was operating his vehicle at high speed which did not allow for evasive action...

In a few years, the user interface may well be surgically-implanted into the users' brains...

"The new school year does not start until next April."

Well-spotted, and duly upvoted. There are too many Americacentric filler articles that have no relevance to Japan...

From indiegogo.com: "Kyocera (pronounced Key-O-Sarah) was founded in Kyoto, Japan in 1959 by Dr. Kazuo Inamori and 28 colleagues who shared a vision of creating a company dedicated to manufacturing high-tech products based on ceramic materials and components to improve daily lives."

Key-O-Sarah?

Thirty-thousand yen? He probably went directly to ABC Pachinko...!

From the Nature Surfing Products website: Teacher’s Pet

'The Teacher’s Pet is made-to-learn'

'This range of boards is designed by some of the best surf instructors from around the globe. These shapes are designed specifically for first-time surfers to shorten the learning curve.'

It is better NOT to take on a job working at a construction site in this country...

"...family are the worst people you can go into business with," or try to ask for help with gainful employment.

I am in complete agreement with Mocheake - Today | 05:53 pm JST...

The so-called 'smartphone' is not smart; it is dumb, an inanimate object, and it does not enrich our lives...

That area of Yokohama is very seedy, and the ANN News video tells the whole story...https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp/news_society/articles/000316206.html

"I have to like the guy, or his abysmal record as former Chief of staff or former mayor of Chicago??"

Why do you have to 'like the guy'?

And of course, Detroit is such a beautiful city! Such a wonderful place to live! Socialism, like Communism, is a cancer upon society...

Record profits should be shared, according to Biden? Shared with those whom do not work?

Former mayor of Chicago...

It has been quite a while since we have seen Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture in the news...

Bicultural: That is very useful information...thank you for your input.

David K Anderson: I applied for employment with Hino Maru 3 separate times, and was rejected 3 times. But best of luck to you, man!

From the very excellent Hino Maru Taxi Co. Ltd. website, which states they employ 75 drivers from 26 foreign countries...

Monthly income one year since joining - ¥302,276

Three to five years since joining - ¥329,306

A very poorly-written Public Relations advertisement blurb from SoraNews24:

"veggie-filled barbecue sauce." What vegetables? A good reporter identifies the vegetables by naming them...

Neither the name, nor the location of the shop are given in this truncated image description. Is there a website? Will the accumulated knowlege, skills, and experience of Mr Yoshimori ARAKAKI be saved and passed on to an apprentice before it is too late, and all are lost?

Who is the little fellow at the front。。。?

Sir Paul chose the Höfner 500/1 Violin Bass for its symmetrical body shape, as he plays left-handed, and it would not appear so unusual on stage...
