@alongfortheride Have you been there? This museum should be compulsory to visit for any one visiting Japan as an advertisement on why the world does not need nuclear weapons.

I visited the museum in 1980. A good Japanese friend of mine from Hiroshima took me there. Afterwards, we discussed the visit and we both agreed - let's move on. We are all friends now.

Does this museum really serve a useful purpose? By now most people in the world know what the effects of an atomic bomb explosion would result in. It is now nothing more than a tourist attraction..It teaches nothing.

The woman in question decided to live in Hungary. The matter is under Hungarian jurisdiction.

Methinks there is more to this story than what is being reported here.

SoraNews24 always starts with a little lecture, instructing non-Japanese as to what is a so-called Japanese social norm. Then it prints a vague story with no hard facts. Cheap news.

Japan has joined a queue of countries asking for an exemption. The question is : what does the USA regard as a "Special Case".

Mainland Americans complain about a supposed "inflation" they had during the last four years. But they don't know what inflation is, yet.

Maybe in the short term there will be a few price rises in the US economy, but I think that it will soon stabilise as US production of steel and aluminium increases.

Japanese law at it's best - yet again.

As Japan's decline accelerates, Japan will, of course, blame everybody else (nobody understands us). Nissan is responsible for any "hazy" future, along with the primitive fit for nothing Japanese legal system and disgusting Nissan management. It is inevitable that Japan's industries will imblode.

While some people are gloating that Nissan stocks have dropped 5%, there are some people buying Nissan stocks on this dip.

Well, good lock to anybody buying Nissan shares, personally I think that Nissan is beyond redemption. I'll stick with decent, honourable companies like Toyota everything that is decent and honourable to the Japanese culture (with the exception of the Japanese legal system).

I can't help but gloat.

If Kato is so concerned maybe he should lead by example and remove the 775% tariffs imposed on rice imported into Japan.

Man acquitted of 1966 murders seeks over ¥200 mil in compensation

He should be awarded ¥400 mil in compensation, and surviving law enforcers regarding the case be put on trail themselves.

I think that the Japanese Imperial Household should stay exactly the way it is.

The best example of a tariff is rice imported into Japan. 775%.

Does this do called news have any relevance to anything?

Surely Interpol need to investigate this before the defendant is indicted. Japanese law at it's best, yet again.

Why do they think a 0.18% stake gives them the right to do anything?

Because they are shareholders.

Probably it took the threat of an article in the media "Japan Post routinely kills reptiles"

Japan only reacts when there is international embarrassment.

There has always been violent crime in Japan, nothing really new here. I remember 40 years ago a stabbing murder in a bar in my local area over a baseball match. As for Japan's safety, I would say 8 out of 10.

The article states that the US serviceman has been accused of rape. Under Japan's constitution and CCP a person must be assumed innocent until found guilty, (although we all know that in practice it doesn't work like that in Japan). Has this serviceman even been charged yet?

until it gets blocked by you know who.

it’s a national security issue! america first!

Absolutely right too. Hope to see this one blocked within hours.

Drunken Bum.

The foreign ministers of Japan and the United States said their countries' ties were stronger than ever on Tuesday, even after Japan's prime minister called U.S. President Joe Biden's decision to block Nippon Steel's $14.9 billion bid for U.S. Steel "perplexing."

What is "perplexing". Is the Japanese Japanese prime minister a bit "thick"?

Gone are the days when people wrote books such as "Japan First". Japan must understand that it is not an economic miracle any more, and can't just buy it's way in. American Steel will do just fine without Japan's wonderful offers of help, and "concern" for it's workforce. Is there really any "uncertainty" for US Steelworkers.

Read the small print Japan. A US President has total authority to block an acquisition on the grounds of National Security.

Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot, and the sentence a foreigner would get for writing "toilet" on evil Mao's mausoleum in Tiananmen square?

Agree 100%

Nippon Steel extends closing date for U.S. Steel acquisition to March.

Why? It's not going to happen.

Nippon Steel slams 'inappropriate' politics in U.S. Steel deal

Look whose talking. Japan's post war heavy industries are built on political protectionist practices.

wow such a great use of prison space and tax payer money, 6 years of storing and feeding 58 year old gaijin grandmas

why not catch the nigerian? oh wait, that might actually require police work.

The Japanese police do very little investitive work. Prosecutors are just bureaucrats. Despite the fact that the judge realised that she was the victim of a scam, she was sentenced to 6 years. I have to beg the question "Are Japanese judges imbeciles"? Answer :Possibly not. They are also a victim of a legal system that is not comensurite to the 21st century.

I remember a time when things like this were unheard of in Japan. Sadly Japan is just not as safe as it used to be.
