The only address I want to hear from Kishida begins and ends with, "I hereby resign as Prime Minister and a member of the Diet."

I expect it will grow even higher in April when they start charging for the boosters.

Oh, to be so filthy rich as to have to worry about where you can park your private jet.

Too bad Ishikawa isn't a foreign country. He's much more into overseas junkets. He would have been on the first flight.

My first grandchild's birth (due this month)!

I would be laughing out loud at what this clown has to say if the situation weren't so serious.

I think that would be the first overseas trip he passes on. He certainly loves going abroad more than staying at home to, well, you know, do his job.

Seiji-kun is way behind the times. I've been eating this for years and Tabasco has always been available.

Can't root for him as much as I want to. Too bad Atlanta didn't pick him up.

Doesn't look like a national costume to me. More like some foreign anime-inspired fiasco.

Blast from the past. Thanks for the memories

Sounds good to me. I wish my employer would offer such an option.

Same people in different offices. Nothing will change.

It depends on the person. Reagan did a great job, while Clinton and Carter were disasters. I wonder if it's more about the party than the previous job.

Kakigori is an overpriced scam. No way I will pay 300 yen for 3 yen worth of ingredients.

Has there been a month that Kishida hasn't made an overseas trip? The guy obviously hates staying in Japan.

What the government should be promoting is the International Linear Collider (ILC), which has been proposed to be constructed in Iwate, the prefecture just north of Miyagi. Tohoku University could have a major role in that. The ILC would bring much needed population and economic growth to this region, which was devastated by the 2011 earthquake. Scientists from around the world have been clamoring for approval by the Japanese government for this project, saying that Iwate is the best candidate site for the ILC. If approval doesn't come soon, they will start looking at other candidate sites, probably CERN.

Should have been recycled into something other than art.

Being in an izakaya, I'm surprised she didn't give the age-old excuse, "I was drunk and don't remember."

I won't be flying again until it becomes as easy as getting on the shinkansen. Walk up to the machine, buy your ticket, get on the train. Airlines and the TSA have made air travel so cumbersome that I won't have any more of it. I didn't leave anything in the US so important that I have to go back for it. I haven't been back to the US in well over 15 years, and I don't have any plans to go there for another 15 years or beyond. If the airlines want my business, do it the way of shinkansens. Otherwise, no thanks.

Must be a slow news day for this to be the Top Story. An event almost 40 years ago.

Anyone associated with the CCP, which is pretty much anyone within China that has the means to travel internationally, should be refused a visa and landing rights. The CCP is the most dangerous organization in the world today.

Nadeshiko-Japan. O-tsukaresama deshita. You'll get 'em next time.

JT is on a roll today with its deceptional and misleading headlines/articles. While schizophrenia in and of itself may account for 1 in 100 (I don't know, but I'll give JT a pass on that), mental illness as a general subject affects far more people. Depression can be devastating. I suffer from a slight form of depression, and it has taken me years of counseling and medication to a point where I don't wake up every morning wishing that I hadn't. And like I said, mine is only slight depression. Much more needs to be done for mental illness in Japan, and not just the extremes of schizophrenia.

Since when is "hot" a verb? Extremely poor wording for a headline.

Keep anyone associated with the CCP out. Which is pretty much anyone in China that has the means to travel internationally.

Every world leader should visit and appreciate the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. It changed my life. Anyone not touched by it should be banned from public office.

An exceedingly one-sided opinion piece that fails to look at the extremely low popularity ratings the dementia-riddled incumbent has.

Continue the event through August 12? The heat is bad enough. They need to look at a weather forecast. There's a typhoon on the way.

My cousin went to see it and said that it was awesome. I would love for it to make it's way here to Japan so I could see it.
