Some interesting reading from their website...

(1). Safe and satisfactory products

We must always act according to the law and in the interests and spirit of product safety to ensure that we continue to make safe and satisfactory products in response to requirements of our customers. Also, we must understand the requirements of our customers appropriately, and design, manufacture and provide products in response to such requirements. If a problem should arise, we must respond quickly.

(2). Quality data management

We must obtain, forward, store and confirm quality data in agreed ways, and correctly inform customers of the data as necessary to ensure that we continue to keep our promise to customers. We as a company do not permit quality data falsification.

It would be great if this was a swift blow to Suga's strawberries, but he will just seek a second opinion from his own hand-picked experts.

Alongfortheride...

My wife has told anyone reading this to take very good care of your health currently as if you fall sick no matter what the reason or condition there is simply not enough staff to take care of you.

Sadly, we have heatstroke on the way that will coincide with the overpriced spots meet.

Editor: Story will be updated later with nationwide numbers.

Editor - will these numbers include the number of tests? Because that's a bit of data which has been conspicuous by its absence in recent weeks.

And if not, why not?

Moderator: The number of tests has been included in the story every day, only later than before, between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

Dear Moderator, can you please let us know... Why is the number of tests released after the number of positives??

If today's results are in fact from tests conducted 2 or 3 days ago, then the number of tests conducted would be known before the number that return positive.

Quasi emergency measures will always produce semi sugoi results.

It looks like the olive in the martini China wants Aso to drink.

In March, there were 931 cases of ambulances getting rejected by more than five hospitals or driving around for 20 minutes or longer to reach an emergency room, up from 700 in March last year.

In the first 11 days of April, that rose to 830, the Tokyo Fire Department said. 

A year ago there were 700 cases of ambulances getting rejected by more than five hospitals or driving around for 20 minutes or longer to reach an emergency room... No action to improve the situation in the last 12 months ?

This was already a terrible situation that has not been improved and is now being highlighted through the magnifying glass of the covid epidemic. There seems to be a pattern of wasted time and inaction...

For over 3 months Japan has watched from afar at the tragic loss of life internationally - thousands of lives lost in what was a head start for Japan to better prepare - a tragic loss and waste in so many respects.

Happy Birthday to her... I can't believe the IHA released this photo, they must be slipping. Aiko has her hands placed as required, but she and the sofa she sits upon are both off-center.

Abe went to the people for a mandate, got a super majority and now the best he can do at 'leadership' is to make more urges and requests... As the country's prime 'law-maker', it is time for him to lead and legislate, if he can learn how.

How many individual breaches ? Why not 500,000 yen per each and every breach ?

This is just more evidence that Japan Inc wants its drones to show up, keep up and shut up.

In this pic, it looks as if Kuroda has just had a shocking revelation after being handed a note saying that a bow is also needed when using arrows.

"There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children." - Nelson Mandela

In this photo, Trump shows us, yet again, how much intellect and foresight he really has has.

“changing the way people work,”

Well, this has to begin by changing the way management manages... As Dango bong said, simply be able to take and enjoy paid leave - as it was intended - would be a step in the right direction to meet all 3 stated goals.

Many Japanese employees don’t even take all of their regular annual leave...

... umm, most Japanese employees can't get approval to take all of their annual leave.

@ browny, spot on. As reported previously on JT, Kasumigaseki's original submission in English omitted their policies on women and now it is, in their own words, a 'nuisance'. So is traveling 44 km from the athletes' village when their courses as close as 6 km away offering full membership to men and, surprisingly, women.

“Heartbreaking and so sad,” Menz said. “What was it all for? It should have never happened.”

Simply and well said... Lest we Forget

This confusion has resulted because Kasumigaseki knowingly left out the details at issue - they are unfamiliar with the term 'full disclosure'. This 'nuisance' is their own doing and they just want the prestige without the 21st century responsibilities.

I'm with @bones, we need to eradicate these weapons of mass dejection.

Meanwhile, security has been doubled at various aggressive installations, aka the axis of evil: Lotte, Meiji and Morinaga.

Spot on Ron... No jobs on a dead planet and here's an analysis on how Australia got to now:

"... with someone like Mr Trump, who seems to be impulsive or simple-minded.”

Thanks, that was great for a laugh and I would love to caddy this game.

If he was in charge at the time, then he is ultimately responsible. At any rate, the honorable thing for him to do would be to answer questions - his actions to date suggest that he somehow thinks doing so is beneath him.

Renho - focused on US refugee policies... Abe and Toyoda - focused on US jobs. Is it just JT posters who feel that these people should focus on helping those whom they represent and live with ?

Abe can't protect the rights of workers in Japan and he won't even mandate wage increases - despite doing all he can to inflate prices... Beware of this man's broken arrows.

An estimated 140,000 Japanese die every year from smoking-related diseases, including 15,000 who die from the effects of secondhand smoke, according to the health ministry.

In terms of passive smoking, here are at least 15,000 reasons to make it happen.

According to the Labor Standards Act regarding pay cuts, “The deduction must not exceed 10% of the total wages in a single payment period.” The reduction of 9,350 yen from the student’s 23,375 yen wage exceeded the 10% mandate.

Under the mandate does this mean that a deduction under 10% for what happened is, in fact, legal ?

the health impact is our main priority

Then don't wait for 2020, do it now - nationwide.

It was not clear what provoked the animal...

As noted, being 'chained' and 'groomed' may have had something to do with it.

Nice pic, at first glance of it as a small image, I thought it might have been a snowy village up in Hokkaido.
