Fighto,
I'm guessing you didn't watch the game

Malaysia had 3 shots and scored 3 goals

I'm sorry he has been abused
However he shouldn't be playing he was back up for reds last year. And u
is 21, for a keeper that's too young to be playing internationally
By playing him too soon, Moriyasu has finished his international career before it's even starred

Shibuya don't want the cost of policing and cleaning up
The people on the street aren't spending money
What a strange thinking!
This was the same argument in Akihabara to ban cosplay on Sunday.
Do you think people go there just go happy New year and leave?
No they by food before, the buy booze, they will go to bars after, pay a taxi home, etc...
As I said I think Shibuya should be holding street events as a social responsibility, but regarding economics I disagree
Most of the people attending outdoor free events are buying cheap booze and food at convenience stores at taking the train home
Unfortunately 30 years of economic decline has meant kids on their early 20's aren't popping champagne in clubs at midnight
Thy're drinking haichu from cans and rushing for the last train

So, I can see why shibuya doesn't want them .
On the other hand, the government has a responsibility to provide services to all age /social groups. SO if people want to gather around the scramble, the government should provide them with a safe environment inwhich to do so.
It seems a case of old people forgetting they were young once

Anyone saying the bomb was justified or a good thing please come to Hiroshima or go to Nagasaki and visit the peace parks
Japan undoubtedly committed many atrocities yet that doesn't justify destroying two cities and killing hundreds of thousands
Not to mention the horrific illnesses that killed thousands more years later.
Regarding the movie I like Nolan so I'll watch it on Netflix eventually

it was, because children do die or get life long disabilities because of covid, low risk do not mean zero risk.
That's factually wrong not one child in Japan has died of civil
Also there is growing concenus that the risk of and effects of long covid have been overstated
