Probably the Japan strain. It has been left to mutate for so long it has become resistant to the existing vaccines. Scary stuff.

The Japan variant especially. Japan may have got off lightly so far, but the world wont look on Japan in the same light when the useless dillydallying leads to a new variant immune to the current vaccines.

Yes, that unspeakable Japanese strain that left to mutate could ruin everything. Ho-hum Nippon

Does this mean a man like me can enter a woman's space and nobody is allowed to point out the fact that I'm a man?
My question may seem absurd but it's an honest question about the new law.
It's not a stupid question, because there are some people who might try to take advantage of these rules.
The ideal solution would be for all bathrooms to become unisex bathrooms. I don't know why this hasn't already become the norm. Whilst they are at it they should install cubicles that reach all the way from the floor to the ceiling. Peace at last :-)

He's good at what he does, and people pay for it! Yours obviously isnt.
its not just small eikaiwas though. Teachers at nova and other big schools under under a lot of pressure. Salaries are based on the number of students, but class numbers are being limited because of the virus. There have also been major issues with going online, because these businesses are not as quick to adapt as small eikaiwas.

This is business. Bad things happen every day to businesses of all shapes and sizes all over the world. Did this business owner really believe that olympic tourism would bring in 18million+ yen in revenue? Seems a little over optimistic. Not her fault though I guess, JGov was spinning the olympics as the end to 30 years of recession.

Nobody should be denied the right to marriage.
Indeed. Make sure you are legally divorced from your room mate, and any joint assets split amicably before moving on to any future marriage though.

Posted in: Japanese same-sex couple overjoyed by marriage ruling See in context
I’m all for LGBT rights. But even if same sex marriage is legal here, it’s still pretty hard to start a family. The dynamics in the bedroom just don’t really work on a biological level and adoption is a long drawn out process that can also be quite costly and the other options are astronomically more.
What is your definition of a family? Is the aim of all married couples to have children?

This country has an insane overreaction to nature. Disasters happen, and afterwards you either rebuild or MOVE. Look at how the rivers, mountains, and seashores are all coated in concrete. The natural beauty of Japan has almost disappeared for the sake of convenience. Noone even seems to care, as they trade their local wildlife for 'kirei' concrete, tarmac, and miles and miles of railing. Well done Japan, you defeated nature.
