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

Wont be hard to win a race with only one Competitor

Good to see human selfishness isnt Limited to the Western world. By all means spread the virus around your local area, but dont start travelling to other prefectures. Idiots.

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.

Gotta love the US. A nation, where the police literally go around murdering ethnic minorities, lecturing other countries on human rights. Politics is hilarious.

I wonder who believe in these planned statistic,and how come that in the Japanese media they avoid to speak of Eek? The new variant found in Tokyo which is 70% resistant to the vaccines?

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

They could just say they identify as a man and get this whole thing over already.

The independent coffee shop owners can get jobs at Costa. Win-win

far too many troublemakers it seems. they should show more "japan spirit" and work for the betterment of the youth and schooling system, not to complaining on the Twitter! very disappointment

BANZAI!

As long as the virus does not mutate into a far deadly type I cannot foresee people changing their behavior, i for one shall not.

Another clueless idiot clearely lost their carer. How you think viruses mutate you mug?

Remember stairs? Stairs were great.

Our Japanese boss insists it remain “on”, Picture in Picture, so he can monitor productivity and ‘breaks’ throughout the work day.

I'd quit. Even prison cells dont have round the clock surveillance.

It sounds so stupid, but they need to be more careful. Leave a gap in the supply chain for a product as lucrative as this, and someone is bound to come and fill it. Get your act together and start producing overtime.

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.

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?

Who cares?

Get the old money machine back on the go.

BRRRRRRRR

Problem solved.

You would have to be next level thick to be making preparations for foreign visitors during the olympics at this point.

Why is the Chinese government so obsessed with aggression? It goes against every Chinese persons character that i have had the pleasure of meeting.

So true. The actions of the Chinese government do not reflect the feelings of the Chinese people.

Just call it "The Japanese Strain" already. No-one is coming over for the olympics anymore,

so what does it even matter?

A great excuse for any teachers perving on their female students.

Those Sea Walls being built might be the only thing stopping the next Monster of a Tsunami from repeating what happened in 2011. Fact

Until there is another tsunami of 'unprecedented' proportions

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.

The air looks so rank

Demon Slayer” has spun off video games, toy figures

This is literally the only reason any manga gets made into an anime

Worst case situation a 3 year sentence, and a $3000 fine for $600,000. I wouldn't even waste money on a lawyer, just do the time and enjoy the money when I get out.

"NEWS"

They better not start doing this in Japan. I'd never leave the clinic.
