My first ever baseball game. Great game, well done Japan.

That's a bad choice of male companion.

I wonder, has it always been this way? Or it's a modern phenomena since the bubble burst?

Is that the highest child suicide rate in the developed world?

I think S Korea has bigger problems than this issue that happened 70 years ago.

I don't get it, it's a photo. Imagine how many CCTV cameras take pictures of you everyday.

I came to Japan 20 years ago - you would never hear of such things then

It doesn't mean it never happened though.

The whole business model is suspect.

I agree, it kind of feels a bit unhygienic in these post COVID days.

Robot waiter would be better.

When the US used atomic bombs in 1945 nobody knew the degree of devastation.

Second use?

1/3 of Japanese women are childless. It's quite a shocking statistic.

Good on Japan

This is perhaps a more important question to ask about a 30-year-old wood-frame house, isn’t it?

I suppose it's possible the land may not actually be worth much in 30 years given that the population is shrinking and will likely drop a lot.

I'm just so used to thinking of property as an investment. I'd rather hold overseas property which will almost certainly rise in value and rent in Japan.

That's expensive and worst of all, when you come to sell it in 30 years time, what's it going to be worth?

I'd rather have a house and some land.

sidewinder missiles cost $400K.

And the total cost of using one is probably millions according to analysis I watched.

I'd be willing to bet no women was ever consulted about this law, let alone the children it affects.

I think the problem is Japanese guys need to get their game on

I don't think game is the problem.

You've got it backwards.

The same thing happens everywhere in the developed world when women aren't forced to get married and have kids.

Aren't there literally millions of single women in Japan? It's not like there are millions of couples waiting to have kids at a green light.

How does this policy change the fact that these women haven't and can't find a decent man?

Is there a lot of illegal workers then?

Wearing masks in school has got to cause some sort of long term mental issue. Not seeing people's facial expressions, especially for small children, it can't be good. Time to unmask for the sake of the children.

Why's he saying this though? A child born today wouldn't be working until 2043, it's too late. Are they going to open the door to immigration?

Poor child

They keep tweaking things to make it better, but I think it's too late.

What are all the attractive women on the stage for?

He's picked on and murdered an elderly man and his family, disgusting.

Here we go again....

Japan's suicide rate is lower than in the US.

Yes but you're just comparing the overall number. Child suicide is higher in Japan.

That was likely premeditated since who walks around with a hammer like that? Bit of a strange time though, 7:15am, I mean who wakes up and decides to kill their neighbor?

Yet Japan wants more babies…

Yes, Japanese ones.

It fits the western stereotypical image that Japan is wired.
