To claim that American cars are too big for narrow japanese roads is stereotype thinking. There are far more chevys in busan Sk than American cars in the whole of Japan. The reason American cars are not selling here is that deep rooted stereotype that they are too big and of low quality.

Insanity on the increase.

Arturo, are u ssying the normsl person is not working as hard as the ceo.?

People wirk two jobs 18hrs a day and don't make 400,000yen before tax.

What good is it to the economy with an increase in inflation and resulting reduction in consumption due ti the increased inflation.

Kuroda abd Abe should be handed 250,000yen and two kids and told to go

shopping and pay all the bills just like any normal family does, maybe it hammer some sense into them.

Taxis in Sk start at 3300won (300yen).

Right now, Xi, KIm, Moon, Putin and even Merkel are most probably envious of Abe's relationship with Trump

How and why are they envious.?

We would like to apologize to those injured," Shuhei Mamiya, a manager of the bus operator said, adding the company is still gathering information

Still gathering info as if the info was spilled in the crash.

Article is severely short on details again such as the drivers work routine and experience etc.

Abe is on a mission to visit every country on the globe as PM while taxpayers pick up the tab.

I know what it's like to be the "token" gaijin in a Japanese company and it is not fun!

I was for 25 years and I regret it so much. A foreigner is always a foreigner no matter whether you can read, write and speak japanese impeccably.

I own two nissans and even before the Ghosn affair I had made up mind not to ever buy a Nissan because of quality issues and poor fuel consumption.

I have learned a lesson don't buy a car based on the design alone.

The whole thing is fishy and devoid of important details that could help one understand. I strongly doubt language is the reason and since it has gone to court details will be revealed expecially from the victim.

Hope there is a follow up to this case.

Hinomaru, like other operators, gets a transport ministry universal taxi payment and an eco-friendly vehicle subsidy from the Tokyo Metropolitan government. Combined, they cover most of the taxi's extra cost, Touma said.

Sloppy reporting again, only the reporter feels stating the actual cost of the subsidy is not necessary.

He doesn't know that the subsidies are funded by tax payers.

Wish I could receive subsidy to send my children to college and high school.

Capitalism, Take from the struggling and give to the haves

I doubt Drump thought about the repercussion of this trade war that he has decided to wage against the the No.2 economy in the world and the main factory of the world.

Is America not vulnerable with china in possession of US treasury bonds.

Commanteer

another nice thing about Japan is that they don't allow prisoners to rape each other. 

How do u know, have you been inside.?

Jr should devite their energy to safety on the platform so that people especially the blind don't fall onto the tracks.

The picture of Ghosn getting out of the toyota Alphard says alot.

I don't like the chinese as well but they are not as hypocritical like the US, France and England which preach about freedom and human rights but support or prop up tyrants in Africa and the Middle East.

The don't go around bossing other countries or tell them how to run their affairs or use the IMF to enforce austerity measures that create untold sufferings on the citizens.

Those of u supporting this nonsense created by Trump, don't complain tomorrow when prices of most things increase. As America the manufacturing base to take over at short notice if the chinese decide to stop export of finished and semi finished components and materials.

I don't think it does. When two elephants fight it is the small creatures that get hurt.

Be wise and think twice what u wish or support as u may end up being the victim in the power play.

Brainwashing is not an act mastered by only the chinese or NK as we are made to believe. It is practised by every govt on this planet.

I can't believe that in this age of technology that it is not possible to know whether huawei is used to pass data to the chinese govt.

What a pity.

Shame on anybody who believes the blatant lie about security threat by huawei. It is nothing but a ploy to stifle competition and maintain dominance.

Do I need to repeat myself. "*His wife is expected of contacting people on his behalf

Did you intend to write "suspected" or expected is correct.

He also said working in Japan is a prime choice for Filipino professionals because of the relatively high salaries, as well as the culture of inclusion that characterizes the East Asian country.

Relative to which country or countries? If it is the philippines then yes.

Who are they deceiving, they fly to Tokyo first class, stay in 5 star hotels, eat expensive dishes all funded by the mere mortals.

Super great leader shows again he is abreast with occuring events, the safety and well being if the citizens are his utmost concern.

Oh God, thanks for giving us such a great leader. Hope he could be made PM for life.

It is necessary to establish a safety and health management procedure that is equivalent or more advanced than that for Japanese workers," Nemoto s

Wao, .health management procedure that is more advanced than for Japanese workers.

Talk is really cheap indeed.

The new visa program launched this April is intended to bring in mainly blue-collar foreign workers to 14 labor-hungry sectors including construction, farming and nursing care in aging Japan

Shouldn't it be 14 pay-stingy sectors.

Did anyone got arrested or stood trial for this ?

How about he instruct japanese media to change foreign name to conform with the japanese way.

Ok lets see.

Trump Donald, Gates Bill, Clinton Bill, Bezos Jeff.

Death by overwork, known as "karoshi," is a problem in Japan with employees often forced to work long hours despite government measures to try to prevent it.

What are the govt measures the person who wrote this article is talking of.

There is too much cut and paste articles these days.

If one was new to japan or resided abroad one would end up with the false view stated above.
