What a generic comment. Does the Emperor not know that the pandemic is already over? Let’s “hope” he does.

Lack of COVID restrictions? Hmm..Isn’t that kind of a strong opinion for an information source?

What is the underlying issue as to why Japan doesn’t want to use the received boxes of vaccines that are just sitting their piling up dust? Even a high school kid could work out a way in a class project to get the job done. Does it have something to do with finding a way out from hosting the Olympics or some other political reason? Dumbfounded.

So sad. Just doing nothing doesn’t work in a dire situation when it affects peoples’ lives. How do they sleep at night? Time is upon 98.8% of us!

Posted in: UFC Fight Night returns to Saitama Super Arena See in context
I can't help but partially agree with Mocheake. Though there needs to be some local fighters, as for future build up in every outside-US UFC event, the main event is simply sad. OSP hasn't been the most relevant lately, and Shogun was never that popular of a draw for Japanese fans to jump at the chance to buy tickets for. Guess they're banking solely on the story build up of revenge for Shogun's loss against OSP in their last outing. This should definitely be brought down to a co-main event. Will look forward to seeing though as they add more to the card!

Posted in: Dentist stabbed by masked man outside clinic in Tokyo See in context
I hear malpractice in Japan can be rampant! Sure, more dentists than convenience stores may do it. Word has it that to fulfill the supply and demand deficit some only fix the teeth to seventy-percent. Only way to guarantee the patient returns to fill the thirty-percent. Business is business. This news, though, is regrettable and sad to say the least.

Someone was definitely paid off.

Mitsuhisa Watanabe says the earth's plates could move under the Oi nuclear plant in western Japan, causing a catastrophe to rival last year's atomic disaster at Fukushima -- although some of his colleagues on a nuclear advisory panel disagree. "It is an active fault. The plates shifted some 120,000 to 130,000 years ago for sure," Watanabe, of Tokyo's Toyo University, told AFP.

Just look at the picture! I've been living in Tokyo for over ten years now. The morning-afternoon sun suddenly turned to greyness. Have never seen any yellow dust LIKE THAT here. Still no word from Japanese gov't of PM 2.5 levels?!
