Suspended, on condition that . . . He never does it again? Oh wait, he can’t do it again. He already helped them to die.

Perfect publicity to keep out tourist overload. We know great places here!

Japan Rail pass price increasing by 77% says it all

It’s been a poor deal from the beginning, with the forced consecutive days rule. Compare to Eurail pass, which is cheaper, and can be used day by day.

Rublev's trophy is much cooler looking

Where's the third choice — independent coffee shops that aren’t traditional kissaten?

Concrete floor & walls, big open wall for the wind, lovely

David Crosby was great, and one of a kind. Context is important: He came on the scene when “Dominique,” by the singing nun was #1 (https://youtu.be/EO7cD6qmydo)

Like a miracle, he arrived full blown

I will miss him

Tokyo exhibit showcases Dior's passion for ¥apan

Just very sad

I wonder if anyone put half the blame on courts and politicians for their cowardice in not standing up to the NRA and stopping the gun epidemic.

Just now it seems that isolation from “reality” seems like a dream come true.

This would probably baffle King Solomon!

She’s “indicted.” It’s not up to JT readers to convict her, even before the case had gone to trial.

Smart to have kept the Christians out. Look what the devastation they did to indigenous in the Americas, Africa and Asia.

Rodney, I think your figures are a bit wacky

Happy to read this positive news.

Amazing to see how many people here are Gaslighting experts on the LGBTQ+ situation in Japan, without research or experience.

Judging from the number of down votes, it seems like they're already operational

Can you see the ghost face between the two females, hovering just above them?

Then the cleaning…

¥350,000 for a life lost. It would be laughable if it weren’t so sad

Scary!

I suppose Kobayashi-kun already showed he can jump high enough

Speed up?! Friends and family in Europe and North America have already gotten their booster shots. Japan as usual is just talking about it. Just like they did for the first vaccines.

Back in the day, we would have called his complaint “pi$$ing into the wind.”

If we need a Covid test, as was indicated, that will eat up a lot of that savings

If their marriage has lasted, they are probably a healthy couple. Compare many tight marriages that all too often end in acrimony and divorce.

Usually these passes are only for consecutive days, which takes a lot of the value away. I doubt these passes would be any more flexible. (Unlike for example a Eurail pass which is totally flexible, and is good in 33 countries.) A JR pass is so limited in how one could use it.

Best headline! Congrats
