Posted in: Japan to halt funding for U.N. women's rights panel over call to end male-only imperial succession See in context

A bit hypocritical, Japan.

Don't know the place very well do you. They won't be told what to do by outsiders. It's a loss of face.

Posted in: SBI Shinsei Bank to pay back ¥100 billion in gov't bailout funds See in context

This bank is hopeless. So glad I closed.my account. No credit card option and they withdrew from the cirrus network. The final straw was a joke of a mortgage offer.

Move your cash elsewhere folks.

Posted in: Hokkaido city posts guards at tourist hotspot ahead of Lunar New Year See in context

The move comes as the city has been grappling with increasingly troublesome behavior from foreign tourists on film location tours, including a recent incident where a Chinese woman died after being hit by a train while taking photos on the train tracks.

Darwin's theory at work. Amazing how many of these irritating "influencers" just keep demonstrating it to us.

Posted in: Growing Muslim population in need of burial plots in Japan See in context

This is going to sound harsh but how about convert to the local religion or one more in line with Japanese way of life if one wants to live here.

Not harsh at all. Japan should not start pandering to one specific group of people. If they want burial plots, they buy the land, go through the paperwork and sort it out themselves.

Posted in: Ishiba says he will accelerate debate over selective surname system See in context

He must have got in time for a smoke. Have another, a change is what's needed here not another talkfest. It's ridiculous forcing people to change a name if they don't want. The public needs to stop shoulder shrugs and shoganais too.

Posted in: Dutch researchers employ unique e-bike to make cycling safer See in context

The Netherlands also has miles of segregated cycling tracks. All we have in Japan is a bit of paint on the roads which cyclists (they're on the pavement) and motorists (they park on it) ignore.

Posted in: Japan looks to cash in on matcha boom to boost green tea exports See in context

If the government also cut taxes, consumer sentiment would probably improve slightly.
