Posted in: Abductee's mother pins hopes on fresh Japan-N Korea dialogue See in context

It was good to read about her granddaughter. I didn't know about her.

I know she won't give up after these many years, even if they were to show her Megumi's grave, DNA match of her remains or anything that proved that Megumi's no longer alive. She wouldn't accept the truth after hoping for so long. Must be so hard.

Posted in: Why is anti-Japanese sentiment remaining from the World War II era almost non-existent in Taiwan, Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia, unlike in China and South Korea? See in context

The Japan hate is nothing but a trump card used by politicians when they need to distract the people from problems at home. That's the way China and Korea have done it.

Japanese people as the norm do not like back country skiing - it is more of a tourist activity

You're so wrong about that. The are lots of Japanese companies offering backcountry asking across Hokkaido, Tohoku and Nagano, geared towards Japanese people and they do enjoy it quite much. So no, it's not a tourists activity at all. Last week a 26 Japanese male snowmobiler also sadly lost his life in another avalanche close to Yotei.

It's not time to stop backcountry skiing. It's time to level up the game and improve the avalanche network and snow science. In north America alongside the report of an avalanche incident, an avalanche report is released with the right information like type of snow, layers, aspect, conditions, cornice break or not, etc.

Yes, it's a dangerous sport. That is why we study snow science and train hard so situations like this happen less often. And when they did happen, we could react and decide on an action plan. You don't stop driving just because and stay home just because car crashes could happen.

Is this really a movie that people in Hiroshima can bear to watch?"

Why not? Non of them were alive back then. And go they not study history at school, or do they just skip the entire part where Japan raped other countries without mercy?

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Sounds like his parents and other relatives just throw money at him but never thought about teaching him how to properly spend any of it. Hopefully he's still has s chance to learn before he commit similar mistakes when he grows older.

Don't be a puss. Go pass a stone, or two, if they want to experience pain. It'll be an unforgettable experience.

Posted in: Gov't OKs bill to introduce joint custody after divorce See in context

Watch the bill fall apart in a week because some politicians will come and say this will destroy the foundations of Japanese families and culture, or that is not proven that joined custody is a good thing, or some other nonsense. Just like keeping your surname after marriage, indoor smoking and other issues keeping Japan in the samurai times.

No lead roles? Then what happened to The Marvels, She Hulk, Madame Web, Ghostbusters and Star Wars (just to name a few)?

Oh right. They flip flopped coz the whole purpose was to have women on leading roles but they forgot to include good writers.

Posted in: Tourists banned from private alleys in Kyoto's geisha district See in context

Just close Japan to tourism. No more tourists staying in hotels, buying at shops and restaurants, no money coming in.

Or they can ask tourists to just drop all their money at customs and go back to their country. Tell them how much Japan hates tourists.

Posted in: S Korea's Yoon calls for unification, on holiday marking 1919 uprising against colonial Japan See in context

@Sammit

Kim Jong Un drops dead

It's not as simple as that. There are way more parties involved and Fat but doesn't look like he's gonna die of hunger anytime soon.

That would imply an ROK invasion and take over of Japan

You're mistaken again. If what I said above would ever happen (I didn't imply it as a possible scenario), it would be without any one invading the other. And since Korea and Japan are in such good terms, all thanks to your persistent, Yoon, your fantasy would never come true.

Posted in: South Korea publicly orders some doctors who walked off the job back to work See in context

You know, if Japan was smart, they'd poach these doctors ( esp the trainees) to address the shortage in Japan.

Yeah but in what language would these doctors communicate with the rest of their Japanese staff and patients?

A unified Korean peninsula is not possible. North and South are two entirely different countries now. A unified Japan/South Korea would happen before North and South become one. Meaning, it won't happen.

So according to your statement, Putin never invaded Ukraine and never started a war. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense... Not!
