gerry comments

all male British royals are required to serve in the armed forces, and it is entirely possible based on recent polls, that while respected, the royalty in that country may end in the near term. The Japanese royalty I see offer no benefits to this country & are a huge tax payer expense. I sense little respect for them among the young Japanese.

spring last year in Hyogo, was full lockdown - all retail closed(except supermarkets, pharmacies & convenience stores), double masking, or mask & face shield.....maybe we should be there again...better than having people die at home (so far 8 in August in Tokyo). where is the vaccine? spend billions of taxpayer dollars on the olympics - did not have the ability to to line up vaccine?

why is Canada not reported with other countries in the medals awarded?

Mori was 1 of the worst prime ministers that ever served the country, general view he was never very clever,

read the history of some of his time as PM.

I would hope the captain & 1st officer are in police custody, pending complete investigation.

Mitsui OSK should clearly be reacting in a much more forceful way....how embarrassing for Japanese corporate endeavor.
