I guess we can only hope that oil is used up before the climate in which humans can survive is destroyed.

Japanese news is identifying him as Nagata Kouji. (長渡康二). He was a member of Kansai Juniors.

Why should the Johnnies boys' careers be ruined because of something Johnny did?

If AI is so threatening, why don't we just stop making it?

If AI robots are so dangerous, don't make them! Just like we should never have made atom bombs.

Where did he get the gun?

Yeah, I've seen couples at restaurants who spend the entire time staring into their phones. And we wonder why the birthrate is falling.

I remember seeing that program when I was studied abroad in the US in the late 1990s. I liked the sense of humor expressed in the show.

CNN was reporting 22 dead. Did that change?

I've loved Cher since I was a little kid in the 80s. Still do! I'll be the first to buy this album in Japan!

I like it. If I'm ever accused of a crime I did not commit, all this data will show that I was not at the crime scene. I'll be proven innocent.

Trees produce the oxygen that we breath. Be carefull!

I grew up here in Shinjuku in one of those old neighborhoods, with 2 story houses and mom and pop shops. I knew everyone since I was a little kid, and we kids grew up together. That neighborhood was all torn down and replaced by 25 floor condos. OK, they put me in one as a condition for buying my property about 15 years ago, but I still don't know anybody. The old times were great.

About a two decades ago, lots of bars in Shinjuku Ni-chome area (Tokyo's gay town) suddenly attached "Japanese only" signs to their doors. A few months later the signs were all gone because it was realized that the signs would mean "Japanese people only", but what was meant was "Japanese language only".

Just curious. How much of this money does she get?

When foreign friends of mine saw signs like this, they say that it is a nice warning that the people in the place are not people that they want to meet. So they just walk on.

I don't get it. Humans create AI, so how can AI become more intelligent than its creators???

PS The ban was made by McArthur after the war.

I'm really glad that there is a ban on handguns in Japan. Rifles are also basically outlawed, but farmers, for example, in remote areas can get them because they may be attacked by bears or wild boars.

Google is the BEST search engine, and that is why it is top! Don't ruin Google for being the best!

The United States of America needs a new name! There is no "United" there anymore.

Why can't we humans spend resources on finding cure for disease and saving lives instead of spending our resources on weapons that kill so many humans? Well, I guess we get what we deserve....

Now it is the boys that will be hurt again, by not being able to perform and make a living. I don't like the boys being harmed like this. Maybe I'll drop NHK.

How could the bankers be so easily fooled? This makes them look bad as well.

Just a detail, but I would translate 渋谷センター街 as "Shibuya Center Street" rather than "Shibuya Center-gai". I don't think that "gai" would be understood.

A TV news program showed him surfing. He is more than twice as old as I am, yet has twice the energy I have. How does that work???

Um, actually, summer is not over yet.

However this is handled, the careers of the boys should not be ruined.

But now what will happen to all the Johnny's boys? It seems unfair that their careers will be ruined because of this. Maybe they were the victims. Why should they be made to suffer more with their careers being ended?

Deglobalization started with Trump. He lost confidence in the ability of the USA to compete globally, especially against China. The aim of deglobalization was to build up the US economy. Trump didn't realize that the US didn't have the new technology, or an American workforce trained to use the new technology to compete. The US is falling behind.
