Initially I was thinking Flat-35, Since he used the money in "online-casino" it should be business loan.. LOL

I think the recipient is ready to sacrifice his/her life. Probably desperate time desperate measures.

I think lot of JT readers are confused here.

To get work visa in Japan:

Step 1- Find a company that is ready to hire you and okay with all the paperwork.

step 2 - Apply at immigration (no lawyers needed) but depends on company/individual.

step 3 - Immigration will compare academic qualification/ vocational degree with offered job. If they match you'll get visa if they don't visa will be denied.

***Let's say Mark-san has business level Japanese and vocational course in tourism/hospitality and would be great asset to cash register/ hall staff / Kitchen staff at izakaya X or restaurant Y, Yoshinoya, McDonald, KFC etc. Visa will be denied, no matter what. So Yoshinoya probably saved his/their time by just denying entry.

Hopefully this info will help someone.

Japanese immigration does not recognize Japanese restaurant's/Izakaya's hall staff/kitchen job eligible for work visa. All those employed are mostly hired illegally as IT-technician or R&D staffs and work inside kitchen-Hall. Unfortunately this is very true.

 "It is extremely difficult for a foreign national to obtain a work visa and there is a possibility that you will not be able to join the company even if you are offered a job."

What a waste of AI systems. Its donated money why so much effort? Just make the box little deeper, translucent and with one way open spring-lid system. I bet the AI systems will be a monthly subscription type.

Maybe negotiate to payback in flat 35? LOL

Run Forest run :D !!!

he had an IQ of 69 and was intellectually disabled

Just curious, how he obtained heroine in first place?

Those biker's gang should release right into the gasoline tank. Extra miles for them and eternal peace for all of us.

I always show my card / license proudly!.. here!

If I'm not wrong J-police have given authority to check visa validity (recently passed law). Hence they ask any alien looking face for valid ID and we can't even deny.

I don't understand this panic, they wanted cheaper yen, isn't it BOJ? Wait...

Good thing with Netflix is I can watch movies in English/Native language, Multiple user/devices, 4K content unlike AZ prime (don't know about others). But I have to say their library is saturated with basic TV series and takes me at least 10-15min to find what I should watch. Still worth it.

The estimated cost of cleaning up all these messes came to 300,000 yen

This is Amazon!

Women overtake men in exam pass rate at Japan's medical schools

In Japan I've noticed that female has always high competition in school entrance (number of female candidates vs available slots) which make them more competitive. On the side note we'll have less creepy oyaji docs ;lD

According to the news and tv there is only Japan.

But how about a single article praising the outstanding performace of a country of only a tiny fraction of this like Norway?

I see load of frustration... ahahaaha. I use to have one when you see all the news and can't figure out who won the match or the final LOL! You live with it.

Instead of getting vaccine to set some positive example as a celebrity, he choose to stay the opposite side. Way more pride. Tennis championship was there before you and will remain after you. Good luck!

So sorry but Its good to know the long term effects of Covid-19 because few "smart people" still take it as common cold.

*sever

Its ridiculous to see people still doubting on cause of death on reported number. Most of them died at hospital while under "Sevier condition". Most probably underreported numbers. I have lost 10+relatives and friends. This is the typical scenario; patient goes to hospital due to high fever and cold. PCR gives covid+ve result. Things does not improve. Oxygen level decreases. Patient goes under multiple medications. After few days patients is again tested which gives covid -ve results but suddenly doctor declares pneumonia complications and patients die. Cause of death "multiple organs failure".

Politicians will never know the term "Osmosis".

Export is topping (god news) but inflation is increasing. Ever wonder how other countries can afford Japanese agricultural products but mostly out of reach here in Japan.

2500 +1 teacher shortage now.

One of the top stressed job in Japan. Period.!!!

Its definitely risky. Demark has decided to be Guinea pig for the whole world. Hopefully they can keep their kids population safe, I mean without any side/long term effects. We'll see.

@editor Looking at the picture, I would like to see Mr. Biden on TV and Mr. Kishida on chair as its happening live from Japan. This perspective just looks weird.

Restaurants that close at 9 p.m. and don't serve alcohol receive 30,000 yen per day in government compensation, while those that close at 8 p.m. get 25,000 yen per day.

This Funny!! you open one hour extra and receive more?

*relief supplies and $1M

Work from home has created lots of JT experts lately. Please do not compare the aids with anything, Its a humanitarian aid. Japan is sending relief supplies worth $1M. Every country should if they can.

The numbers are high up despite closed border and quasi. Now imagine the number without it. In another new sFrance got 500K +ve infection in one day. You guys (*with complains) will be flyjin if it happens in Tokyo.
