It’s not about her intelligence. It’s the culture that has no values, and no principles. This type of child murders occurs once in few decades in other countries while it’s almost daily in Japan. Japanese education system should focus on values and should teach about doing the right things in life is what makes us human. It’s not just our shape.

US should obey with the simple and logical request from Japan. Eventually the request can save lives of American soldiers as well as reducing the risks for Japanese people. It doesn’t make any sense to continue using the high risk aircraft, at least not before an in depth investigation to develop more strict SOPs, and improving any structural parts that maybe needed.

Yup, women can get away with the awful crimes by sobbing or by simply claiming she has been abused etc. no evidence would be required. Since she cries, she must be telling the truth for our brain death society (Clarification: this isn’t referring to just japan, but it’s a worldwide fact).

He should have backed out slowly. If he touched slowly, nothing would happen. She could scream and he would stop. He must have backed out fast. Cars should be required to have reversing cameras. They aren’t so expensive.

@Zones2surf. You are right that those sentences were like joke. Let’s hope that the joke won’t be repeated in this case.

It sounds like He is not a human being, just a sick creatures in human shape. It’s for the best interest of society to execute him in the most painful way possible.

That’s terrible. How can a father do this to his own son. I am sorry to state the fact that Japanese people need more values and principles. This type of event occurrences is hugely many times higher in japan than any other country. I wish the best for japan and Japanese people. I hope the situation improves.

Employees shouldn’t fight the thieves. Police can catch them later. It’s better not to risk your safety. I hope thieves got caught soon and all the best for the employee.

i wish i had seen this news before I booked my winter holiday. I will go there next time.

Psycho people use religion to justify their horrible actions. I wish all of tge religious ideas got removed from the world by a miracle. If there were no religions, psychopaths may still find a reason to justify their horrible act and continue on it. It could be skin colour, hair color or eye color. But the world would be a better place without any religion.

I hope the couple get jailed for life and the boy should be raised in government facilities until a good couple would adopt him. Unfortunately, there are so many horrible creatures around in human shape.

peopl doing this study should first look at japan. Wasabi is consumed mostly as a traditional common spice for many food. However, dementia is most wide spread and common in japan. I noticed even some middle age people have dementia even though they are not formally diagnosed yet.

It looks like court forgot give a medal of ideal citizen for the killer. It’s disgusting to give only 13 year sentence for killing a child in this manner.

It’s fair and just not to declare income and avoid tax. When stealing people’s hard work and earnings calling it as tax, people should do all they can to protect their assets against government. There can’t be a fair tax over 40%. It’s like government was there working with the person and carrying half of the people’s work load and taking risk. Without doing almost nothing, taking half of people’s money is stealing even if you name it as tax.

I don’t see what use it would have. It’s the Japanese culture that is problem on child sexualisation.

Mother from hell.i hope she can never see sunlight again to make an example for others. Many Japanese women have similar mental issues.

What’s to complain about? Aren’t they edible? Just eat and sell as meat.

Hygiene standards should be enforced but individual aging producers need to be supported too. The only way i can think of is forming corporate under the government support and run the farms as collaboratively like a one company. Corporate should be nonprofit and all profit must be given to producers according to the size of their farm.

i hope farmers aren’t left alone. Japan should protect its agriculture and farming with practical support.

This type of crimes seem to be committed mostly by teachers, doctors and police in japan. They are supposed to be the most trustable ones. There’s a serious lack of moral and values.

I hope they spend rest of their life in jail. Scam is serious crime. It destroys people lives and some victims suicide.

The report acknowledged the tight schedules and said the overtime the actress had clocked in the last month before her death reached at least 118 hours.

so is that not a serious crime? Shouldn’t responsible people be prosecuted and responsible company get a hefty fine? It would be considered as a serious crime in most countries.

Well done for the court. It’s a fair sentence for horrible killers.

There has not been such penalty for other murder cases. This guy getting like more than 3 to 4 times sentence for being a foreigner. The laws seem to apply differently depending on people’s race. It is disgusting to see racial discrimination done openly.

Ryokans are extremely rude, and extremely overpriced. I wouldn’t recommend for anyone. I booked once and the last time. I got a threatening message as soon as I booked saying they will not serve dinner or any food if I check in after 6pm and they will not refund, (dinner included in the booking since there is no restaurant around). Price is.over 1000 dollar per night. Hilton is a different class, no comparison.

Well done and congratulations to him, smart guy. I hope he would focus on a profession that he can have great achievements.

He sounds like a psyco and dangerous for the society. I hope they keep him in jail for life.

There used to be not so many Japanese criminals in overseas. Recently a lot of Japanese involved in crime around the world.

I hope they stay in jail for a seriously long time. The stabbing with knife is getting to be a common crime. Penalty should be harsh.

It’s too sad she died for stealing food. I think people shouldn’t be chased for arrest if they steal food just for eating. It would be better if someone from a social support organisation reach out to her for help. Social services should reach them.

Just because she is a woman, there seems to be a lot of supporting comments for the killer. When she called police 5 times, police might have done their jobs properly and determined that she was at fault, or she might have not been honest. She might have been the one starting all the fights and then complaining about it. It would be good if people don’t jump into prejudice conclusions without knowing much about the case.
