Electric Boogaloo

Had one a few days ago. Not great enough to ever have another.

The look on Hara-kantoku's face throughout the 4 games was priceless.

I don't know why Repsol Honda hasn't courted him yet, he's obviously improving each and every race, and being Japanese could raise the profile of MotoGP in Japan.

Sh1mon M4sada, compare the attendance (2019 and prior) of the Motegi MotoGP and the GPs in Spain.   Spain has way, way more MotoGP fans, hence Repsol Honda is signing Spanish riders.  Trying to cultivate a declining market in Japan is not Repsol's immediate interest.

Sydney Pollack's The Yakuza will never be topped by a newer Yakuza film.

Have ridden along this road many times.  Very scenic and enjoyable.

I have never needed this to enjoy drinking at home and never will.

Conbini sandwiches are as nasty as can be!!  No one has a reason to ever eat these ever.  Has anyone in Japan ever been famished with no alternative except these?

tired of social distancing?  just join a protest !

As current office leases start reaching the end of their term there are going to be interesting decisions made by these major firms.  Landlords going to be in a tough situation.

Chinese Professional Baseball League in Taiwan has been playing games for a few weeks now.  Very affordable streaming package can be purchased from the CPBL site.  No English announcers though.

This is news???  This should only be news if they didn't have such a plan.

Drugs....

This makes no sense.  Cosports, the official Olympic ticket seller for the US, Australia, and a big part of Europe has already had 2 rounds of first-come, first-serve sales in addition to the initial application/lottery round.  There are Paralympic tickets available now on Cosports for immediate purchase.

Check out the lines of non-Japanese queueing up in the mornings and casing drug stores and shops, collaborating in gangs, when one identifies a shop with masks they text or call their associates who upon receiving the message break from the line they are in and high tail it to wherever has the masks.  They are making a ton selling them on the black market. The percentage of the masks staying in Japan is pretty low.   Best solution would be to print a Rising Sun Flag on the front of the mask.  See how many will resell to China with that on the front !

Over the past several years these tragedies have assailed the French the most.

Ghosn puts Japan's justice system on trial

As it should be !!

Well played Lebanon!

So their luck depends on their personal performance and achievement?  Who would have ever thought this....

He predicted 2020 would be a "tipping point" for 8K going mainstream.

Nonsense. 4K isn't yet mainstream Japan.  Only like 6 channels on cable broadcasting in 4K and you have to pay extra for most of them.  Also only a small percentage of homes actually have bandwidth speeds that allow for true 4K streaming.

Seriously the worst one in the past 20 years, which I have been forced to watch...

Have to wait until Fall 2020 to see Season 2.

Youtube.  Enjoy the 31st, sleep as much as want.

A new favorite one that needs to stop is wearing a fat backpack backwards for the sole purpose of carving out your own space in order to hold your smartphone on top of the backpack so you can play games or whatever on the phone.  Removal of backpacks and holding them while on the train used to be taught as the good manner practice.

Exactly why NHK has to be crushed.  No small fortune is being confiscated from the populous and paid to these entertainers for them to appear on the show.

Awesome.  Increased supply puts downward pressure on prices.

Yeah Jiro quit accepting reservations due to the growing number of no-shows from Chinese tourists who had made reservations.

Ploy to drum up purchases of tickets for Air Pistol and Speed Walking.

Of course she can't mention anything about US Tax law being a factor, while certainly is. HUGE penalties from the US if that is deemed to be a factor.

Let's Go Cardinals !!!!
