I will give it Cameron. When you can get a theater full of people in Kentucky to applaud the defeat of their country's military twice you have made quite a pair of films.

Anyone remember when the Shinkansen had smoking cars? When you opened the door to pass through that car you could only see about 8 rows deep the smoke was so thick.

Posted in: Japan enjoys cherry blossom season despite COVID-19 worries See in context

OK to go with 10 friends to an Izakaya or bar and party as long as you want, but every park I know of is forbidding anyone to sit on a sheet under the cherry blossoms in the name of Covid prevention.

Posted in: Japan to cap spectators at 10,000 after COVID-19 state of emergency See in context

" Existing guidelines allow a maximum of 5,000 people or 50 percent of a venue's capacity, whichever number is greater, until the end of this month." Is the limit the greater or smaller? Yesterday's JT article "Gov't considering quasi-state of emergency in Tokyo during Olympics" stated the opposite, "Until the end of this month, attendance at big events will be limited to a maximum of 5,000 people or 50 percent of a venue's capacity, whichever number is smaller."

Posted in: Over 30% in Japan see rise in exposure to secondhand smoke See in context

It is quite shocking to find out there is now an all-time high of 1.1 billion smokers globally. Ten countries make up 66% of this population, of which Japan is one of the them, which is not so shocking.

Posted in: Japan speeds up COVID vaccine rollout for elderly See in context

NHK's coverage of this on New Watch 9 was a priceless illustration of Japan on this topic. Reporting how Fukushima prefecture has hired an army of college students to help the elderly make online appointments. The student they showed had an iPad. On the screen was written "Gateway - Timeout - Error". The kid just kept hitting refresh like he was playing a video game fighting a monster. The old lady he was assisting just sat there with her head hung.
