China ought to get it's own house in order before it begins condemning others....

Posted in: One life to live after losing 6 family members in 3/11 disaster See in context

My heart absolutely breaks for this man (and everyone else who was impacted by this awful day).

I look at my own young family and I couldn't imagine a life without even one of them in it, let alone all of them.

Posted in: Moscow accuses Japan of Russophobia, making 'vicious attacks' over Ukraine war See in context

Russia will have bigger things to worry about once the Chinese feel that the time is right to attack the wounded, frail and old Russian bear and reclaim the resource rich lands that were lost under the Amur annexation.

If/when that does happen. The majority of the world will mostly sit back and watch (because what Western nation would be willing to help Russia?) and Japan could take that opportunity to reclaim the Northern Territories that were lost to the Soviet Union at the end of WWII.

Posted in: Is it the end of Japan’s conveyor belt sushi as we know it? See in context

I've been ordering off the touch screen since 2015, and I can imagine that most other customers do, too.

This recent incident is one of the (if not the) final nail in the coffin of conveyer belt sushi. Hopefully this will also lead to less food wastage.

His punishment should be to lose one of his two nuts...

It's "just one", right?

I am surprised that they aren't uprooting all of the trees, so that Tokyoites can enjoy having another shopping mall...

Posted in: UK gov't seeks stronger powers to stop disruptive protests See in context

The Tory run circus is always a good reminder and reason for why I have no intentions of moving back to the UK.

The UK is a ram shackled husk of it's former self and I have no intention of being there once it completely collapses.

Posted in: N Korea raps Kishida's overseas visits; warns against NATO influence in Asia See in context

With time, NATO might evolve itself into an organisation that includes Japan, Australia, New Zealand and possibly also South Korea.

NK can shout their hypocritical nonsense as much as they like. But with threats from themselves and China, it wouldn't be all that surprising to see a reorganised NATO that involves the US' Pacific allies.

Posted in: UK, Japan sign defense agreement allowing troop deployments See in context

Britain and Japan haven't had a military aliance since 1902. But it came in very handy for Japan during the 1904/5 Russo-Japanese War. Japan now has military agreements with the US, Australia and UK.

The alliance came in very handy during WWI for the UK, Australia & New Zealand. With Japan helping these nations to capture German occupied territory in the Far East and the Pacific.

The IJN also helped Britain and other allied navies to patrol the Mediterranean against the navies of Germany and it's allies.

Posted in: China suspends visa issuance to Japanese travelers, industry sources say See in context

Okay, the solution to China's toddler tantrum is rather simple. Give them a 'time out' by suspending all air travel to/from China.

They want to act like a toddler and misbehave... Well, they can be treated as such till they learn how to grow up and behave like a mature nation.

Have some friends visiting this year and I told them last December to buy their Yen now as forecasts predict that the Yen should strengthen in 2023.

Posted in: COVID travel curbs against Chinese visitors discriminatory, says state media See in context

Low vaccination rates, Chinese made vaccines that don't work and 50% infection rate among passengers on flights that have recently departed China for Europe and that's only skimming the surface.

Of course, the world will take precautionary measures. Nothing discriminatory about that, China.

Posted in: Russia may join sports events in Asia ahead of 2024 Olympics See in context

Russia and Belarus are both still banned from all international ice hockey competitions that are sanctioned by the IIHF (which act as qualifiers to the Winter Olympics) and there is no way to get around that for them. And, it's quite well known, just how much Putin cares about the gold in men's ice hockey.

Everyone has a limit and once they've been pushed to that limit, all bets are off.

What will happen next and how will the CCP respond? Only time will tell.

Posted in: Missing French woman's brother in Japan to continue search for sister See in context

I remember seeing the missing person posters, for this lady, when I was in Nikko at the beginning of 2019.

Very sad situation for her family and I pray that they eventually find their closure.

The new 1000¥ note from the upcoming 'Series F bills' has to be my favourite bank note design of all time!

I am a huge fan of Hokusai, and in particular, his work 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa'.

Posted in: Crush kills at least 151 at Halloween festivities in Seoul See in context

This is absolutely horrific and shocking beyond words. A lot of young lives, that went out for a fun evening, have been lost. Families are going to be waking up to the news that their sons and daughters won't be returning home.

This is heart breaking and my deepest thoughts are with the families of the deceased and the emergency workers who have had to deal with scenes that are beyond comprehension.

And what to do next? The SK government need to take action. I've been to Itaewon during the day and those streets are far too narrow for the amount of foot traffic that Itaewon receives on a daily basis.

Two countries that are opposite sides of the world. But both Finland and Japan share a lot of similarities with one another.

Trussonomics is the spliff that Brexit smoked after a long session in the pub. The Tories are now having a market whitey, kneeling in front of the toilet, room spinning. The Bank of England is standing awkwardly by, offering to make sugary tea.

Posted in: Russia protests over Japan's firing of HIMARS in exercise with U.S See in context

Japan are fully within their rights to test their weapon systems in their own territory.

At least - unlike a certain other country - they aren't using their weapons against defenceless women and children.

RodneyToday  10:11 am JST

What on earth would you want to buy from the UK? Greasy brown food? Three headed fish? Tea cups made in China with pictures of the Queens Jubilee?

Aircraft components, mechanical machinery, electrical machinery, pharmaceuticals, crude oil, cars, alcoholic beverages (gin, whisky, etc), cheese, sea salt (one of the largest exporters in the world of that), etc, etc.

Kinda funny, really, how the 10th largest exporter in the world exports a lot of goods to the rest of the world....

A state funeral that has apparently 'split public opinion'. But you know full well, that no matter what the LDP does, they will still win the next general election and continue remaining in power....
