Why doesn't the parent company pay for this?

Looks like Omicron has hit the US with little fanfare... Seems like it's no worse than Delta at this point.

Sounds like a case of deny to deflect responsibility in court.

The WHO is the IOC of health issues... Out of date and completely useless.

How about this? Let's clean out the diet of anyone who is over 65 years of age. Then replace the prime minister with someone in his 40s that actually understands what direction Japan needs to go in.

You want to enter the world of entertainment? Well congratulations you're now on the front page of the news.

Yawn.... Innocent until proven guilty.

Well, this was accurate... They just played the Dragon Quest theme. I'm sure some Kotaku folks are gonna be mad since the original composer made some homophobic remarks in the past.

Thanks for killing our world TEPCO.

The LDP has gotten far too comfortable in their position. All of these old fogies in power need to be held accountable and tossed in the next election. Unfortunately I don't think Japanese pay enough attention to their politics in order to make a positive change happen in their country.

Profits over people.

She will definitely get away with this based on the fact that the cops only have circumstantial evidence. She's doing the right thing by denying everything and keeping quiet. As long as she doesn't crack on the witness stand when they cross-examine her, she'll be walking out of there a rich woman.

Side note: I found out through another news website that she was an AV actress.

Profits over people

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here... Innocent until guilty folks.

That reporter should get some jail time to teach him a lesson. These guys need to learn they can't do this kind of stuff.

What does a terrorist look like?

Give give Winnie the Pooh his honey pot and tell him to stay home. He's not welcome in Japan.

My wife and I are still amazed that 39% even supports him. I guess those supporters look at the alternative and go, "meh, what's worse?"

The Japanese Government is like the Samurai and stuck in their old traditional ways, while the rest of the world are becoming like Ninjas who are agile and adaptive to change.

Im so happy to see the Olympics being screwed. We don't need these events anymore.

If they are so smart why haven't they retired already?

They don't want to be at home with their wives.

Japan isn't going to have a yen to its name after COVID-19. Good luck figuring this out.

Abe has proven that he is not a leader. A leader makes difficult decisions by ensuring there's a quarantine or emergency act put in place which forces everyone to stay home, and close non-essential businesses. Thanks to the lack of leadership in Japan, COVID-19 is going to take many lives with people crying over their loved ones asking "why did this happen?"

Oh don't worry, it won't be happening at all next year either. Maybe 2022 if you try holding your breath that long.

So he double-downs on his plan, huh? Typical for a lame-duck politician.

The Japanese government care more about economic health than the health of its citizens.

And the sad part is, most Japanese go along with that cause they are all programmed from birth, “がんばれ！！！”

Pathetic.

Funny that you mentioned this. My wife was saying the corporations in Japan basically dictate to the Japanese government what they can or cannot do. So basically Abe must "obey" them, since he doesn't want the economy to go down the drain any more than it has.

If the Japanese government weren't so concerned about the Olympics, they could have gotten ahead of the virus and implemented a plan to control the spread. Instead, the whole country will suffer.

1) They were hiding the numbers to try and make the Tokyo Olympics attractive. (Not a problem now)

2) They don't want to enforce restrictions on businesses / people because they're worried about their sagging economy.

These guys need to start putting in strict laws like Canada is doing with their people by ordering them to stay home during this crisis and not go out unless they need food / gas / medical supplies.

And what if the virus never goes away? What then? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The Olympics is not life and death....COVID-19 is.

The focus should be to get the country back to normal, so they can safely host the games.
