The world is full of violence, murder, hatred and filth. It is human nature to want to travel to a safe and clean country.

I really wish the rest of the world would learn from Japan.

To be honest, wearing a mask is tremendously comfortable. We can cover up without makeup and shaving. It also hides the smell of our breaths.

In South Korea, airline reservations have exploded, and in Hong Kong, the number of people converting their money into Japanese yen has exploded. Americans should come to Japan while it is available.

As JeffLee-san says, this is a bit of an impression manipulation headline. 41.3% of the total is largely due to SoftBank's huge investment losses, and only 16% is probably real. Besides, if we look at the fiscal year ended in March, net income of listed companies is up 36% from the previous year, and if we exclude Softbank's performance, it is up 75%. Moreover, one in three listed companies had the highest profits in their histories for the fiscal year ended March 2022.

According to some Japan Today commenters, Japan seems to be hell for foreigners. Refugees are not likely to have jobs unless they can speak Japanese, and it would be better for them not to come. That being said, countries with high GDP per capita should accept more refugees. Unfortunately, many Japanese fear a deterioration in public safety. Most do not want a chaotic society like the West.

The Japanese government has debt of JPY 1,000 trillion, but Japanese individuals have financial assets of JPY 2,000 trillion. Instead of individuals, the government is spending. In some respects, it is inevitable that Japanese individuals have a low appetite for consumption. Japan has no natural resources and a lot of terrible disasters. In some aspects, it is inevitable that Japanese make deposits to prepare for the future.

He is a big fan of Japanese animation, and he does not want to see a decrease in the number of Japanese.

After the baby boomers are gone, Japan will get a huge inheritance tax and a sharp decline in pension payments. Government budgets will then be used to address the declining birthrate.

Moon Jae-in was too bad a president. In foreign affairs, relations between Japan and South Korea were at their worst, he was not taken seriously by the U.S., ignored by China, and made a fool of by North Korea. The suicide rate remains high and the birthrate is considerably worse than in Japan. The Corona measure, which he had boasted about, became a mess at the end, and prosecutorial reforms destroyed the separation of powers. The success of Samsung and KPOP has nothing to do with him.　He was popular simply because of his anti-Japanese words and actions. However, it is very interesting to note that his daughter was enrolled in a far-right Japanese university (Kokushikan University).　It remains to be seen how many his scandals will be discovered.

Most Japanese know he is great.

For Southeast Asian countries, a visit by the Japanese prime minister would be a great joy.

Trust perceptions towards major powers for Southeast Asian countries:

Japan 67%, EU 51%, US 47%, China 16%

Frankly speaking, please return JPY 500,000 I donated.

The Ukrainian government should be smarter. Japan is probably one of the top three countries in the world in terms of individual donations to Ukraine. I think there are many Japanese who are willing to donate after the war is over.

It appears that the Japanese prosecutors were right after all.

Poor Ghosn can no longer live anywhere but in Lebanon.

I am sorry, but crime rates in other countries are considerably higher than in Japan. It may be the job of police officers to question people from those countries. I am sorry.

I think this is an unavoidable aspect, There are some foreigners who stay in Japan illegally. However, it is undesirable to have many anti-Japanese because of this.　Some of them often come here and make bad comments.

After all, Japan is an elderly-centered society. The elderly are afraid that the travel restrictions will be lifted and the virus will spread. And recently, the new cases have increased globally.

Japan should not give so much aid to other countries anymore. Even if Japan aids, many countries may be grateful for a while, but soon forget about it. China and Korea are good examples. Most people in those countries have already forgotten about Japan's assistance at all. Contributions to international organizations such as the UN should also be reduced. Even if Japan gives big money to them, Japan does not get special treatment in those organizations.

The BOJ is continuing its ultra-easy policy to achieve 2% inflation. Japan's current inflation rate is 0.9% and extraordinary level in the world, but there are projections that it will reach 2% this summer. There is a possibility of a policy shift around that time.

Just being able to compete will be enough. There are many countries, including Italy, that cannot participate. Besides, soccer is not the most popular sport in Japan, and it would be bad for other countries if we win.

According to the attached website, Ukrainians want to move to Poland. Well, it is very suspicious data.

If pachinko funds are flowing to North Korea, there may be a law in the near future banning pachinko in order to cut off the funds.

In East Asia, Japan, China, South Korea, North Korea, and Taiwan hate each other, with the exception of Japan-Taiwan relation. It's very interesting.

Makes me think that Taiwanese who took this survey clearly have no knowledge about the many other wonderful countries in the world! The research agency responsible this survey was probably a Japanese company therefore NO BIAS WHATSOEVER… lol !

Is this the top story ?

Japan is really peaceful, while the world is full of violence, crime, murder, and hatred.

I understand your desire to rely on Japan.

However, if Japan doesn't pay a lot of money, there will be plenty of foreigners who will criticize it. And Japan has the certain livelihood protection system which covers more than 2 million people including foreigners.

Japan is truly a kind country. I can understand why foreigners respect it so much.

For the most part, the Japanese govt is "giving away money" to Japanese corporations contracted to build the infrastructure and equipment. 

Even if Japanese contractors are used, the raw materials that make up the bulk of the construction costs are imported from outside Japan and borne by Japan. Local labor costs are also borne by Japan.

The OECD often criticizes Japan for tying its aid to Japanese corporate stakeholders.

If possible, please show me the evidences of criticism.

Japan is truly a kind country to foreign countries. I wonder how many tens of billions of yen, including private donations, will eventually go to Ukraine?

Unfortunately, many Japanese believe that American prisons are much more dangerous than those in Japan. While this may not be true, many believe that rape, violence, covid-19 and drugs are prevalent.
