Posted in: Japan's fertility rate drops for 7th straight year in 2022 See in context

It's time to scale back our financial aid to foreign countries and use the money for birthrate declining. Japan has been supporting foreign countries for over 50 years, so they should have no complaints.

Posted in: Huge price hike for Japan Rail Pass triggers huge drop in foreign travelers who’ll buy it See in context

Even after price increases, it will still be cheap. I envy foreigners.

Posted in: Gov't study finds only 3,065 homeless people in Japan See in context

Many foreigners are also on welfare. It is worth trying to apply.

Posted in: Japan's population projected to shrink 30% to 87 mil in 2070 See in context

The situation where 10% will be foreigners is a bit dangerous. I like foreigners, but ethnic diversity may breed hate and violence, just like in the West.

Many Japanese are not so interested in politics, because we can live moderately.

There are too many unethical people in the world.

Posted in: A month after Turkey-Syria quake, survivors need shelter, sanitation See in context

According to the Turkish Foreign Minister, Japan has donated the most. Let's donate.

Posted in: S Korea proposes public foundation to resolve forced labor dispute with Japan See in context

The Korean government and Koreans have softened their attitude considerably. Are they trying to get a share of the concession in Sector 7 ? "No Japan" has ended, many Koreans are now enthusiastic about Japanese anime movies, and large numbers of Korean tourists are flocking to Japan. 

By the way, if Japanese companies were to voluntarily donate money, UNIQLO, for example, would be the best choice. The Korean people's impression of UNIQLO will be greatly improved.

Posted in: Crimes in Japan rise in 2022 for 1st time in 20 years See in context

*Crime rates in Japan are many times higher than what the statistics tell you (for example, one Japanese researcher believes that 90% of suicides are, in fact, murders), and this could be just an increase in reporting anyway, which is good.*

What a foolish researcher. If 90% of suicides are murders, the number of suicides in Japan would be 2,000. We would see the lowest suicide rate in the world.

Outside of Japan, it is very dangerous.

Posted in: Japan's central bank tweaks monetary policy; yen strengthens See in context

For the yen to appreciate significantly, the decline of the crude oil following the end of the war in Ukraine is necessary. Well, even without a drop in the oil market, I think the yen will appreciate to 125 per dollar after Kuroda steps down.

Posted in: 64% disapprove of tax hikes to cover Japan's rising defense budget: poll See in context

I think that Kishida's approval rating would rise if he introduced a pachinko tax and a religious corporation tax -only a few percent of donation revenues.

Posted in: Why Japan is boosting its arms capability, defense budget See in context

It is not good to provoke China too much. Losing the world's largest auto market would put Japan in a difficult situation. It is better to emphasize that the increase in military spending is to counter Russia and North Korea.

Croatia ≧ Brazil = Japan, hahaha

Posted in: Japan beats Spain 2-1 to advance to last 16 at World Cup See in context

Germany and Spain lost because they were caught off guard against Japan. Normally, they would not lose five times out of a hundred. Many of the Japanese players were injured and they played so badly.

Posted in: Win or lose: Japanese fans tidy up at World Cup See in context

Japanese morals and foreign morals are different, so it is better not to do this kind of act. There are always people who criticize it as hypocrisy.

Posted in: Thousands of British nurses to stage first strikes on Dec 15, 20 See in context

How many patients will die because of the strike? I guess it is the poor patients who die. It is very sad.

I hope that Dentsu and its related persons will be fined enormously.

Posted in: Toyota unveils new Prius hybrid with more power, range, style See in context

According to the attached website,

More than 1 in every 3 prospective buyers (36%) are considering a hybrid as their next car or truck purchase, up from 29% in 2019, according to Consumer Reports.

The most reliable automotive brands;

1 Toyota, 2 Lexus, 3 BMW, 4 Mazda, 5 Honda, 6 Audi, 7 Subaru

The new Prius will probably succeed.

They should add to their assessment that it was the Japanese who invented the lithium ion battery and the blue LED. hahaha

And according to the attached website, Japan is not so terrible.

Carbon dioxide emissions per capita: 

Palau 58 tons

United States 16 tons

Japan 9 tons

China 8 tons

The cult has turned a lot of conservatives away from him, but surprisingly there are a lot of mourners.

Posted in: Japan intervenes in currency market buying yen for dollars for first time since 1998 See in context

The BOJ intervened by buying dollars at the 80 yen level (around 2011) and now selling dollars at the 140 yen level. They made quite a bit of money. Japan's foreign exchange reserves are currently $1.0458 trillion. They spent just a little bit of it today, maybe.

Posted in: S Korea, Japan differ over summit plan in New York See in context

The South Korean president has long been eager to meet with the Japanese prime minister and has been far behind in cashing in the assets of Japanese companies. What are they afraid of? Are they threatened by the US?

Posted in: Japan to revise foreign aid charter toward 'more strategic' ODA use See in context

Japan and the U.S. provided enormous financial and technical assistances to China and South Korea, which they have already forgotten. They were a waste of money. Japan should cut back on foreign aid and spend more on anti-poverty, birthrate up, and R&D in Japan.

Judge is preferred for the MVP. If Ohtani wins the MVP, there will be more anti-Otani, which is not good.

Posted in: Cost of Abe's state funeral rises to ¥1.6 billion See in context

I think that many Japanese are opposed to the national funeral because of his association with a cult. If there was no connection, this level of expense might not be a big deal. More importantly, aid to India and Africa is really a waste of money.

Posted in: Japan's plastic waste problem spurring grocery shopping novelty See in context

Many people misunderstand, but plastic waste in Japan is not so bad. Garbage separation and recycling are effective in Japan. Plastic packaging of fruits and vegetables is partly unavoidable in humid Japan. And without packaging, on the contrary, there would be a lot of food loss. Anyway, reduction in plastic waste is a good thing.

Plastic waste generated per capita (kg/year)

U.S.A.: 130, United Kingdom: 98, Germany: 81, Japan: 38, China: 15
