My prayers and condolences to his family and the people of Okinawa.
May he rest in peace.

Posted in: Temperature tops 40 C for 2nd day in row See in context
Given the magnitude of this heat, Tokyo should hold the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in October, like the last time in 1964! If this repeats next summer and in 2020!

Posted in: No one would be worse off if half the anime being made wasn’t produced, says director See in context
Remember how Anime was in the late Showa and early Heisei eras? It was better!
The so-called "production committees" ruined everything!

Posted in: Gun control in Japan, combined with the prevailing respect for authority, has led to a more harmonious relationship between civilians and the police than in the U.S. It's something of a chicken-egg problem: The police, in choosing to use sub-lethal force on people, generate less widespread fear among the public that they'll be shot. In turn, people feel less of a need to arm themselves. See in context
Makes sense.

Posted in: Bye for now, Goku! 'Dragon Ball Super' to make way for new 'Gegege no Kitaro' anime See in context
I watch DB Super on Crunchyroll and the English dub on TV. Now that the show's ending, it's time for me to binge on CR right till April.
BTW, Goku's seiyu (Nozawa Masako) wil be the new voice of Medama Oyaji in the new Kitaro series, as well as Piccolo's seiyu (Furukawa Toshio) as Nezumi Otoko!

Posted in: 9-year-old girl dies after pileup caused by senior driver See in context
Drivers Mrs. Shigemori's age just need to give up driving--voluntarily, not imprisonment. Not all elderly drivers are dangerous, they need help!
Still, my condolences to Yui Fujiwara's family and my prayers for her surviving schoolmates and their families.

Posted in: Aichi man arrested for abducting 14-year-old Fukui girl See in context
Japanese govt should ban magazines with 15 year old girls in bikinis from convenience stores for a start.
The konbinis are banning the skin mags next month in Tokyo, remember?
But that won't be enough to stop these creeps!

If the dad hadn't beat up his daughter, wife and other kids in the first place, she wouldn't have knifed him!
He was in the wrong, not her!
The police should've arrested him!

Children have a right to be children! They have a right to live happily, play happily and be happy!
If Mr. Otake has a problem with that, he had two mature choices to make:
Learn to live with the laughter of the kids or he and Mrs. Otake could pack up and move house!
He made a poor decision brandishing a knife in the preschool!

My thoughts and prayers to the 43-yr.-old woman and her daughter, but also my sympathy for the woman who attacked them. The latter woman needs help since she is mentally ill, not imprisonment.
