Good to see a rapid response team letting people know about this heinous crime 10 months after its occurrence.

It should be e-sports, not esports. I had no idea what this headline meant. I thought it was some new verb I'd never heard before.

OMG no! Close the borders for 250 years! Long live Sakoku!!

Haaa Nemu

Sorry, misread it! Thought it said elementary school student too.

Being so much taller, how the hell does an adult manage to bend over and reach down to perform this action without being seen by more than "a store employee"? What exactly was happening here?

Lots of decrepit old oyajis: Billions of yen

Everyone else: Pissed off

Secret Service (protecting a two time prime minister): "there was a loud bang, no one knew what was going on!"

I doubt they were "secret service", whatever that actually means. He's an ex-prime minister, which sounds important, but so what? He's not important to the country anymore, he's just another LDP politician. You don't get 100s of armed bodyguards just because you're a politician.

A very professional resignation speech. All the very best for the future Boris

Lmao! A professional idiot's resignation speech.

He'd better have put it out on "Non-burnable" day.

the perp is likely a suicidal upper middleclass young White who, even with 'gun control', would have no difficulty finding a weapon. We'll see...

This is bizarre. I think all of the mass shooters I can think of would have had a miniscule chance of obtaining a gun if there had been an iota of gun control, because contrary to popular wrong right-wing belief, most mass shooters have not been poor, illiterate "criminals" who got their guns from some shady guy in the 'hood, but instead were pretty regular normal men with mental problems.

I literally registered an account just so I could respond to such a ridiculous comment

What would the non-literal version of this be?

A lot more than 600k I think.

And the service is abysmal..

Comparing their salaries to those on minimum wage is ludicrous. These workers would have been in their jobs for a good while on average, and be earning 35k p.a. say. Expecting them to be happy with a 2% pay rise when inflation is hitting 9% shows compete economic illiteracy, especially when meanwhile energy companies in the UK are reporting billions of pounds in record profits while fuel costs are hitting £2 a litre and the government merely raises the gas and electric "price cap" every few months rendering the entire "price cap" idea redundant.

".. will encourage casual, unprotected sex"

Lol, do these people actually live in Japan

how on earth will he deal with Long COVID. Lots of new research. Google it

Just like those thousands of people we know who have "long covid"....

Holy cow, how do people like this exist..

Omg no!!

How on earth will he deal with the mild temperature and vicious runny nose??

lol... what a moron.

lol

You just couldn't make it up...

Well it's not really incomprehensible is it, when you get disturbed psychos with easy access to guns. It's a wonder it doesn't happen more often.

Well done America, protecting your citizens again. But yeah, you gotta wurrie about them furriners.

Look at those crazy countries with stupidly restrictive coronavirus rules!

Oh wait....

Good to see Japan defending the little guy against the authorities again..

Can the last few people to give a toss please close the windows and turn the lights out as they leave. Thankyou.

Great to see "horny" become an official translation lol

Obviously due to lack of substantial evidence the poor girl was probably kidnapped.

Why commenters don't realize that ?

I don't know, I think it would indicate an animal attack more than an abduction surely. If a person had taken her they would have taken her shoes too.

Quick! Lockdown! Stay indoors! Never do anything ever again! I had Covid19 last week and barely survived the 37.9 degree fever, slightly detectable headache, and 2 throat clearances that I made.

Harry, looking forward to seeing how you would show me the way out :)

Security camera footage is often appalling. Much worse than commercially available products. Have you ever actually seen a photo of a suspect released by the police?

I have never seen a camera "inside" a Musashino line train, although I haven't been on that line in a few years.

What on earth do you mean "the security video had enough information to identify him"? Do you think we're living in Minority Report? Was his barcode stamped over his head?
