Posted in: Foreign-born Miss Japan sparks debate on what it means to be Japanese See in context

Nationality aside, she looks anorexic and those lips like they've been pumped up with filler.

@rcch I think living in Japan and not knowing Japanese numbers is even more ridiculous!

I’ve had to face barriers that often prevent me from being accepted as Japanese,

Maybe because you only became Japanese last year!

I noticed they added her mother married a Japanese man. First time I've heard that part. You would have thought she would have got citizenship quicker if her stepfather was Japanese!

Just last night, the new Miss Japan 2024 was crowned... and she is a full-blooded Ukrainian (both parents). But she is a Japanese citizen (she acquired Japanese nationality in 2022, after spending much of her life in Japan).

I smell a hidden agenda! What gave her the one up over the other Japanese ladies? Maybe her Ukrainian language skills LoL! Because it certainly wasn't her looks.

 mountainous, rural area where the earthquake struck.

@Marc Lowe It is an unpopulated area! Nothing to do with superior Chinese construction, I can assure you!

The society has close ties with the imperial family, with empresses serving as honorary presidents=nepotism

I'd vote for them in a heartbeat and always tell my wife to do so whenever they run a candidate.

@Aly Rustom Shouldn't your wife be making her own decisions when it comes to voting?

Posted in: Japanese passport back among world's most powerful: survey See in context

Chico3 Lots of videos on YouTube about this matter. It seems they are being suspected of entering the U.S. to work illegally, possibly as prostitutes. People have been held in detention, questioned, immigration going through their phones etc.

So now that he has discovered he suffers from a rare medical condition that hits when ascending mountains, let's hope he will refrain from making anymore high-altitude trips!

In my opinion it was just by luck that everyone got off! I wonder why none of the 'JAL heroes' have been named? Who was the Captain? Why so seccretive?

Posted in: Popular Japanese singer Aki Yashiro dies at 73 See in context

I didn’t even know who this old sort was

@falseflagsteve What kind of disrespectful tone is that for someone who just died of a terrible disease! Yashiro Aki is very famous, and if you haven't heard of her, you must really be living in some kind of weird gaijin bubble!

So sad! A beautiful lady inside and out! Rest in Peace Aki chan!

Posted in: Kamikawa pledges $37 mil aid for Ukraine via NATO See in context

She's not actually giving money to Ukraine. She's giving equipment worth $37 000 000! So, the money is going from the Japanese government into Japanese manufacturer's pockets.

Hopefully he is not able to weasel his way out of a harsh punishment for a brutal crime against a 'foreigner'' like Sagawa Issei did by a judgement of mental incompetence.

Sagawa's crime was committed in France, and it was a French judge who found him legally insane. He was put in a French mental institution. He was then deported back to Japan where Japanese psychiatrists declared him sane but a sexual pervert. Japanese authorities had no legal grounds to detain him, and he was released.

Posted in: Patients regain much weight after stopping new obesity drug: study See in context

Nausea, diarrhea, constipation and vomiting-it's poison that's why your body is rejecting it!

This drug is just going to lead to yo-yo dieting which can often be worse than carrying the extra weight!

That is the same result from many hypocaloric diets as well, and can be solved with specialized regiments directed precisely to avoid it.

You mean special regimens, right?
