Japan needs to cancel the MySOS app and replace it with a simplified one modeled after the USA's ESTA procedures that have been used for at least two decades. It should be accepted at immigration as an app or on paper. https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/

A person cannot open the office window of a skyscraper.

23,000+ times 365 equals 8,395,000+. Tokyo's population 13.5 million+. Who are these newly infected people? Is the vaccine working? What number is sufficient to please the government?

It is not a matter of beauty, IT ALL ABOUT SAFETY. This aircraft was falling out of the sky in an east coast state before they were sent to Okinawa a few years ago. Safety was a concern that the civilian population had at that time. Perhaps the engineers can redesign it for more safety, but not for its looks.

If I remember my high school French/English grammar correctly, no mercy means means without mercy. If it is no, (notice the comma?) mercy, it means "we" do not want it. It is no, thank you as if you are offered natto.

Just an observation. I NY 89 octane is green. In CA green is diesel. What a surprise that would be for someone.

Vietnam now requires ONLY a valid passport to enter the country. Is there any possibility of Japan only requiring a valid passport and vaccination proof? The visa requirement is cumbersome and the directions are confusing.

Didn't Russia announce a vaccine before Pfizer and didn't Putin's daughter take the Russian vaccine? Maybe it was a false report on August 11, 2020? Maybe it works, no mention of her health condition.

A hidden message says the new gas pipeline could quickly be shut off to EU. Nobody is saying it will happen, just a possibility. The calendar predicts a cold winter. in the EU; -11 C by the end of January in some countries.

THANK YOU for using the word FIANCE rather than boyfriend. They are not junior high school students. GOOD LUCK to them in the future.

Why does the press refer to him as "boyfriend?" They are not minors. It should be fiance.

No passengers = waste of petrol;; waiting at a red light to make a right turn (legal in many countries) = waste of petrol; unnecessary travel. ALL = CLIMATE CHANGE.

Can it be recycled? Is it burned and polluting the air? We are supposed to worry about plastics in the oceans, then let this happen?

@theResident and @Ossan. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. He/she hopes to find an 'Expired' window at the proper license centres in Hamamatsu or Shizuoka since the DL was issued in Iwata. Both of you are the GREATEST.

A Japanese citizen married to an American and who has a green card wants to come to Japan to renew the Japanese driver's license by June 6, 2022. That person has a month before the birthday and a month after the birthday to renew it, but cannot take time off because that person is an RN in California. Is there any way to avoid retaking the expensive driving courses after the final expiration date? The Japanese government does not respond to any email requests. HELP!

So, is "nihongoga wakarimasen" incorrect? It is the sentence taught in California to people who want to visit Japan as soon as the government opens the borders. Help!

Can a Japanese citizen who lives and works on a "green card" as an RN in California and who is fully vaccinated with Moderna and trained receive this passport?

It is all about tourism money, but it really would have been better to ban the ships starting July 1. Most people don't understand the size of these ships, how big they appear, and the damage their wakes make even at slow speeds. There are plenty of big water taxis from various places on Lido that take tourist to Venice. August is the first step, maybe July and August next year.

Learning is from the top down, not the bottom up at a desk. Refusal to go to school is a symptom of much larger problems. Also, not everyone has to study the same subjects as parents and grandparents. Schools need to allow students to specialize in subjects in high school, grade 1.

It is reported in the USA that Pfizer vaccine can be stored in a common freezer. This change could save a lot of money and increase the number of vaccine shots.

This story is similar to the question about men's shirts and jackets in the world. Why is it left over right? It is so the man can draw the sword carried on the left with the right hand, and unbutton the French blouse (jacket) with the left hand to give more freedom of movement. When the reader goes to city hall in Japan, does he/she naturally move to the left or the right to enter the door? Where are the Enter and Exit signs? Most likely, Enter is on the left as the viewer approaches the doors. An esteemed expert who resides now in CA, USA, says the real reason for left or right is that Tokyoites were the military people so they stayed to left to protect their swords and let people pass on the their right. Osakans were merchants and carried the money bag on the right, so they moved to the right to protect it. They could afford to hire an escort. Thanks to Napoleon and his ego, most cultures drive on right now. Good luck to the Japanese government trying to get everyone, Japanese and foreigners, to stand on the same side.

Heads up if they fly, so to speak, like the Osprey. Use the trains and buses for safety.

Don't let this happen in Japan,

USA 1/12.21 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Moderna permission to increase the number of COVID-19 vaccine doses per vial from 10 to 14, the New York Times reports.

Heaven? I don't understand sending questions to heaven. Maybe it is a mistranslation. Isn't heaven looking south to a warmer place and not up?

Poor planning after Trump announced Warp Speed is not an excuse. Everyone knew the vaccine would eventually be developed. Planning should have started in January 2020. In the next election, vote for any body other than the present office holder. It needs to be done in every country so that nobody can just apologize and stay in office. Will it be done by the electorate? NO

Is there any possibility that a bi-lingual Japanese/English, Japanese citizen, Registered Nurse (RN), Bachelor's Degree, (RN-BSN) with eight years of nursing experience in Covid 19 and ICU training can work at the Olympics? NO, NO, NO. She doesn't have a license in Japan. This probably means an American and many other nationalities who speak English (Europeans) attending the Olympics will have to rely on translators. If there is a way for her to work at the Olympics, post the answer. Thank you.

There is supposed to be a population decline. The faculty should be thankful young people are even applying for entrance. Stop pretending to have a uniquely high quality education program. Be thankful that potential students even know the school exits. However, if the school is so small that it can afford to exclude potential students, then the unaccepted students can save schools that have low census.

The best solution is to double the military pay for anyone who is single, no significant other and has no dependent children. If the person wants to bring anyone to Japan, Korea, Germany, etc. to live with him/her, it is at his/her expense.

It is a typical suit in the USA courts. A Scout does not have to prove anything. Fill out the application, and the check is in the mail. It is a very sad situation in USA law.

Is this retroactive? We were married in 2012.
