Great look! We're giving the younger generation something great to aspire to!....... I'm being sarcastic!

This is best you an do on the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing!! Huh!!!!!!!!

Closing the gate after the horse has bolted!

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

World: "Um, what did you think?"

Wow, it's only, how many weeks? We haven't heard any news updates yet! I guess it's only people.

Anti-science is one thing, profiteering is another thing!!

Um......You got to be kidding me???

Strange, but I see some integrity and authenticity in her! I might have a fever.

Oh! They apologised! Well that just makes it OK, No!

This is the best news!!! And for those people who have been savagely vilifying the family on social media for the last 18 days? Wow, just wow!!!!

This was a devastating tragedy for those affected! The really sad thing is that we have systems that allow people to operate in a reckless, thoughtless manner and then to reorganise their companies to avoid accountability.

The problem, at least in my tiny Japanese town, is dumb lights! No co-ordinated flow across an urban area according to morning or afternoon flow requirements! .......Sorry, I know I've lost you in Japan.

Yes, and the vote for one of these women is a vote for the extreme right. That narrows the choice down a bit. They will just vote for a man!

BTW, "the hawkish stance on security" is BS bravado!!!!

Sanae Takaichi

"An ultra-conservative former internal affairs minister, Takaichi, 60, shares Abe's revisionist views on Japan's wartime atrocities and hawkish stance on security."

OK, sounds like a fair choice.......Oh wait!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I have been checking the JMA earlier today but now non-sensical responses. It's a worry when the JMA site goes down!!!

Brian, we just wondered what preparation the kids were given before being whisked through the museum!

My wife and I visited the Peace Museum in Nagasaki. We had just begun looking at the exhibits when two large bus loads of high-school students arrived. We were packed in with the students like sardines! Just as we thought that it was going to be difficult to view the exhibits the students were gone! They were there for 5-10 mins at a stretch. Mrs Agent translated some of the things she over-heard the students saying, things like "This didn't really happen, right?" and "What they are showing us here is not real, right?"

In defence of the Nagoya Mayor, you cant question the Japanese commitment to the Olympic cause. Just look at the opening ceremonies! London 2012 cant hold a candle to Tokyo 2020/2021.........oh wait!!

When people, all over the world, and in the future, think of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, they will think of a failed culture! But not just in Japan ....................but throughout the whole modern world!!!!

“There is no darkness but ignorance.” William Shakespeare

It's alarming that Prime Minister Suga does not see the destructiveness, to Japan, of saying this!

But we're still going to have the Olympics next year, right? Right??

I think this decision is a big mistake for Prime minister Suga.

This deal smells of companies investing in themselves (a rose by another name) to hide profits or liquid assets.

Yeah! Go to China, get arrested.

I think the photo says 'we're not serious' and 'this is a joke'!

This story is beyond non-sensical! Did it really happen?

This is the fall of us!

We have a leader!!!..... I thought we were an automatous collective!!!???
