Pokus Hokus comments

Like the yamanote line. Always in a circle

Eeny , meeny, miny, mil

whos the oldest fossil

And the revolving door starts spinning again. Old geezer out, old geezer in

It will be another old crusty dinosaur for sure

Trends never really last long in japan. Remember the boba craze from 2018 ? Just one year layer most of the shops had closed down again.

It already has a mascot

happy birthday

I feel sorry for him. Caught in a golden cage. Unable to live the life of a normal 17 year old teenager.

Any precedent to suggest this is true, or are you just hating on Japan in a general non-specific manner?

I don’t hate on it

but it is no secret mental illness/ mental health care is still stigmatised in japan. He might not get the help he needs.

That's a trauma for live.

The boy won't overcome it without professional help.

Unfortunately this is japan. He will be told to suck it up and go on with his life.

Nagasaki peace park

Overcrowded with noisy, rowdy chinese tourists ( one kid peed into the fountain)

As a person who lived through all the horrible 2000s fashion trends , I’m glad I don’t have to do it again ;)

Not atoning for sins/ only pretending to

Entry requirement to become a member of the LDP or any other political party

If I wanted to hear screaming kids I'd eat at home.

Don’t worry. In the coming years less and less babies will be born and you can slurp your soup in peaceful silence

 “We should be thinking more about how children can freely enjoy baseball.”

Japanese kids are not allowed to have fun. They are drilled from early age on to become loyal and dutifull company drones lol

This picture represents the Japanese government in a whole. Old and dusty.

We will be closely watching the figures to determine if the natural decline is temporary.

“We will hold many useless meetings to determine the cause”

I once had a meeting with one of his female recruiters. I was asked if I wanted to see a beautiful temple. Finally after half an hour I was able to shake her off ( or so I thought ) but the lady kept on following me until I escaped into the catacombs of ikebukuro station.

R&B music has always been explicit. But back then it was more hidden between the lines and less obvious.

Soul music was not only entertaining,but it was a rhythm to black liberation,that gave Black courage to throw off their shackles of oppression,

I agree. For black people music has always played an important role. It was a way to pass hidden information ( field hollers, work songs ) and encourage each other to keep on fighting for freedom.

I’ve seen the video and it’s obvious the guy has some form of mental illness. Which of course does not excuse his behavior.

Has he ever spend time with a baby ? It’s hard to get anything done if you have to care for a newborn. You can count yourself lucky if you get more than a few hours of sleep.

And again it shows how out of touch Kishida is with reality.

Most people who go on child care leave do it to spend time with their kid and not to acquire an additional degree.

The government is so completely out of touch with people

Just replace everyone over 60. The cabinet needs young people instead of drowsy showa ojajis

A well deserved win ! As a german I am not surprised at all. Our team plays unmotivated, sluggish soccer. No wonder we call them „ Gurkentruppe“

let the old jiji shuffle begin. It’s like the Yamanote line. Always going in a circle.

In 2021 and 2022 Mandarake was found to have sold six books containing “obscene material,” the sale of which is prohibited by law,

Prohibited by law but still you can find and buy porn magazines in conbinis and bookstores.

In my case , Doujinshi , BL manga and anime merchandise

It seems the young generation is ready to change things. If only the same would apply to the government.

For me , all religions are some sort of cult. I was baptised against my will when I was 8 years old.

My mother converted to Islam for her second husband. After a few weeks she realised what a mistake that was.

The new showa era cabinet looks promising.
