Pokus Hokus comments

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.

Even if you drain the swamp and replace the dirty brew with fresh water it won’t take long until it becomes muddy again

This is a breeding ground for Legionellosis

I guess they are more used to see stabbing wounds and people who jumped from high buildings / in front of trains

politics in a nutshell

It seems the japanese politicians are especially prone to bribery.

Every attempt to develop your own personality will be nipped in the bud.

Office drones who blindly follow the rules are easier to control.

Make it as difficult as possible to come, that’s the big plan. Then nobody comes!

Exactly !

The whole thing is more illusion than reality. Like so many things in japan.

This might be a thing for first time visitors but not for someone who already has seen most of the tourist stuff.

They should make the tourists wear bells , ( like lepers) so locals will be able to flee in time .

There is no guarantee you will able to visit shops and restaurants. As soon as they find out you are a tourist you will be barred from entering.

“Sorry we are full“

Having a big sister around could be expected provide Prince Hisahito, who is in second line to the throne after his father, with psychological support

She has her own life and surely doesn’t want to play babysitter for her little brother.

And as long as Mako is living peacefully in Japan under her family's watchful eyes, she can devote herself to various duties with peace of mind."

I guess thats why she left japan in the first place.

I bet Katsurada has never operated a boat himself. If he was an experienced captain he knew how fast the weather can change.

We went on a tour to Gunkanjima and the weather changed within five minutes from sunny to heavy downpour and high waves.

A friend who lives in japan told me, the japanese people are quite happy about the tourist ban. They don’t want them to return. Especially in Kyoto.

Good luck !

The first day of becoming an overworked corporate slave

Lots of young women dream of marrying a salaryman in one of the trading houses, etc.

A husband who is chronically overworked and barely at home. Sounds like the marriage of dreams. But whatever floats your boat.

Well, I’m not surprised. Japanese Tv is rubbish. Food shows , people watching other people eat , talentless talentos and lots of ehhhhhh and oishiiiiiii

More and more are landmarks disappearing. Lumine EST in shinjuku will also be gone soon. As an anime fan I hope they don’t plan to tear down otome road. I have many fond memories of this place.

So nothing will change then.

„I will consider“ is the Japanese way to say I won’t do it

a culture of systemic bullying and public ridiculing"

bullying is so deeply ingrained into the japanese culture , it’s almost impossible to get rid off

Airplane!

certain

Is this a serious question?

It is. I asked because it would be interesting to know how a certainly fetish develops.

What is it about Japanese men and school uniforms ? Can somebody explain this to me. Where does this fetish come from ?

Officials are brainstorming possible solutions 

We all know how effective japanese brainstorming is

Only in japan

if you live in Osaka , you witness these train habits on a daily basis

Japanese TV is a waste of time.

Depends on the granny. Unfortunately not all grandmothers are loving and caring.

Great they’ll be able to escape this pressure cooker country and it’s stiff and rigid morals
