The yakuza are not all bad...
The government is even further from all good
I don't know what planet you've been living on but that's the silliest comment I've read today. The Yakuza organizations have too much power over Japan, which is why they can still stay relevant today. Most of the big cities are owned by the Yakuza. They also are hired to protect big businesses such as TV networks and real estate. Many politicians are Yakuza members themselves. Cops fear to intervene with Yakuza crime. What does that remind you of? They also recruit anyone who want in so there are countless numbers of them. You can easily find the young violent assholes as who you would call a "チンピラ" on the beach just acting like douchebags showing off their tattoos. They're garbage and any country would've gotten rid of such organization if they could but it's too late now.

Waaaah South Korea tries so hard to find another reason to get mad with Japan. Nothing new. Yes, the flag was used during horrible times in human history, but it also represents other things to other people and nations. The irony of showing so much grudge towards a country that they are heavily influenced by culturally. Grow up South, you're not the North.

Posted in: Airport screener mistakenly returns knife after security check See in context
Nothing to brag about, but I brought numerous things through Japanese airport security that was prohibited, and didn't get caught, but luckily I am not a dangerous person, and hurting anyone else is the last thing I want to do. But sometimes I get scared when I think about if this was a sociopath... Not only Japan security though..

Posted in: Famed Tokyo sushi restaurant Jiro dropped from Michelin gourmet guide See in context
That is good for the tourists. As a Japanese who lives and has lived here in Japan for most of my life, there are countless numbers of sushi places that have much greater value than Jiro. If you are going to go through so much money and time to experience Jiro, just fly to Otaru, Hokkaido, where you can eat the freshest and highest quality of fish for a much cheaper price. I just came back from Otaru and had the greatest sushi I've ever had. Don't go to Jiro, it's not worth it. No Japanese locals go there, let that be a lesson.

The Oyakodon tastes so good! Also, I would like to mention that the dancing squid bowl is just a name coming from a specific shop, and you can't really find that bowl anywhere else. The squid is dead BTW, don't freak out.

So they take illegal actions and are upset that they're caught? They think they're own country will feel sympathetic for them that they would beg to have them back? Silly Disney princesses. Then now they are killing themselves and want to blame the country they escaped to, illegally? Puppets.
