Ramzel comments

So 240 kilograms of rice is worth only 90.000 yen? So why does a 10 kg bag cost almost 8000 nowadays?

Wholesale price VS retail price.

If you’re willing to buy at that volume and direct from the source everything is cheaper.

Could we add running red lights to be enforced?

as a driver that would be appreciated.

Road safety education should me mandatory.

these scooters, as well as many bicycles, just zoom in and out of traffic, from side walk to street, most of the time without looking or indication.

A lot of the comments here are based on traditional Japan. The youth’s attitude here has been changing and the turn over rate for new graduates (not just because of marriage) has changed significantly in the last decade.

around 30% of those in the picture will be with other companies in 3 years.

Domino’s claims it was after hours and the dough was not used.

how do they know that?

in my eyes they are trying to do damage control by claiming that.

TSMC is a majority stakeholder of JASM, hence they are the core decision maker for the business.

For tourism and exporting companies, yes. For everything else as well as cost of living, no. So no.

Didn’t intend to kill - yet carries a sword in a bag with him. Makes sense.

It was 201 yen this morning in Nishi Azabu…

They want people to spend their yen abroad? Keep it in the Japanese economy at this stage. Plus at this moment you would get the least return overseas due to the FX rate.

Hell of a work ethic!

Xbox tried to launch here for the 1st 3 consoles. Nobody bought them.

the US automotive industry made the same claim here that Japan is anticompetitive, but somehow the German manufacturers sell like hotcakes in Japan. Strange.

Not sure about the sedan driver, but they should really put a centerline in there so that people understand who has the right of way.

Schools, infrastructure and jobs. Those are needed first. The average salary in Japan is about 5M and that figure is inflated by Tokyo salaries.

If you move out of Tokyo, your salary will most likely go down.

Education is best in Tokyo so the kids moving out of Tokyo will have less education and future opportunities

why would one move out of Tokyo for those prospects?

What they don’t get is that people in Japan don’t relocate locally away from their settled home.

many company outside of Tokyo or nearby areas has extreme difficulties.

japanese companies with branch offices send their people there, but their families remain in their settled area, splitting the family.

hence they can incentivize companies to move outside of Tokyo all they want, but those companies will not find willing employees to work there.

@Laguna,

unfortunately your math is way off.

1MJPY is 100 bills

10MJPY is 1000 bills

54MJPY is 5400 bills

you can fit that into a large shoulder bag.

In the summer if you park your car in direct Sun light it’ll take no time to heat it to deadly levels. I parked outside like that for an hour the other day, everything inside was baking to the point that I just turned it on got back out and waited for the AC to cool it off.

i had the foresight to remove my family from the car after parking the car though.

Actually 150M yen wouldn’t fit into a backpack. An oversized duffel bag perhaps. It’s also quite heavy.

Seeing as there are dozens of witnesses, video evidence that the entire nation has seen and he confessed, what’s the hold up?

What a moron! That’s a fortune in batteries and horrible for the environment. Who uses phone charger that has disposable batteries?

you can get a great rechargeable phone charger for like 3000 yen.

In most parts of the US, public transport is terrible, hence people need a car. Not everywhere is like Tokyo.

I wore the mask for over 2 years and caught corona regardless. Now it’s time to drop them outside, especially in this heat.

Covid is still a thing?

i used to be very concerned about it until I caught it in the peak. Didn’t even notice I had it.

Spot on antifun.

they should calculate the lost wages of having been able to practice and pay that out to them in damages.

That explains the massive police presence near Akasaka yesterday. I guess they’re practicing already.

That’s a crime, plain and simple.

for 43MJPY I wouldn’t want to be on a wanted list. For $43M, maybe.

Wouldn’t millions of fans owning a football club also be a consortium?

besides the club is seized from Roman - he has no decision in the matter.

The reason the vaccination rates are so low in HK is right there in the article.

they have very strict quarantines and up until now had barely any cases. Hence people saw vaccines as useless, until now.

That is very disturbing

Whilst they are insignificant numbers, they are on the rise. Let’s see…
