Posted in: Japan to revise official romanization rules for 1st time in 70 years See in context
As an english based foreigner in japan, most of the comments here is extremely self-serving. It makes little to no sense changing it, turning “fuji” into “huji” and the list goes on..
if english is really the main concern here, get rid of the bloody katakana..
i’m looking forward to the day our neighbours to north having a field day the moment japan started calling their national treasure “kimti”

They did what?
"..... pinned him down with a two-pronged weapon..."
Again something learned. They call it a weapon.
to the uninitiated, perhaps..
I’ve seen it in action a couple of times, being used on drunks throwing tantrums. The only weapons here are the ones using it

He should move up in weightclasses and actually fight real boxers... Do what Pacquiao did and not pick low hanging fruits

I agree.. Inoue is a very talented boxer, pretty evident from his power, accuracy and agility.
But I feel like most fights set here is so predictable, low hanging fruits type of set ups... Not to mention the over the top nicknames... He should move up weightclasses, do what Pacquiao did
