Posted in: China's Xi promises $50 billion for Africa over next three years See in context
China helps in nation building through financial aids (just like what Japan used to do)... On the other hand, the west, headed by the US, will destroy any government that gets in their way (all in the name of freedom and capitalism)...

Posted in: Crested ibises to be released in Japan's quake-hit Noto area See in context
I don't see the connection between earthquake restoration that happened on Jan 1 2024, and the release of crested ibises in 2026, with that whooping amount of budget?

Posted in: Should permanent foreign residents in Japan have the right to vote? See in context
Maybe vote in the local (city or municipal) level. It would make a some impact on how the "blind" politicians treat foreign residents in their respective hometowns.

Is that even an "option"? It should be basic rights of children! Only in Japan that this becomes an option.

Posted in: Ex-main opposition CDPJ chief Edano eyes comeback in leadership race See in context
Sometimes I feel that opposition parties in Japan are quasi employees of LDP in order to appear that there's an opposition. They really do not have substantial impact. Despite the controversies that LDP has been facing, it remains as the main party in Japan till eternity.

Posted in: Communication plays a crucial role in preventing dementia, but some elderly individuals don't have people to talk to. See in context
That's because Japanese culture is built with a culture that only communicates what the others want to hear. They really do not try to communicate to others. So in the end, no communication skill is developed by the vast majority of the population. I don't think it's because there is no one to to talk to. They just do not know how to communicate.

Posted in: Late French actor Alain Delon was like a 'god' in Japan See in context
I am not surprised. 1970s and 1980s or even 1990s and remnants of early 2000s would worship anyone who was blonde and blue-eyed.

Posted in: The labor ministry is expected to soon require unlisted companies, in addition to those that are already listed, to disclose the ratio of women employed in managerial positions. Is this a good idea? See in context
I think we need the quantitative data in order to force companies to increase managerial positions for women regardless of qualification and willingness to do the job. It's all about the numbers, right?

Posted in: As a relief and support measure for foreigners who can’t pass the exam during their stay, it would be good to consider extending the period of stay by one year as an exception for those who wish to take the exam again. See in context
But that exam is designed in order for foreigners (to fail) not to stay longer, so in the process, a new breed of replenishment from Indonesia and Philippines will come in in order to supply the manpower needed for elderly care facilities.
