Posted in: Johnny's agency sets up panel to compensate sexual assault victims See in context
The mere fact that this company is still existing only signifies that the sufferings of the victims who are now living a sad life enamored by sexual trauma means NOTHING to the Japanese justice system.

He just said that for the sake of it. If something bad happens, like the one in Seoul, or the tragic hanabi taikai two decades ago in Tokyo, at least he can tell in the next press conference that "We.., I told you so..." and he's safe.

Posted in: Japan's births fall 3.6% to 370,000 in Jan-June See in context
Having a baby in materialistic Japan is considered a burden, compared to a less popular Christian belief system where babies are considered as blessings. I know, because I have met many Christian Japanese couples who have many kids but are far more sufficient and content with their lives compared with others.

Posted in: In terms of economic clout, Japan can’t beat China, so it’s important for Japan to show its partners that it’s willing to get involved on a long-term basis. See in context
Japan could have taken advantage of the Philippines when they had the chance but it's now almost China or Korea-owned. Japan could have managed to control the Pacific side with Taiwan in the equation, but lo and behold, they had chosen Thailand and Malaysia to infuse their investments.
