Japan vowed to contribute $10 million to a new international fund to support developing nations incurring loss and damage caused by climate change.

another drop in the well for Japan I guess.

everyone gets millions!!!!

except the Japanese people.

btw, love the picture of people walking out while Kishida is talking.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told Israeli President Isaac Herzog Friday that he hopes tensions in Gaza would ease as soon as possible

well, that’ll change things for sure then……

maybe he should go to NK and tell Kim, I hope all the tensions there would ease as well?

maybe Kishida will end all world wars…..

what a waste of time and money.

"I would like to demonstrate Japan's determination to take a leading role in Asia" to realize carbon neutrality, Kishida told reporters at his office before leaving Tokyo for Dubai.

How?

By taking an endless amount of unnecessary flights around the world?

Kishida has expressed eagerness to encourage COP28 participants to make more efforts to accomplish the goals outlined in the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement.

Maybe he should encourage his LDP cronies to make more efforts and stop creating scandals and embezzling money, instead?

Advance sales of admission tickets for the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka began Thursday,

>  sales target of 23 million tickets for the event

> The organizer hopes that 14 million tickets, or about 60 percent of the sales target, will be sold in advance.

> an adult one-day ticket purchased during the event priced at 7,500 yen.

> Multiple-entry season and summer passes for adults are also available priced at 30,000 yen and 12,000 yen, respectively.

> "lack of efficient communication with the host."

lol

I love comedy in the morning.

They should make a website or app about the running numbers on how many actual tickets are being sold.

That would entertain us for the next 500 days.

I can imagine the people buying tickets now.

"Should we drop all of this money on tickets father? I mean the event is 500 days away, and they have shown NOTHING completed or even worth going for yet.

SURE, mother! Why the heck not!?!? We'll buy ten tickets please."

Japan university to disband scandal-hit American football club

oh no.

nice! I got a cookie in my lunch box!

And there it is.

He just got called out for blatant miscalculated funds, and off he goes.

Almost forgot she existed. Where has she been hiding?

Not the WNBA.

What a money pit. Good job, Japan.

Hiding 9000 yen of groceries in his coat, and he thought no one would notice……..work of a genius.

gotta be one of Kishida’s boys.

The hell was he stealing anyway? Pocky and Katsu bentos only add up to about 600 yen.

What did he have? Fugu sashimi and a 69 year old bottle of wine as well?

The camera person had one job to do……horrible capture.

I dug the dude in suspenders swinging the “man catcher,” smashing the little bikes.

That made my day for sure.

Kishida said in response, "I would like to think about concrete responses after carefully considering the circumstances surrounding the retraction" of the governor's remarks.

translation: “you got me dude, you got me. (Under his breath) Damn that was a good one……..psst, Tanaka, get me the hell out of here. book me on a 21 day “peace tour” to anywhere. You know the drill.”

I gotta admit, as much as Kishida is hated, he’s got tremendous balls to show his face anywhere in public, thinking everything is all G.

He's just asking for disaster to happen.

has been in place since 1993

only 30 years? that's fresh. usually it takes 50 years to make any changes.

individuals with annual income of 4.5 million yen or less

i wonder what the total population of Japan falls into that category.

Male or female

The picture and the title make this whole thing feel like that running gag from Austin Powers............

JOHNSON!

Sounds like a winner.

someone get this fool a job.

spit shining shoes, preferably.

Morons have a lot of time to waste, apparently.

● Increasing from 5,500 yen to 7,500 yen (36-percent increase): Hibiki Japanese Harmony

● Increasing from 5,000 yen to 6,000 yen (36-percent increase): Suntory World Whisky Ao

Lol. You might as well add in 1 or 2 more digits to those prices if you like.

Say good night to your whisky division there, suntory.

 “I guess I must have hit my wife if I’m at the police station.”

I guess…….moron

Kyushu danji

oh, the jokers with “male high pride?”

the “male high pride” thing is such a joke. I guess it’s a nicer way call someone an “a-hole.”

puts traditional Japanese daikon farmers in a pickle

I see what you did there

I guess the Japanese gov’t couldn’t find a way to get a cut on it?

otherwise, it would’ve been ignored like other things………

So, what they want? A cookie?

"Shocking.........."

Says, absolutely no one.

Hawaii may allow Japanese tourists to pass border checks from Japan

That's all fine and good, Hawaii can do whatever they want.

But as long as the Yen is trading at 148 - 152 to $1 USD, the Japanese tourists are not going to be showing up in droves.

Even if they do make it to Hawaii, there's nothing left for them to spend on frivolous shopping.

taxi ceo: hey we need more taxi’s. Too many tourists, not enough drivers or cars.

driver: what about using Uber or Lyft?

taxi ceo: we don’t get a cut fool, make them illegal. call them “dangerous.”

Driver: didn’t we just have three taxi drivers crash and mistake the gas pedal for the break pedal?

taxi ceo: shut up. Go ahead and distribute those paper maps, now.

"It is often said that if one group accounts for about 30 percent of the entire population, they are not a minority," said Hiromi Yokoyama

i’m definitely no math expert. But I’m pretty sure anything less than 50 percent, is the minority.

the couple has been troubled by slander, stalking and overheated media reporting.

the more you keep things hidden, the more people want to find out what you’re hiding.

the whole thing sounds like a publicity stunt, or just a scapegoat……but even if it’s sincere, just put everything out in the open from the start.

that way, maybe initially it would be a big deal to the “media”, but no one will care after a month.

Now imagine how many more tourists would be in Japan, if the tourism industry actually promoted OUTSIDE of Honshu.

Are there really many people visiting Kyushu or Hokkaido?

Yawn.

When’s his Antarctica and to the moon tour?
