Haha, no hurt feelings runner3, just wanted to put some facts out there. It's true it was a long time ago, like them or not, in 1976-78 they were one of the biggest bands around. It's a fact.

Hardly one of the biggest bands in the world.

LOL. Tell me you don't know anything about RocknRoll without telling me you don't know anything about RocknRoll. They were huge and lauded by all the Metal mags back in the day. I loved them as a kid growing up in Australia.

They simply were one of the Biggest bands in the world, and sold out Budokan 5 times, compared to the Beatles 4.

Hmmm.....I guess if you've ever taken an opportunity to sleep with someone famous in your youth; you may as well try and get a payday from it.

This cynicism comes purely from the timing of the claim.

As others have noted above:

isn’t this just punishing the victims, and sweeping the story under the rug?

...and faces heavy asset removal and/or jail time right? Righ!??

Talk about claims with no proof.

Hogwash.

I find this claim to be unproveable

Brought to you from the University of 'Trust me bro,'

TOKYO

The Unification Church’s Japanese branch announced plans Tuesday to set aside a fund up to 10 billion yen to cover possible compensation for those seeking damages they say were caused by the group’s manipulative fundraising tactics.

So to atone for fundraising tactics, they are going to raise more funds. LOL. Shut them down, shut them up. The politicians will survive without a few bribes.

The guys obviously all agreed this was O.K. But I don't like it. the dead are gone. let them be gone. Put out a new song with your remaining band sure...but don't dig up a corpse to make it dance. Just because we can, doesn't mean we should. Just my opinion.

Just going from this article Both appear guilty as charged.

Award her the 12 million, minus the 6 that he is asking, then have her return 5 for the abuse of flyer points.

She gets a total of a cool 1 million to pay her legal fees and they all walk away and get on with their lives.

The package will likely add to Japan's debt mountain, which stood at 261 percent of gross domestic product in 2022, one of the world's highest.

So we’re being billed for the stimulus. If you want to give us money, cut something to pay for it!

Don't say it loudly or people will freak out...massive, useless military budgets.

It would be hilarious if no one went, and the mob just descended on the Tokyo station grounds instead.

Yeah. put boxes on the help desk at city halls, whoever wants them, can grab them,,,they've already been paid for.

I guess they were just too lazy to organize an event in that big space with the open air stage, where they hold Earth day etc.

food stalls from local shops, afequate space…could even be gated to control numbers and ticketed to make a buck.

oh well.

Solocals who need to work those days can just suck a lemon.

Visit Japan! But we prefer if you just leave an envelope of money at the airport. We don’t really want you running around disturbing the ‘wa’.

The people in my building always have out packages left outside our doors. Points reward sounds good to me!

But certainly it comes down to what neighborhood you live in as to whether this is viable or not.

Hmm….you’d need to down a light meal, knock off a bottle of wine, plus a few beers to chase it all down…in an hour you could probably break even.

I bet the staff get angry when you line up for sixth beer though.

Most of the crowding and discomfort is caused by the bazillion Police all screaming in your ear with megaphones as you just want to get to the station.

why not actually ‘organize’ a street party and cut the cops by about 80%

Well…if the incentive to donate gets reduced, guess what happens to our donations?

About $400 for the cheapest ticket on the floor in December...having big think about just skipping out to Vegas

It Looks fantastic. Bram did a great job on the drums, but you can really here it's not Larry there. I think the second run of shows will the ones to be at, once the band and visual artists have tweaked what they're doing.

Another superb drive from Max. Great to see Mclaren having a bit of a revival.

The Perez lap to server his penalty was a good move by the team; at least he gets to start fresh at the next race without a penalty hanging over him....he really needs any kind of 'lift' he can get.

It is a real trudge on that train isn't it! Hahaha!

buuutt...the track is superb and we've always had a great time once we're there. The trick is to get drunk enough so the train back into the city is just a blur.

Great to Vettel moving ahead with his positive environmentalism!

Obviously changing the name is not sufficient.

Any and all management who knew or covered up the abuse must be removed.

It's no easy task, there must be a way the contracts can be unbound so the victims (the talent) can contract with clean agencies (if any exist).

Or...new ownership is another viable option?

''The ward has set aside 512 million yen for the project in its supplementary budget for this fiscal year.''

Is this 'City Tax' funds they've been hoarding? I think residents wouldn't be too thrilled about it.

‘MPass, which costs $11 a month -- substantially less than the $70 price to buy the base version outright’’

-for the first 7 months. Hahaha!!

Oh everyone needs to just calm down. We'll know if they (Tepco and J-Gov) were pranking us all in...what...5 to 10 years. Kishida ate the fish (before contamination) So I don't what everyone is worried about, it's a giant leap from that poor dude with shaking hands who drank a cup of Chernobyl reactor water long ago.

I like the idea, good and common sense.

I don’t like the ‘hefty extra charge’ bit.

Doritos and Pizza Hut Super Supreme Pan Pizza.

Oh TEPCO says that, well then...Ok no need to check further.

It's not like they said there were no Meltdowns at all.

Or negleted advice from experts on the position of generators.

I'm so relieved!

I didn't know hackers still operated with Windows XP and x-cell!
