LOL! Right, let's go after 'regular' people; not the criminals.

Expect a massive rise in prices from Tepco, there is no way their greedy board will allow the profit margins to affected by compensation payouts.

What are Hamas fighting for?

*The group is committed to armed resistance against Israel and the creation of an Islamic Palestinian state in Israel's place. HAMAS has been the de facto governing body in the Gaza Strip since 2007, when it ousted the Palestinian Authority from power.*

Hamas need to be removed by the Palestinian people in order for there to be peace.

LOL. Our Company gave us 0.

Looking forward to -1 next year now!

They are making it out of Balsawood?

That couldn't possibly cost more than a couple million dollars. I think the public needs to know exactly where every single Yen goes as it is spent, and receipts are required.

What?

So this couple are arguing...dude proceeds to procure a SWORD from his bag, probably wrapped or withing another protective wrapping as the arguement continues...unsheaths said weapon...waiters/staff others are just like 'nah, it's fine.'...and thrusts it into the victims chest.

I don't think you can get much more intentional than that.

I don’t think it’s good. I think it will do absolutely nothing to reduce accidents. The reckless people will still be reckless, because they lack common sense.

They may as well start fining people for general stupidity.

those applauding more police regulation and fines in our lives need to remember…the day is coming when they’ll want to regulate your internet access.

Just yesterday, I had a business man willfully walk right into me (not realizing I'm heavier than I look...LOL).

Cyclists are only part of the problem. Pedestrians stagger along the footpaths glued to their phones; Kamikaze Mothers on their chariots fly out of blind corners at full speed. Taxis are a constant threat.

EVERYONE needs to take a dose of caution, and common sense....hassling people with earphones won't help in the slightest.

I think it's high time we gave all world 'leaders' a pistol and a knife, and said 'Hey, you want to be the aggressor, go ahead and do it yourself; we'll even give you a tax payed helicopter ride to the location you want to be the 'aggressor.' wave them goodbye and wish them well.

We enjoy a big meal and then drink till we pass out.

Too much?

LOL. I work for a Japanese company...what was the question?

He's gonna fire everyone complicit, then resign without benefits, so Japan can try this whole democracy thing from scratch one more time?

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?
