Nobody cares what Japanese think as long they cut a check

Its a cheque.

almost always prevents me from reading them.

But you went ahead and punished yourself anyway.

Japanese boy band Psychic Fever

Who??!?

Soon to be known as a Sony-Honsan after the Nissan merger is complete.

Wouldn't it be a Son-Honsan-Afeel?

Tis the season of Gaman.

Self punishment of the masses for a few days of family fun.

Jacked up prices everywhere, gridlocked roads, rammed trains planes restaurants and supermarkets.

Being screeched at by megaphone every which way but loose.

Happy Holidays!

All we get are non stop shows with people eating and screaming oishii

What's funny about those shows where they're screeching oishii like a row of laughing clowns syt the fun fair is that they've probably eaten that dish 1000's of times before. So some of these yank shows at new year would be a welcome relief from the dross dished up on J Tv

As someone else usually says at this point - their country, their rules! GO GO DENMARK!

Too right. LOOOOOOL!

The fence will let the tourists sit and loiter. The exact opposite of their aim. Talk about kicking an own goal.

Yep bring back Datsun. The world famous 120Y bother. The 200 Bomb. Classic cars.

All cars look the same these days so it doesn't really matter. Bring back the choices and colours from the 70's & 80's in today's technology.

It's 36k round trip. You can easily find cheaper flights from anywhere in Japan. Why would anyone take a boat?

How narrow minded.

Some people are afraid to fly. Some people absolutely hate airports. Some people enjoy slow travel.

It's not all about you.

Whoop de doo!

Police said that messages on the four suspects' cell phones and the Line messaging app show that Takano was mentally and physically bullied for the last three years and that apparently he had reached breaking point.

Japanese society is sick.

This is a very culturally self-centered Western point of view. Japan's cultural norm has always been (until recently) that married men, especially those who've been for a long time, engaged in extra-marital liasons outside the home.

My Japanese parents and granparents generations' women used to resign themselves to the fact that their men drank and partied outside with mizushobai women. It didn't seem to bother them that much and they even seemed to enjoy getting them out of the house.

As long as their men didn't bring any of it home or have any real attached feelings to these women, it was fine. Home and family and "the outside" were two different spheres.

Not sure it's totally western. French women think there's something wrong with their husbands if they don't have a bit on the side. Out of sight out of mind is still in play for Japanese married people though.

Have you seen how worthless the Yen is? There's your answer. Taro's family dream trip to Hawai now costs at least that much more if not double than pre pandemic when the Yen was still viable.

yet got swarmed with downvotes?

You complain about getting downvotes, you get downvotes!

Nelson’s lawyer Rie Nishida said the ruling was unjust and that she planned to appeal. “We will fight until the end,” she said

Australians abroad seem to think that the rules don't apply to them.

The company will of course be rightfully sued. However the execs didn't actually plan, participate in, or even vicariously profit from the crimes.

Whom does the buck stop with then if not the captains of the ship?

95%+ of criminals are Japanese.

Yep, so be sure to use the comments to point this out when Kyodo xenophobically leaves out Japanese nationality in articles about Japanese criminals on this site.

I have always found that most of the guys whinging and complaining about lesbian sex would pay good money to watch.

Yep. Jealous that they're not invited.

Are they going to stick her ashes in the defence dock? How ludicrous.

No surprise Koreans rank better. From my experience they're not afraid to have a go and make mistakes. Then learn from them.

Japanese are too focused on making perfection the enemy of the good. That attitude extends beyond learning as others above have already pointed out.

If that was my classroom and it's not 1983, I wouldn't turn up either. The education system espouses rote learning, not knowledge, and dreary weekend clubs they don't want to be at.

Who can blame them.

Who cares!

It'll burn up on re entry

Not like happened in LA..

Their city, their celebration LOOOOOL!

Washoku is described by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization as being "associated with an essential spirit of respect for nature that is closely related to the sustainable use of natural resources."

Satire?

I'd enjoy just for the sake of it.

Pathetic. Can't have anything nice in this country. It just gets flattened and concreted.

Naomi Osaka's career over because of apathy. Fixed it

Not a peep on NHK about this, but frothing at the mouth about Otani was in overflow. Japan only cares about winners.
