TokyoLiving predictably at it again. Judgement clouded by his open hatred for the USA and its people. These posts along with the other ones deleted earlier should be removed by the moderators.

Normally a news website would accompany a story like this with some telephone numbers for a victims or consultation helpline and relevant assistance.

Let's not forget the vice minister's feelings regarding the alphabet people,

This would be a very fitting award for Mr Kunieda. Let's make it happen.

Let's just say visitors.

"The selection may not be as extensive as it is in the U.S., but in Japan, pretty much every convenience store stocks chewing gum".

Very important to note.

Shotaro-kun should have hit up ex corrupt governor of Tokyo Matsuzoe for shopping tips in Europe.

Remember the pajama scandal guys?

Hilarious photo. The lone woman takes down the shooter while the dudes huddle, some with their hands on their heads. Too funny..

Add me to the yes vote. Some people have dreadful breath here in Japan.

“Japanese people are also conscious about not opening their mouths very wide when they laugh, because they think it’s impolite. So there’s less pressure to take care of your breath, and so attitudes about oral hygiene can become lax.”

What a ridiculous statement.

Good work JT.

Continue to expose and report on this.

Yes, Tokyo is one gigantic concrete slab.

The scenes at the airport were unbelievable.

That's a dreadful view of Tokyo.

Pointless story.

In my neighborhood (Osaka suburbs) the locals are having a really hard time trying to get staff. Some businesses have signs up permanently now looking for staff and supermarkets and convenience stores are noticeably undermanned even on weekends. I think I mentioned before the local beef bowl restaurant closes some overnight hours as they have no staff despite being advertised as a 24 hour business. They had a message on their stating this.

I didn't bother reading this story.

Poor little guys..

BTW, Awaji Island Monkey Center has a great live stream for those who enjoy monkey watching.

"With the birth of Tokyo Node, Toranomon Hills will evolve into a "communication hub" that attracts highly experienced and influential people from throughout the world for business creation and innovation that will be shared globally."

This is just fluff.

@Yubaru on point.

I would advocate scrapping 5 yen and 1 yen coins and just round prices up to the nearest 10 yen.

Let it also be noted this numbskull locked down the entirety of NZ for 72 hours for one covid case in Auckland at one point.

Old, empty, dilapidated houses are scattered throughout my neighborhood in east Osaka. And there are two three empty apartment/danchi type buildings that I know of in addition to the dozens of vacant apartments for rent.

Sunny but windy here in East Osaka at 4.30pm

I first heard this in 1991.

Absolutely heinous and callous. Some truly awful crimes being committed recently.

Very nice indeed.

I hope Shingo gets the recognition he so deserves in the J media this week. Congratulations on a stellar tennis career Shingo-san!

"accused of beating his wife with his fists repeatedly between Jan 16 and the morning of Jan 18"

This savage needs to be put down.

RIP Mrs Sakai.

Very sorry to hear that @dan It's so important to talk, listen and ask "are you ok?"

I know I've said this before but when these numbers get posted annually but the suicide number is probably higher when you figure in the number of people who just "go missing" every year. A police chief once told me about this.

"A further recovery in the number of foreign arrivals will likely depend on the return of visitors from mainland China"

Likely? I would say almost completely.
