My thoughts again today with those who lost family, friends, colleagues, neighbors and pets.

I can't help but have a little chuckle whenever I see a male Japanese police officer.

Posted in: 4 Vietnamese arrested for thefts targeting Uniqlo shops in Japan See in context

Vietnamese people in Japan are fast getting a very bad reputation amongst the local populace and foreign residents alike. I hope these four are prosecuted fully, deported for all time and warnings given to any Vietnamese national who sets foot in this country.

Congratulations Oda-kun. Incredible how this young man has seemlessly taken the championship role from Japan's recently retired great Shingo Kunieda.

After winning at Wimbledon and the French Open last year this is a great start for 2024.

The frozen ice cream was great. It was so rock hard you could buy it from the cart leaving Kyoto and start eating it around Nagoya! Just exaggerating a little but you know what I mean..

Posted in: Japan's foreign worker population tops 2 million for first time See in context

I looked at some other reports today regarding this. By 2040 the native population working will be down around 20%.

Japan would need about 11 million additional workers just to maintain current standards and operations.

Posted in: Tokyo bus operator banks on foreign drivers as shortage looms See in context

I know of two Japanese bus drivers in Sydney, Australia. They have permanent residency, health insurance, holiday pay and superannuation for retirement. The average salary for a Sydney bus driver is ¥3500 an hour.

Posted in: Record 87% of Japanese 'do not feel friendly' toward China: survey See in context

I'm only surprised it's not higher. A Chinese high school cheering a re enactment of former PM Abe's assassination certainly wouldn't have helped.

Hope the JHS students (not kids JT) make new friends and get on okay with their studies. Good luck!

Posted in: Real estate rental agent arrested over sexual assault of client in car See in context

Last October?

So are we to assume this highly suspected sex fiend continued to work for three months before being arrested?

Ladies, NEVER go alone to a property inspection and if possible meet the agent at the location.

I'm certainly not PM Kishida's biggest fan but good to see him visit the area and speak with evacuees.

Japan's queen of enka RIP. Beautiful lady. Such a horrible illness she was inflicted with. Condolences to her family, friends and fans everywhere.

Very fortunate not to be incarcerated for an extended time. Need to make a stronger example of these evil illicit drug fiends.

Posted in: U.S. livestreamer fined for playing loud music in Osaka restaurant See in context

I thought he got booted in December? Pretty sure he was also fined ¥200000 and court costs and made a formal apology for trespassing on that Osaka construction site last year. Surely he will be asked to leave now. Gotta say Japan's got it fair share of homegrown dingbat youtubers too. Did you see those twats turning up in Ishikawa last weekend with adult goods. Reprehensible.

Posted in: Quake survivors, without power or water, seek news on rebuilding plans See in context

Obviously the demands are many and quite overwhelming at present however I think the first priority must be the recovery of the deceased and confirmation of people missing. My thoughts with the people of the region affected.

Posted in: Quake debris See in context

Hard to believe a week has already passed. All of the men and women participating in the rescue and relief effort have my (and our) deepest gratitude and praise. Let's hope those that passed away and have not been recovered are found promptly for the sake of their surviving relatives.

Posted in: Investigators probe conflicting reports on Tokyo airport crash See in context

I would like to express my sympathy and respect for the five coast guard crew members who perished in this accident. In Japan we and the media tend to move on quickly from serious incidents and accidents without learning much about those who may have died or have been injured. No names, no photos, no gofundme, no recognition..just move on.

Posted in: Naomi Osaka hits practice court to prepare for comeback at Brisbane International See in context

Great to see Naomi back. Actually she is a US based half Japanese and Haitian player.

Japanese women will be happy to see their idol back along with her adoring Japanese fans. Naomi history making lighting the Olympic cauldron at The Tokyo Olympics seems long ago now.

Need to insert the adverb "luckily" in this sentence from the article...

@Newpresident Google SBW and you'll see many news articles condemning him since October 7th.

On the rugby issue I fully agree with him and you.
