As much as I dislike the way this went, I think njca4 nailed it why so many did vote to leave:

We voted NO to the open-door immigration policy of the EU. Simple.

I don't live in Osaka, but my friend from Osaka uses せやな (same meaning as そうだな) every time I meet him.

Japan didn't drop a nuclear weapon on Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima are not nearly in the same category. Pearl harbor wasn't obliterated by a nuclear weapon and Obamas visit and speech were related to that- the abolishment of nuclear weapons (despite the irony of the US holding the largest storage of nuclear weapons in the world...).

In my office the aircon/heater is fixed at 26C year round. The old ladies complain it's cold year round too. I'd prefer it fixed at 22-23C year round and humidity around 60%. Those who are cold can always put a jacket or cardigan on.

Regarding office wear, just ditch the tie when it's hot. Short sleeve shirts make you skinny-armed guys look like highschool boys (unless you're going for that look?)... and wear an undershirt, especially in summer... nobody wants to see your nipples or hairy armpits!

It's not a bad sushi chain, but I prefer 梅丘寿司の美登利. Regarding the pronunciation of sushi in English and Japanese, it's pretty much identical. (Su)shi is su like in Susan. You people are overthinking this one I think!

@Cleo I couldn't agree more, and although I despise people who selfishly smoke next to other people, especially in restaurants, it's still their freedom to do so unfortunately.

GAP stores aren't being closed in Japan according to the article, just the Old Navy stores.

Sad news, but it seems the mother was entirely to blame for her decision to move out into traffic between parked cars.

Until salaries are increased, I don't really see how this is unexpected.

Nice job on the truck driver after being stabbed still managed to stop the idiot. The women may have died if it wasn't for his intervention!

If a person who enters the elevator attempts anything (rape, robbery, assault etc) you should slide your hand over all the floor buttons so it stops at each floor.

@BuBuBu That's exactly what I was thinking.

Yes. Regardless of his job, I think every tourist in Japan should visit.

I personally wouldn't have any issue sharing an onsen with tattooed Yakuza... the ones I've met never had any issues and were pleasant and even friendly to me.

Or you can hang up a wet towel for the same effect and save yourself 7,000yen...

This will be the biggest-grossing movie to date.

No uncanny valley yet. Spotted that before I even read the article title.

...led by Apple Watch?

@Strangerland.

Exactly my point. All the comments here are very one sided. Nobody knows what actually happened.

Who is to say the woman didn't fabricate some or all "facts" in this story.

I don't know about anyone else, but if I heard a woman screaming for her life, I'd be running in her direction to help not hiding away. It's basic instinct to defend those in difficulty, especially women. The repercussions and questions I would get from the police would be the last thing on my mind at that time. As dsanjo says above, call the police. Nothing bad will come if it and it's why they are there. Hope the killer can be found soon.

Sad news indeed. I'm surprised more incidents like this don't happen though... Japanese seem lost ion the clouds a lot of the time and seem to have terrible spacial awareness. This is something that should be on every driving test!

...agreement to develop natural resources...

Wait, what? Sticking a lump of metal in the ocean and drilling into the earth is classified as developing natural resources?

About damn time!

This is really unpleasant to read, but I'm glad he got a decent sentence for it.

The Japanese were the first to invent (synthesize) Methamphetamine.

Publicity stunt.

No. Why do we even need guns? They have zero purpose in the advancement of human society.

Both. Plus once after the gym. In winter I may skip the morning shower if I didn't sweat at night.
