Geez, must be a slow news day.

@Yubara

No need to be so pedantic. You can say someone is 'carrying the team' if they are generating most/ a lot of the offense. They don't necessarily have to win.

Why? Oh right, money grab.

Looks quite pleasant actually, on a cold day.

Nissan is dead to me.

Time for the waterworks

No thanks. Depp may be a nice guy but for some reason he thinks he's a great musician---nope.

I love Gyoza no Osho. Thank you, sir!

@starpunk: Don't forget Neilage.

Yes indeed. More like this please!

Edward Seidensticker has a great book with lots of stories like this.

Tokyo: from Edo to Showa

@drlucifer

Could you be any more of a downer? Sometimes people need something pleasurable to take their minds off their situations for a while.

As long as they can keep the nori dry!

Love the Stones but time to call it a day. No Charlie, no Stones.

"getting" ridiculous? We've long passed that stage, my friend.

RIP the great Dusty Hill.

A survey put out by a couple Japanese entities showed that Japan was the top destination...shock of all shocks! And almost half the people surveyed chose Japan? Who would have thought?! Wonder how much of your tax dollars they doled out for each response? Joke.

The picture is where they shot the cover of Floyd's Wish You Were Here.

Not too bad for a metropolis of 30 million.

Good nickname too, lol

"I cycled for over a year before COVID (now telework). It was one of the best decisions I made."

yeah, good call.

Yawn.

Only in these times is "The Chicks" considered an improvement over "Dixie Chicks".

@YellowHat

Weed is not a narcotic.

Pretty hard to find people with Covid when you do no testing. If they started mass testings like other countries I'm sure they'd find lots of potential vaccine guinea pigs.

With all the irrelevant (to the article) China-bashing notwithstanding, does anyone know the current rules for non-Japanese citizens re-entering? I heard somewhere it is now 14-days quarantine for gaijin who live here (or maybe it was have permanent res).

Good riddance to these pests.

So you arrive with your drinking partner, who you've been in close contact with since you met at a station, and then are forced to talk to between a plastic barrier. Common sense is going to take a serious beating during this opening up phase, and not just in Japan.

Yes, I think it is patently obvious he is not some good samaritan collecting cans to clean up the neighbourhood.

@zichi: Is that what they get? Y100 a bag? I've always wondered about that.

Best article on JT in a long time. All the best to this guy.

4 times over. Think about that.

Biggie gets in and Thin Lizzy still not in? Gimme a break. The RRHOF has been a joke for years.
