 a direct train service between JR Shin-Osaka Station and Kansai International Airport

But there already exists such a train! It's the Haruka limited express. How much time can this new proposed train shave off the existing journey time of 50 minutes? Will there be any other benefits besides a shorter travel time?

China is a pain in the world's ass.

It would be the first presidential bid for Koizumi

News flash - Japanese can't elect a president because the position doesn't exist! Nice editing...

The junta has sought to stabilize the market by fixing the prices of essential goods, including rice.

This never works.

Why isn't Japan cooperating with the UN?

And how many times has China done the same thing to Japan?

So they chose the picture where Charles isn't even looking at the camera?? OK...

It doesn't take a panel to recommend common-sense measures like that. Except that it's irrelevant in this case as the cause was pilot error. The captain of the Coast Guard plane didn't obey ATC instructions.

Are we STILL doing COVID spacing with the chairs??

Anyone know if the people that failed to successfully protect Abe were punished or at least fired?

Trump will never see the inside of a jail cell. It's too logistically difficult.

Who could ever have seen this coming???

How many North Koreans involved in this failed launch will be killed as punishment?

What's with the Japanese loving cash so much???

What if you have PR, but don't live in Japan? You don't have to pay into Japan's pension system in that case, right?

So this isn't illegal, then?

He's not wrong.

Proof that they are not Japanese?

Nothing will happen or change. Props to them for at least bringing attention to the issue, though.

He's even smirking as he submits his letter of resignation.

Why not the Boston to Washington, DC corridor instead? More potential passengers.

I didn't know water faucets could turn people on.

And suddenly, the maglev can once again be back to its original completion schedule!

I wonder if he knows what a traditional Japanese toilet looks like.

Is anyone actually surprised here?

And a simple DNA test can't be the method to determine things because??
