Concerning in that Japan will be opening its borders to this Sinovac-immunized country, which will probably lead to an 8th wave.

You know things are messed up when your country’s only savior is Dennis Rodman.

As long as the good ol’ LDP stays in charge, no social reforms will ever occur.

Who in the right mind would want to come to the country with the most Covid cases in the World for the past month?

Kishida-san’s led LDP is the best in the World…at highest # cases per capita:

thus of course its staffers are now all becoming infected. Rest assured though that there’s no need to worry as all of them also ride the packed Yamanote everyday like the rest of us.

In America this is known as “passing the buck”. Here it’d be “円を渡す”

40,406 in Tokyo today. The anti-vax crowd here have better odds in their local Yak pachinko parlor.

…and “Japan marks world's highest number of weekly COVID cases“. This is not going well.

They did not say the nationality of the man. But the rule of thumb is if they omit the nationality, it is a foreigner.

you have it completely backwards. They always write if it’s a foreigner (easy to blame), and make it sound more ambiguous when it’s a national.

Trout, Rendon, and a possible record breaking contract for Ohtani would push them into the luxury tax. The rest of the club would have to be minor league players.

Based upon their current record of 39-55, it seems like the rest of the Angels are already playing at the minor league level.

If the j-gov approach to Covid has been the best, then why is Japan experiencing a “seventh wave”, whilst my relatives in California are just now going through only their fourth?

Money over morals...further proof that the pro-LDP corporations are no different than the USA's GOP ones.

At the extremely slow pace that they loaded him into the medical helicopter, it appears that he most likely is deceased.

of Course he does as he can take those back alley payments in lowly ¥, and cash out later if the Japan’s economy ever recovers. Not a bad bet, as j-gov/BOJ artificially will ensure that he doesn’t lose money.

No need to worry Tokyoites, as the Koike-San has got everything under control again:

The same Yoshida that was on the pitch when the “bolstered” Saints lost 0-9 to Leicester?

At almost ¥20,000 for a single shirt, you’d expect at least silk rather than cheap rayon in the manufacturing.

And what about shutting down all those Ginza lights?

no way that’ll happen for how will the LDP leaders find their way to their favorite steaku houses?

Oh great LDP, have you no shame? how can you stand there smiling when “Less than 3% of Japanese firms exiting Russia; lowest among G7: survey“?

Shibuya Scramble will definitely conserve power, eh?

Hey if the LDP will cover the cost of a dozen natto packs from Aeon, they got my vote….and what is the sound of sheep?

…and yet the sheep will still vote LDP.

Sadly turning into the equivalent of a "one hit wonder" musical group.

Shibuya crossing…Nuff said.

More waste by the great LDP. Those Abe masks and then this, with the latter actually being significant.

He's been alone on his boat for two months, and yet still the forward thinking j-gov has subjugated him to Covid quarantine protocol.

No teeth behind this as there's no penalty for noncompliance. If there were, about 90% of businesses in Tokyo alone would have to pay a fine for lack of accessibility. How many empty cases of sake and beer bottles have you had to walk over in order to reach the bathroom, at your afterwork parties in Shimbashi?
