"The guy was shown on TV..."-- He looks like a drug user...

Driving a bus requires real-time concentration, decision-making and problem-solving abilities; by definition, the driver cannot be distracted by scrolling through ThickTok on the stupidphone...

If this article were originally written in Japanese, then 'beer stein' is probably a translation of 'beer jockey' ビールジョッキ Bīrujokki...

The chicken is coming home to roost...

'What automatically makes a group of men arguing on a street a "gang"?'

Tattoos, gold chains around the neck, sunglasses, punch perms and L.A.-styled, designer-branded clothing...

"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"

Peer pressure results in younger, (often) female teachers staying late every day to supervise the club activities; while the middle-aged males slink off to sleep in the 'secret' storage room, or else head out to ABC Pachinko...

That is really too bad...if only she were able to receive help and support.

Really, really funny? Much ado about nothing...

"Mawar"? Powerful Typhoon #2 大型台風2号 is approaching Okinawa later this week...

"Oh well, as a hunter in Japan, I welcome the down-votes. Lmao."

You are not a hunter in Japan.

Chick flicks.

3 suspects have been arrested; they seem to be from Okinawa...one of them (22 years old) has a tattoo on his neck.

Was it another 'Roofy' crime, organized and controlled from a prison, overseas...?

I stand corrected: the murder weapon was in fact a hunting rifle, and not a shotgun. Shots were fired at around 19:00 and 20:00 and did not sound like 'sandanjuu'...

Not a "hunting rifle" -- a shotgun. Death toll is now at 3 victims...

Any exterminator with a pest control licence is able to purchase thallium [rodenticide = rat poison] which is available at a pharmacy anywhere in Japan. The alleged murderer Kazuki MIYAMOTO, was 'President' of his own company, and had 3 Mercedes-Benz automobiles at his disposal (purchased with his Aunt's money, of course). He operated an 'entertainment company' on the side, and actively hunted and recruited young innocent women who wanted to begin their career working as Maiko...

"most Japanese can read English,but are not comfortable in speaking it,"

Listen to the English expert!

@opheliajadefeldt: Thank you for your personal response, and enjoy your guitar!

This guitar appears to be a left-handed model; or possibly the photo image is reversed...

How do we know "that the woman was walking along the side of the road"? There is no witness cited in this report. The unfortunate victim may have been crossing the road when struck, making the driver responsible.

Shiyoochuu = locker is currently in use; note that all of the red lamps are lit, indicating they will not accept any coins.

"Rishi-kun, kakkoii...!"

Of course the bus overheated; it is a shuttle bus, normally operated for short trips between JR Nakanosakae Station and Sendai Umino-Mori Aquarium (which is incidentally, the owner of the bus). This bus was never meant for sustained high-speed highway runs; and it is possible the owner was saving money by not keeping up with regular maintenance. Moreover, from Sendai City to Ichinoseki City is more than 90 kilometers...why were the Japanese language school students being sent such a distance for part-time jobs? Does the language school accept any liability in contributing toward the factors causing this accident?

Commuting to work can be so stressful! It is much better to walk or cycle, if possible...

The lifting capacity of the crane is 20 metric tonne...

Mainichi Shimbun video shows the outrigger stabilizers are retracted (at approximately 0:05 seconds). The crane is equipped with 4-wheel steering and all four wheels are turned, as if the operator was maneuvering in a restricted space.

The article reads like an advertisement...
