Hey, there's a typhoon coming, let's go to the ocean and watch the waves...great photo, happens all the time, idiots come out of the woodwork.

Someone should ask this idiot. "I'm in a bad mood, can I beat you to pulp?"

There's no news about how many in the stands are carted off to the hospital.

Chicken Hawks rattling their sabres. How much they've forgotten about war in such a short time. You shore won't see Aso on the front lines. Rather, you'll see Aso Cement making tons of money with projects for air raid bunkers, construction of JSDF facilities, and other war time infrastructure upgrades.

One thing I find refreshing from watching the women are the after goal celebration. The women gather around as a team to celebrate, whereas the men are all about me, me, me.

Way better than the men. One thing I really like about them is after they score a goal, they don't run around carrying on with the me, me celebration. It's a big group hug cheering and it's refreshing to see that they are celebrating as a team. The guys have forgotten that this is a team sport.

Vote LDP, you get LDP. He not only resigned from his post, but he also terminated his party membership with the LDP. He can still draw his pay and perks as a representative though; they just won't give that up, such a cush job. His constituents should start a recall and get his butt out of government, but they won't. And Japan will vote LDP again.

Women, get out there and support, buy tix and go see the game.

Jet set Kishida. Burning fuel on all his traipses around the world while back home, his own people are getting flooded and burning under the scorching sun.

Opportune time for Vietnam and Philippines.

Let it be known that Marie Curie was awarded the Nobel prize not once, but twice. She also had two daughters of which the elder, Irene was also awarded the Nobel prize in chemistry, and the younger Eve was committed to UNICEF. Japan's thinking is back in the stone age...

TEPCO and LDP also told the residents that the nuke reactors were safe. In fact there's a famous sign in Futaba, 原子力明るい未来のエネルギー, Nuclear power, bright energy of the future. Yeah right. Can you blame the residents for not trusting the government and TEPCO? Could be safe, could be well within safety limits, but NIMBY. I'm sure Nishimura and Kishida are in that group.

Trying so hard to be relevant that it's embarrassing.

Duh....Buy all your expensive war toys with no one to man them.

Like Nishimura and Kishida didn't see this coming? The folks in Fukushima have been saying this all along...

You're there to discuss Russia, Ukraine and security; why the smile?

So much for being a signatory of the Cluster Munitions ban. Agree with dagon, LDP are spineless.

Abe's philosophy was to have the family take care of the elderly. I'm sure those LDP folks feel the same way. Care for the elderly is intertwined with the low birth rate in Japan, and this problem has been festering for decades. Rich folks can afford to place their elderly in resort style homes or have personal carers in their residence, not so for the rest of us.

Kishida needs to tamp it down. If he really wants peace, start a dialog with Xi.

Japan is good with PR campaigns. They should have Kishida and Nishimura go and eat some sashimi over there after the water is released. Since their junior partner Komeito is also concerned about releasing the water in the summer during swimming season, The KN show could also take a dip in water at the beach.

Make the report public and have Kishida and Nishimura have a televised Q&A town hall with the local residents.

DOA.

After Golden Week is summer vacation. He should be going to China to begin dialog with Xi.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

A right wing Hindu Nationalist who was denied a visa to enter the U.S. because of the massacre of Muslims in Gujarat is now being hosted to a state dinner right on the heels of Blinken's semi-productive trip to China. Go figure...

"Kishida stressed the importance of dialog with China...." So going to Lithuania is dialog with China? Blinken met with Xi in China, Sholz of Germany met Xi late last year, Macron and Ursula von der Leyen visited China earlier this year, as did Spain's PM Pérez-Castejón. I think it's time for Kishida to visit China and walk the talk. Get so tired of this clown's obsession with his image of a diplomat.

What about Mori?

Great, a photo op on power point slide #1. Not convincing already...

And what of AKB and the other pubescent girl groups?

Like father, like son, poor judgement. Father for hiring, and son for being ignorant of how he would be scrutinized by the media.
