beer vendors who are as unique to Japanese baseball as the cheering sections that beat drums and blow horns to rally their teams

They are not unique to Japanese baseball they have them all most all sporting events in Japan and Korea. The writer needs to research a little better.

Did the baby die? It says it was found in a canel with 20cm of water but doesn't mention if the baby was underwater or had died.

RIP if that is the case.

Put aside, but what are you planning to spend it on? More panels discussing things? A handout to shut people up? You need to build more schools and day cares!

Smart play, if China locks down or something limits the supply chain this will counter act. Alot of countries saw the writing on the wall after covid supply chain issues.

This was the best thing for travellers, I'm guessing since airlines raised the prices JR saw the opportunity to also grab money from tourists.

A drone is not a satellite. If NK thinks they can fly drones and call it a space program Japan has every right to shoot them down.

Posted in: Japan Swatch exec suffers mental illness after bullying by boss See in context

Typical new bosses that know norhing, want to get rid of anyone that might be able to figure out they are stupid. Constantly blaming other people for their own mistakes or for doing not doing the thing they didn't tell them about.

This isn't a Japanese only thing, it's people in power that know nothing and chop off anyone that looks like a competitor. Good people don't want to deal with the BS and leave, the stupid boss then hires yes men and gets them to blame other people.

So stupid, do magazines need permission to do reviews? Are movies going to sue anyone that gives away spoilers?

Unless you are competing with the rest of the world and doing better and not the same you are going to be years behind. What is in market now was started in 5 years ago.

Just by bringing manufacturing to Japan isn't going to solve anything if the market doesn't want your chips.

Posted in: Another ex-member of Johnny's talent agency says he was sexually abused See in context

I worked in the event and music industry in Japan in the 2000's and it was common knowledge that any act Johnny's was promoting must have gone through this fire. It was a Harvey Weinstein situation, no one said or did anything. I never met the guy and was too far removed and certainly had no evidence but everyone talked about it.

Seriously wrong thinking about it again.

Over the Taliban's 20-year insurgency, the Corolla became the vehicle of choice for car bombers.

> Expendably cheap and camouflaged in plain sight, they were packed with explosives and rammed into targets with devastating effects.

I don't think this should be a selling point for Toyota, pretty poor taste JT.
