There are thousands of women out there in Japan that would be willing to do a job paying over 300000 yen a month.

JR has become penny pinching and focuses less on the customer than it does on yen pinching

In Kansai, this morning no real wind to speak of and clouds in the sky but bright.

I’m up and out in 5 minutes

Looking at the forecast Kyushu has rain but Honshu is not so troubled by anything more than intermittent rain

"We sprinkled water on the track for the first time, as extreme heat was expected. We used three water-sprinkler cars, but water dried up quickly," Hirata said.

Is water in short supply in Japan?

Isn’t there a vet in attendance at these events?

At least it wasn’t kids running around…

Companies are making record profits and the solution is?

I see the large company cars during rush hour so obviously there is money being made.

Local high end import car companies have lots of models!

The government has the power to increase corporation tax and to redistribute that gain by lowering income tax

Will it?

No

Posted in: Woman stabbed outside Osaka apartment See in context

@Strangerland

You are surely missing the point

Police said they are questioning the victim about any possible “reason” why her acquaintance stabbed her.

Are there any reasons salient to the crime as to why somebody is stabbed?

Oh, let me give you just one or two

’As there isn’t any access to guns in Japan, it wasn’t possible to shoot the perpetrator before being knifed’

or

’Not being able to react quickly enough and move out of the way, a stabbing occurred’

Etc

I can think of other more facetious reasons that have sweet FA to do with the actual crime

Seems that the Japanese police have their priorities mixed up

The Japanese police need to question the victim?

What reason is needed to stab someone?

Surely, going after the perpetrator is the action that is needed here?

When is Kishida in Japan to actually do his job?

He spends a lot of time flying here and there polluting our planet.

And what good is an apology without a cut in salary ?

Better yet, he should donate some of his wealth to planting trees…

@Asiaman7

> Being born in any country should be an automatic right to citizenship. Period!

Disagree. Why should any country burden its societal infrastructure with the influx of outsiders who travel pregnant solely to give birth and attain citizenship — i.e., birth tourism. 

In 2015 alone, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided groups in Southern California that charged Chinese women up to $60,000, promising to help with their visas, travel, and lodging at “maternity hotels” so their children could become U.S. citizens. 

Birthright citizenship is too frequently abused.

…..

The US is vastly different from Japan.

In fact, it is not even comparable.

There will never be a long line of foreigners waiting to give birth in Japan- no need to worry

@ Antiquesaving

The image contained in

is one that I have never seen before.

I’ll look out for them in my area

Now,

I live within 10 meters of a one way street which provides a nice downward slope for oncoming law breaking cyclists.I often have to give way to them (in a motor vehicle) before turning right at a junction, as I know they won’t stop or brake.

A collision would have the police involved and a lot of stress and wasted time.

Even though I am correct in my use of the road and they are not provides absolutely no consolation, if an accident occurs.

Right now cyclists are breaking the law by cycling in the wrong side of the road and against traffic in one way streets-they have done for many years and won’t stop now
