We have a saying in Belgium” not a cat to be seen” which refers to a deserted place. Japan wants to avoid that. This anachronistic pork barrel event serves only greedy politicians and friends

About time. Nothing but hot air. Overpriced and overhyped. Everything costs extra money. The business model was ripping off real estate owners and clients

Japan has no regrets it started the war. Only that it lost the war. Thank god it did not have nuclear arms, it would dropped all they had on the USA.

Posted in: Japan corporate bankruptcies highest in 5 years in wake of pandemic See in context

What is so strange. Which country with a yearly net loss of 800.000 people would not see its retail sector suffer ?

it will only get worse. Especially also for the telecom sector. Few deceased people need mobile phones, restaurant sectors and real estate will continue to fall notwithstanding the lies and fake statistics from Mitsui, Ken , Mori and Sumitomo.

Many local broadcaster will have to close or integrated in the National mother companies, etc.. all unavoidable results of the demographic situation

Posted in: Yamashita re-elected as JOC chief; voices discomfort over Sapporo bid See in context

It happened under your watch, Yamashita San. And everybody in the business knows that bribery and corruption is Dentsu’s business mode.

but federation officials and politicians are among the first to profit.

journalists in Japan will not write the facts passed on to them as they are afraid for repercussions and missing out on invitations.

the mayor of Sapporo had already hired Dentsu again to promote the bid.

my company was bullied out of Japan because we were to efficient and refused to pay bribes.

Posted in: Top executive quits Nissan in new leadership turmoil See in context

Of course. When foreign managers become successful the Japanese feel threatened, frustrated and insulted. Ghosn the obvious example. I was also bullied out of the country by immigration, pension,tax and health authorities no doubt pressured by Dentsu.

As long as the Japanese army , navy or airforce is aiming at the rocket NK has nothing to fear.

politically also playing in the cards of NK by threatening to shoot down an announced launch.

Not surprised to see Japanese politicians fall for any trap no matter how obvious

Getting used to the level of disgust surrounding this organisation. The only reason is so the VIP’s and federation heads, noc’s, IOC members would not stand out.

i stop now, and this time i mean it, with this website. Bye to all

If a transgender, man to women, wants to compete then why not as a women in a mans category ? See how far they get

Posted in: New Zealand selects transgender athlete Hubbard for Olympic women's weightlifting team See in context

I find it simply unacceptable. The only comfort is that it happens in a sport where the majority of top athletes cheat. The entire Romanian federation is currently banned.

Posted in: Ugandan Olympic team member tests positive for coronavirus upon arrival in Japan See in context

The “safe “ games are coming up. This Friday also at the US Olympic trials there was one athlete positive and a staff member. Both fully vaccinated and a-symptomatic but proofs the great danger for the Japanese public.

what i find more incredible is that the 8 other athletes were just put on the bus to Osaka. Crazy that. Also for the athletes. A 10 bus ride after a long flight.

Before the start of the US track and field trials Friday, one athlete and one staffer, both fully vaccinated tested positive for Covid. It proofs the danger for Japanese people coming in contact even with vaccinated athletes

Posted in: Tokyo LGBTQ center head hoping Olympics spark social change See in context

I hate organisations dragging in any event, topic or stretched arguments to support their interests. I am fine with any individuals decision but tired of this lgbt’s exhibitionism. I will treat you equal, be yourself, but stop trying to be special and different and seeking attention when you say what you want is to be like all others.

Posted in: Naomi Osaka won't be required to talk to press at Tokyo Olympics See in context

Trevor

No, she has not confirmed her attendance, IMG has just said she is preparing and looking forward to it. She will be hoping the right excuse comes along for her to cancel. Higher virus case, more players to bow out, etc.

she does not want to come and if the mental issues are serious it would seem a very bad decision to go to a tournament where pressures and expectations are tge highest

Posted in: Naomi Osaka won't be required to talk to press at Tokyo Olympics See in context

Another pathetic move from the Tokyo organisation and IOC to play the public. Kneeling for Osaka to come and play nut because they care anything about her but for more glory for the Holy Games

Posted in: Are you old enough to remember a time when there were no cell phones, no email, no internet and no way to keep you connected to the world 24 hours a day? If so, do you sometimes think fondly back on that time? See in context

It was a lot better, especially the internet with “asocial media” and the “ instant “ unresearched press is troublesome. The fame, biased “ news” and “ influencers “ are dangerous. In general it made people less creative, lazy and less active.

But the diplomats have been vaccinated A long time ago as they are much above us mere humans. There is a special section at the ministry of foreign affairs that took care of that. And the diplomats families. And all of them quietly accepted it.

Posted in: Osaka still set to play Wimbledon, say organizers See in context

“ we have reached out to her team “ is a good one, considering IMG, Osaka’s agency has been selling broadcasting rights for Wimbledon( except UK) and sponsorships for 50+ years.

so pressure to play comes again from many sides.

i always said, and i used to work for them, that it should not be allowed to organize tournaments, represent players, sell broadcasting rights and sponsorships all by one company.

as i can not accept that Alibaba or Wada, owners of big sports marketing companies can be sponsors of global events at the same time.
