The 36-year-old brand director for an advertising firm calculates the cost-per-wear of his wardrobe by highlighting 200 items in a spreadsheet — excluding underwear and socks — and meticulously listing the price he paid for each of them as well as how many times he's worn it.

What a waste of time. I generally estimate how long something should last but would never spend my time daily doing the above.

I have two Uniqlo flannel shirts that've lasted 27 years and a jacket for over 20. Then, I have some clothes that have lasted just a few years as expected. That's enough information for me.

I thought the scattering of their ashes in the sea was common knowledge.

They still don't deserve the same pay as the men.

Any of the Mel Brooks movies, Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke, and any films or shows that used to lightheartedly make fun of women and minorities.

I like how JT imposed the headline about Kishida sending in an offering with a picture of a group of hardcore right-wing nationlists.

If I were homeless living under the bridges in Ueno, I'd be taking periodic dips into the Sumida River to cool off. Ain't the cleanest river but beats getting heat stroke or exhaustion.

I vote to divert the 7,000,000,000,000 yen they're spending on defense next year to cancer research to find cures or effective treatments.

This doctor has a heart of gold. Put him on TV and get rid of all those yelling "talentos".

I don't watch the awards ceremony but I do pay attention to which shows were nominated and won.

The ceremonies, all of them, bore me unless someone is getting massively slapped.

Actually, I'd probably go to this thing if they only had cats and dogs!

What was she doing in a hotel room with him? Use your head.

Here they come!!!

Things over people.

Hanging up that phone call? The location of Apple's red end-call button is set to slightly move with upcoming iOS 17 

Gosh, I remember when a new iPhone came with incredible new advancements.

They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this next one.

I'm sure millions are going empty their wallets for this new moved-end-call button advancement.

I couldn't care less if they put people on the moon again.

These countries can go ahead and spend billions of dollars of much needed money on their need to feed their state ego rather than the people of their nations for their immediate humanitarian and quality of life needs.

I look at the moon in the night sky and feel the power and the beauty of it on my evening walks. No need for people to be walking on it.

If a house 10-15 years old is worth "worse than nothing" then my almost 50 year-old house must be "worse than everything!"

I hope Japan annihilates and destroys them! Explode them!!!

Best for themselves to not to buy anything from the provinces where those nuclear plants release water at higher levels of contamination than Fukushima Daichi.

Hypocrite much?

The could actually make it easier on the kids and fans of the Koshien tournament. Scheduling it around the hottest part of the day can easily be done.

They could move one game to early in the morning from 7-9, then 9-11 and next games in the evening with one from about 5-7 and the last from the about 7-9.

Otherwise all this advice about heat stroke prevention is just lip service.

I know a guy named Bob that lives there.

This archipelago is 90% mountains. There are literally hundreds of hikeable mountains and ranges.

If you want to avoid this ridiculous train station feel to your hike, choose another mountain. You won't regret it.

If Fuji is on your must-do list, then go when it's not peak season.

At Sukiya, they had Fukushima rice listed as the rice they were using at that branch.

I didn't really have any choice so I ate some in my donburi.

It tasted fine and none of the massive amounts of hair on my back fell off.

Back in the day, we used to all think a guy singing about pineapples, pens, apples, and pineapples was just the greatest thing.

No, I didn't.

Premium Friday was just another idea by incompetent and overpaid public sector heads.

It had to be pushed on to all or most companies in order for it to work.

And just think, they're going to get one of the biggest pay raises in 26 years, according another JT article.

It looks like ALL of Asia has the let's-walk-through-the-typhoon-with-our umbrellas-open-while-so-they-get-annihilated-by-it disease.

People go to where the money is; the other most talented people are; a more dynamic environment; and where the best future prospects seem to be. It definitely ain't Japan.

They've even been caught purposely passing over successful female science applicants to universities here to men. Not a very conducive atmosphere for keeping your best.

Hey, JGovt. Why don't you just take a little bit of the 7 trillion yen (7,000,000,000,000) you have earmarked for weapons and destruction and funnel just a fracton of it to help fund your cultural assets, your history and something positive for your own people?

Good to see that Kiko recovered quickly from Covid.

Vietnam is a great and inexpensive place to buy and get your suits tailored.

I think the royal family got wind of this and quickly booked their flights.

She looks a lot like Nikki Minaj.

Thanks for giving Tokyo less character and flavor. Just like the politician, I wish this Mori would disappear.

I like how this article explains how deflation impacts an economy to the audience of JAPAN Today.

This and recessions have been what Japan's economy has been about since the bubble burst three decades ago.

I remember when the Shinkansen had dining cars. 

Wow, you've been here awhile! I remember them back from a long time ago too. I wasn't sure if it was just my imagination since I was just a kid.

I think Amtrak still has dining cars, which I love. But with Amtrak, you really need them since you'll probably be twelve hours behind schedule and starving.
