Spitfire comments

How many could have been saved if the first on the scene US helicopter had been allowed to render assistance?

Japanese pride taking precedence over common sense yet again.

While the ladies should all be proud for being such a great team the Japanese media and broadcasters should be extremely ashamed for not airing or covering the team’s matches on terrestrial TV because they weren’t expected to do well.

It was exactly the same as 12 years ago,the earlier games were virtually ignored because Japan wasn’t”t reckoned to have a chance,however the media jumped on the bandwagon when the team got to the final and won it.

How come Japan is always behind western Countries?

Smoking rates, vaccination rollout rates, animal welfare,sex offender list, etc.

A true Japanese hero.

Sounds like another LDP puff piece.

Another of the useless"Silver Spoons" that Japan has an abundance of.

Thank you Japan,I remember about 30 years ago when the world was your oyster.What happened?

Suspended sentence.....anyone?

Japan's government ,as normal, is trying to strike fear into its population.

After all a people living in fear is far easier to control.

@Disillusioned,

Spot on.

There was even a hot spot in Mizumoto Park in Tokyo.

The wind in March,when the disaster occurred,tends to blow from the north meaning that it carried a lot of radioactive dust and particles with it to Tokyo.

I kept my daughter out of school in Katsushika during the first week after the quake while the government was saying there was nothing to worry about despite tons of smoke billowing out of the wrecked nuclear power plants.

You can never trust a government especially one with a track record like Japan's.

FRIP to them.

Love the US 'Show of Force.'

Only they can do it and it is very reassuring indeed.

@Tamarama,

You are spot on.

The Oxbridge types have got to keep themselves relevant, right?

RIP and many thoughts to their families.

@Bofington,

Amen to that brother.

That photo caption should be 'Retired folk enjoying life at the park' but sadly it is 'people who should have retired long ago running country into the ground with their same as ever ideas.'

RIP,lady.

@garypen,

So many Japanese people keep big sums of cash at home.

Harvard grads will be too busy chasing the big bucks to care about anything else.

The Japanese will never let these papers disappear.How could they play the victim card again if they did.

Too little, too late.

Japan should have aided these countries 35 years ago when it was awash with cash and China wasn't much different than Sri Lanka today.

And there goes the Northern Territories.

Putin won't forget this.

Japan is used to playing both sides every time in order to sell its products, but now the time to stand up and be counted as actually arrived.......Japan might be left I n the lurch.

The F-16 must be the most beautiful airplane in the world except for the Spitfire.

Nice gestures, but I think in two years time the South Koreans will be after compensation for WW2 damage and Kishida will be back at Yasukuni praying for the souls of those who inflicting said damage.

@lunatic,

To regulate the staff means to pay the decent staff a decent wage and Japan doesn't want to do that.

I would rather have Citeh dominate than Barca or Bayern or PSG for hat matter.

Wow!

Huge news in Japan.

Citeh were relentless.

Real Madrid didn’t know what hit them.

'We have to go through this every year in August, now everyday of the G7 then again in August!

Can you imagine if every international event done in China they dragged dignitaries and guess over to Nanjing?'

Antiquesaving, you are spot on as usual.
