Enough already with the Angels and Ohtani.

The Japanese media goes on about it non-stop.

Most on this site don't give two hoots about a sport played by so few people worldwide.

Posted in: Japan formally decides to downgrade COVID-19 to flu level on May 8 See in context

So late to the party.

Is there even a Japan made Covid vaccination yet?

If all of the world reacted as slowly as Japan does we would have been wiped out a long time ago.

Posted in: LDP wins 4 of 5 Diet by-elections See in context

The LDP and its control over the media has turned the population of Japan into scaredy cats terrified of change.

The snowball rolling down the hill is gaining momentum so it shouldn’t long until it crashes into a wall and breaks into pieces.

Well done the Yankees,this Ohtani mania is reaching astronomical heights here in Japan and glossing over more important news like the suspended sentences given to the JOC for their big rigging.

Out of the 3 Kishida is much more attractive.

A surprising number of these places in the countryside don't.

Posted in: 97-year-old man gets suspended sentence for dangerous driving resulting in death, injury See in context

97 and still driving.

The mind boggles.

'When he last renewed his driver's license, he did not show any problems on dementia tests, local media reported.'

He passed the bureaucrats standardized and not real world test.

This is what happens when everything is done 'By the Book!'

Posted in: Gov't to approve plan for Japan's 1st casino resort in Osaka See in context

They have to start realizing that the tourist dollar is the way to go.

I have just been told by a good Japanese friend who recently went on a 10-day ocean cruise that of her ship's 2,800 guests only 10% were Japanese.

This was a cruise that started and finished in Yokohama.

It would seem that the elderly Japanese,the ones with the money, are reluctant to travel nowadays and the young Japanese simply don't have the time/money or either of them to travel.
