Is Kumano another one of those "experts"? Just askin'.

So you ask a question. Then follow it with a statement saying you asked a question.

What does that even mean?

We should stop them!

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread!

A 70,000 yen dinner??!! That's a lot of curry!

I kissed a girl there once.

No way, man. When me and my buds all get together, we're still gonna call it "MR. Potato Head."

Alter the GoTo Campaign for travel only within prefectures. That way they support local hospitality businesses while somewhat limiting distant travel and spread.

Otherwise, this is stupidity happening all over again.

The more these Native American names disappears from baseball, football and product names, the more quickly these groups will be forgotten and fade into history. Often times they're depicted in a tough, rugged and positive way and keep their tribes and empires in the minds of the populace.

Almost everything and anything that was funny could no longer be shown today. The US and other countries struggling with PC bullying allowed the overly-sensitive minority-few to take the fun and humor out life and entertainment.

What's going to happen when their capital goes back up to over 20 million dollars after the epidemic, which it inevitably will? Do they get to still be considered a medium/small sized company?

It's been used by the Japanese military since Meiji. They shouldn't avoid using this cool looking symbol and flag. In fact, it's still being used by the J-military today.

More people feel threatened by the red PRC flag than any other. They should stop using that one before they stop using peaceful Japan's.

I drive across that bridge all the time it scares the hell out of me when I look down. The railing is really low so people can enjoy the spectacular view but for me it's frightening.

That's a pretty high fall. Serious guts to hurl yourself over that edge.

With all the money Spotify is making, they should pay out a much higher percentage to all the artists out of that pot. Without them, they wouldn't be making any money.

Artists would be happier and Spotify would still be making billions.

Nearly three quarters of Japanese firms have no plan to offer blanket base pay hikes at this year's shunto labor talks, with two thirds keeping wages flat.....

Same recycled report every time. Hadn't read about a substantive pay increase since 1990.

Typical Japanese sentence for killing your own kids. Get used to it if you're going to live here a long time.

Go Facebook!

Good going government. Probably going to hurt a lot more news services than help them.

Couldn't care less because I'm 100% against these Olympics anyway.

You could put an onion ring in charge and it wouldn't matter to me.

I've always liked Dolly.

If new sites are missing from Aussies walls, they can thank their govt.

They must have different cooks.

Not a single foreign person in the video above were of average weight or thinner. It's embarrassing to see so many overweight people as the new norm. It's unhealthy.

Someone had stand up to incompetence sooner or later. Good on him!

I think the headline here by JT is misleading.

They want to allow female observers in, then fine. But as observers, they're not expected to participate. That's the same with any occupation or setting.

We've known we were going to start a massive innoculation campaign months ago. How much more advanced notice do these companies need?

Never read anything on JT that has made me cry until now.

She needs to go have a talk with her own government.

When I came to Japan, I kept the TV on all the time, even if I wasn't watching it, as background noise w/ Japanese constantly going into my ear. It helped my listening comp and pick up the rhythm of the language which is very important.

Weather reports (comes with accompanying pictures), kid shows, music shows (lot of the songs have subtitles as they're singing), and whatever you're really into - mine was movies and watched hundreds of J-movies.

If no one showed up for the Olympics, would it be an Olympics?

Monday evening I was feeling and looking fresh as a daisy, then boom!, at 1:07am, I turned into rinkled Frankenstein w/ giant bags under my red itchy eyes w/ runny nose. This news story is pretty spot on. What a difference!
