Posted in: 45% of Japanese living abroad feel lonely: gov't study See in context
As a long time resident of Japan who has repatriated, I understand.
It's not just language, so much, it's cultural.
I've returned to the USA and I don't recognize so many things.
There is an incredible amount of over-reach in behavior that is hard to understand.
In Japan, for me it was sometimes a problem with exact communication, understanding, at times.
In the US, I understand all that's said, but no one tells the truth, or follows up.
It's either outright lying, or withholding
information to cover their asses.
I miss Japan, and loneliness was also there,
but it felt normal, and you could walk outside and get on a train or a bus and visit a park
or botanical garden, or take a bike ride and just be.
If you don't drive in the US, you are screwed, lonely, or not.

Posted in: Monday will be 13 years since the March 11, 2011 disaster. If you were in Japan, what are your memories of that day? See in context
Western Tokyo, I was riding my bike to the station, for an early rehearsal for my later jazz concert.
I didn't know why everyone looked drunk so early in the day, hanging on to each other for balance, until I saw the phone/electric wires swinging. When I got off my bike, I could not stand upright. I wanted to cry but didn't want to ruin my makeup. A guy nearby laughed at this. When the shaking finally stopped, he was gone. I was able to reach my son at university, but mobile phone service went out, directly after. Stood online to use a pay phone to try and reach club owner, and all musicians that the gig was all canceled...
Rode bike home, a few paintings fell down, turned on news to see how horrible it was going up north.
More shaking. Shopping for food became like a scavenger hunt, but it was orderly. I was thankful for my friends in area at that time. I remember thinking if I had to be in such a situation, better to be in Japan where people were all trying to help one another, and there was no looting.
A few days before trains were running again...

I hope the victim recovers from his injuries.
His life is bound to be affected by this attack; hospital fees,
recuperating and loss of his study time, plus the mental and emotional trauma
of being randomly attacked on the street he felt safe on.
The kid that did this has issues as well.

Posted in: Body of newborn baby boy found in trash can at Osaka hotel See in context
According to police, a hotel cleaning employee found the infant in a trash can near an elevator on the seventh floor of the hotel in Chuo Ward at around 10:30 a.m., Kyodo News reported. The baby, with its umbilical cord still attached and wrapped in a towel, was inside a plastic bag.
So, this person didn't just drop it on the floor, and leave, she packed it neatly (maybe while it was still alive) into a plastic bag, then a towel, and dumped it in a trash bin, where it would be found.
There is a disproportionate number of 'lynch-mob ' mentality comments here.
It is complete and utter disrespect for human life,
and this so called "lynch mob" are stating that fact.
This person was conscious of neatly disposing of her infant boy,
that lived inside her and she gave birth to, with a coldness and detachment
that is inhuman.
The only thought she gave to this infant,
was how to dispose of it.
This is murder.

The land of passive aggression.
They can't outright say they disagree with her winning,
that would go against the virtue signal they set up-
so sic some rag mag into her personal life until they find (or create) some red meat.
She was probably offered a settlement, for her discretion...

You have literal in your face evidence of how govt. acts without taxpayers best interests or consent, to deliver funds to this foreign endless sinkhole, while in local reality some people in Ishikawa still don’t have power or running water.
Imagine what those kinds of funds would do for rebuilding, or aiding the displaced. Or, for any issue that concerns the people of Japan.
Priorities.
When people stop paying taxes en masse, govt. play money dries up, and ‘the employees of the people’ start behaving as such.

Posted in: Woman arrested after showing up at Saitama police station with dead baby See in context
She did not know what to do. Are there any social services available to educate her on caring for an infant? That was the point of failure, not her actions to a broken system.
She was 27, not 11.
At some point you must take responsibility for yourself and your infant. Working as a sex worker is a choice, having a baby even by default, is a choice.
You have more than 9 mos to figure out a plan, doing nothing, and dropping an infant and leaving it, are choices.
She is not a victim, the innocent baby girl who never got a chance to live, is.
RIP.
