RIP

In the Tokyo assembly vote also held on Sunday, the backed LDP members won only two seats out of the possible nine.

Voters do not forget all those scandals

This law was a shame to the country and it was practiced until the 90s.

But no individual will take responsibilities dur such cruel acts and law enactment. Financial compensation is nothing for the government and can not replace the suffering of people, for most more or less disabled and not able to fight against their destiny.

By the middle of last month, the Digital Agency had scrapped all 1,034 regulations governing their use,

As said in the above sentence, it was just a question of regulations.

By the middle of last month, the Digital Agency had scrapped all 1,034 regulations governing their use, floppy disks have not been used for over a decade.

All ministries and governmental agencies use computers on lease, and renew the materials and systems every few years.

The article is not clear as it just shows the support by political parties and affiliates, not the general population support.

Koike has actually a 10 points lead and a strong advantage.

it is not tight but it is for a Tokyo election.

A huge cost is needed to adapt all equipments to recognize the new note

I have seen a lot of improvements over the past 20 years in the Japanese corporate culture,

Many cases seem to be in those small scale shops, companies and the social welfare and health sector.

The article mentions harassment as a leading cause, so rather than the working culture, it is the personality of some, the human factor which is the cause

Good idea, Tokyo does not have a waterfront with cafes and restaurants. Unless Daiba, maybe. But no need for adding skyscrapers and luxury shops. There is plenty enough. And it blocks the wind to glow in the city

The 38-year-old Kurakami, from Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture, was rescued by police officers who were on the mountain to check the paths, but died later in hospital. He was believed to have been suffering from a heart disease.Kurakami, who started climbing from around 6 a.m. with a friend,

It looks like the police was just checking the paths, but not there for any rescue effort. And what happened to his friend ?

Anyway, I climbed Mount Fuji a few days before the official opening back in the days, it is common at this time of the year to see more and more climbers. No need for any authorization all year long, but I am not sure anymore as a local decret was past last year. Many trained mountaineers do Fuji in winter, some transmitting their plan to the local authorities.

Otherwise, with the snow than can be left near the top, there is a danger not to ignore.

But three bodies where inside the crater. Strange they all felt into the crater. Some gas as the posters above mentioned might be the trigger.

Time to retire, Kazu !

Climbed 4 times, and 3 of the climbs were bullet climbing from Gotemba, Shizuoka.

Bullet climbing is the only interesting way to climb Mount Fuji. Shizuoka’s side is much harder and still free from that measures, So will try again until those restrictive measures are implemented.

But the tons of trash left behind, including plastic bottles and food, have become a major concern.But the tons of trash left behind, including plastic bottles and food, have become a major concern.

It was more a concern 30 years ago when climbers and foreigners were much fewer.

"to avoid raising the admission fee for local residents."

He said too many visitors could damage the castle's keep

What is the definition of local residents ?

Himeji residents, or the residents of Japan ? This makes a huge difference.

70% of visitors are residents, 30% foreign tourists. Would it be all 1.4 million from Japan, he would not bother about the risk of damages

Yes that's right it's their country but it doesn't mean they can do whatever they want to enslave foreigner by forcing those foreign trainee to work in same company even with lower pay and horrible work condition. Without any chance to move to other companies.

You don't know anything about trainee visa don't you, people with trainee people are not allowed to switch job, even with same industry to another company. It has been like this from 90s

Some companies do abuse the system or workers, no doubt. But beyond the cases reported in the news which might make you believe this is the majority, how many companies do really abuse them. We never talk about the companies who really do take care of their trainees.

A close relative of mine has been helping in issuing visas for those trainees and did follow them. So I have a direct background from involved people and not the media articles. Those trainees get a higher wage than Japanese for the same job they do. Working conditions are not different for them. Some are not happy with their job or employers, like for the locals. Never heard directly of any « slavery »

It has been a problem for many not being able to change jobs, but this was the initial deal with that visa.

It's Ok for normal Japanese people to switch job but not those cheap labor trainee? 

Yes it is, because that’s their own country. This is the same for all countries over the world.

Foreigners have specific visas, and unless having the citizenship or being a permanent resident, foreigners need to work accordingly.

Stranded on Mt Takao

No way to be stranded there. What’s the reason?

Old age, inability to walk, lack of simple training, bad shoes?

Takao is the closest and easiest mountain near Tokyo, no risk at all. But frequented by many “city people” who sometimes do not exercise at all and do not have the basic body fit, Same for many climbing Fuji.

Foreigners integrate more easily if they are on their own. All the foreign laborers coming through the J gvt program are often in groups, like 2-4 working for the same company and I believe stock together too and with others from their own country. In that case, adding to the language barrier, it is more difficult to integrate. On the other hand, how many locals really want to have interaction with those foreigners. That is a question to answer too

One think I have noticed and I learned about is that Many Companies are instructing their Foreign workers NOT TO INTERACT with other on their days off especially with other foreigners. 

They are not allowed to stay out overnight, not allowed to go out and party, No Cell phones, No transportation not even a bicycle, basically they are prisoners with no handcuffs.

Do not spread misinformation

Your story is based on any facts

Any enforcement of the ban ?

The benefits do apply from the application day, not from the date you have been unemployed.

The first visit at Hello Work is counted as a job search, so making only one job search the first month is Ok.

if you have found a job and tell it, which must be done, Hello Work will stop the full benefits paiement. Keeping looking for an other job is a way to keep the full benefits. Otherwise, benefits for the remaining period of rights. after finding a job or starting a job will still be paid, but at a lower rate.

Why was the sentence suspended?

Written in the article.

But the court gave Takakura a suspended sentence, as the driver of the minicar neglected to properly check for oncoming traffic before making a turn, the judge said.

Japan was very slow to act on this issue because the medical lobby opposed it, as the treatment of these allergies is an important source of income for them

Any source ?

I do not thing the medical lobby has a say on this, as long as the replacing trees are less harmful

No need for any critic, Covid is a risk at her age.

A nice story !

Can the team make it to the end ?

FM in the car, Inter FM in Kanto, the best radio station in Japan

Parks, this means Hanami parties will only be with soft drinks ?

How will it be restricted during the Cheery Blossoms. I can not imagine Japanese going away from the tradition of being drunk in parks during this period

Vietnamese! Cheap labor and increase in crime. Both go hand in hand.

No.

Nobody force them to come here to work and commit thefts. A crime is dictated by the mind. Labor is much cheaper in Vietnam than Japan.

Beyond a possible buffer zone in the area, moving more Ukrainian troops to the north will weaken other parts of the front line.

The Institute for the Study of War site describes well the ground positions.

I have been looking at it since January. No gain by Ukraine, slowly but continuous advance by Russia.Attrition war. More troops more ammunition for one side. Not sure how long Ukraine can maintain its defense line in the north

Saliva spitting?

No, it must be something more white

But for me, a great picture of Mt Fuji is without Lawson on it

The net barrier being on the opposite side of the road, it will be completely efficient if it is over the Lawson. Easy to walk on the road and take a picture, especially in the early morning when there isn’t any traffic
