That's the problem when a country has death penalty. It is so arbitrary... You might think this guy should deserve it as some people are on death row for "lesser" crimes... Just abolish it, it makes no sense.

People choose Uber in other countries because ordinary Taxi service there is really bad. I don’t see any advantage of Uber in Japan.

The fare price maybe? Taxis are so expensive here, paying 4,000Y to 7,000Y rides is not uncommon, considering last train for most people is around 11:30PM Tokyo needs to modernize its transportation offering.

Akebono truly had the heart of a lion.

He sadly died of a heart failure...

Another great example of classism from the "elite".

Just pointing out a known stereotype.

That's helpful to elevate the discussion.

Only in Japan would her gender make the headline.

Yeah it's well known that every other countries have full gender equality in terms of CxO representation. But I understand your comment, Japan is far down the list.

Anyhow kudos to her for climbing the ranks from flight attendant to CEO!

It's very timely... John Oliver just covered that topic on his show.

“confidential childbirth” that allows pregnant women to only reveal their names and contact information to medical staff.

Only name and contact information... What's confidential in this?

How much did it cost? Could we use tax payer money a bit more rationally?

Been living in Katsushika Ku for over 15 years never had any problem there. I guess this could happen anywhere to anyone. Have to be careful of your surroundings, Japan or not.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

There was already little to no soul left in Tokyo this will make it even more bland with uninspired architecture.

I would hate for Tokyo to become the new Singapore.

That's 70 years in prison for you creep

What was the name of that website again? Pirate something... the logo was a pirate ship... ^^

Congrats Japan, too bad for France it was a close call. Judo is getting a bit boring nowadays, everything is decided by penalties... Bravo Teddy Riner on his 11th title!

Not sure which was the worst, my phone and wife screaming their lungs out in unison at 4Am or the relatively mild earthquake which would have probably not woken me up.

To be noisy at 3PM is ok I guess (depend on how noisy of course and your tolerance level, which is extremely low here)... 3AM would have been a different story.

My main beef with noise in Japan is 1. inexistent insulation 2. ambulances/fire engines/police cars... Do the entire neighborhood need to know there's an emergency at 2AM?? Sirens should alert the crossing surroundings not half the town

How much carb do you want?

 Thankfully people here wont go crazy about those who choose to continue to wear them.

And thankfully the same about people who decide to not wear them anymore...

Guess they did not got the memo... 99% were masked, I was the 1% (baka gaijin I guess...)

The fact that the Switch was released in 2017 with little to no innovation since (switch lite and LED only) could also explain it. Lack of new exciting games too, where are you Metroid Prime??

Would like to see the people of Japan protesting a bit more their discontent (if they indeed, do disagree)... qui tacet consentire videtur

What a friend!

2 fast 2 furious

If that's not nepotism, I don't know what it is...

They just should agree on what is acceptable to put on a pizza, corn and mayo=no!

Also get the recipe for real carbonara...

That would be a more useful summit.

will play a Jan 19 friendly

By "friendly" please understand money. I know you know but just in case...

I think that they could spend this time on some productive things than racing through the gates of shrines to get a barrel of sake.

Like racing to work?

Allez les bleus!!

Did you mean Oriental Land?
