Wouldn't be much of a threat if Japan hadn't brutally colonized the peninsula for 35 years...yea the reality is people don't really forget those kinds of things, especially if you continue with sanctions etc.

Unused funds then just sit idle somewhere?…seems to be a recurring pattern that a large amount is not used each year

Those are tax funds being misused.

Happens a lot with public agencies.

ＷＷＩＩＩhere we come

Over 1.3 million people have so far signed the petition calling for Yoon to be impeached on the National Assembly's website since it went live on June 20.

Compelling explanation for why Yoon and Kishida feel a common bond.

Whenever you have young GI's / Marines etc you are going to have these type of crimes occurring, so as it's unrealistic to expect the US bases to be shut down, Japan will simply have to do better educating the public about the potential risks that come with hosting troops, and then when those crimes inevitably occur again, you're just going to have to deal with it as best you can.

Promises made always after the fact don't really inspire much confidence.

Some day, perhaps on my death bed, I'll understand this behavior. What in the world is the charge these guys get out of this?

They can monetize the content by uploading to porn sites.

No one should be surprised that Kurosawa is underappreciated in Japan.

All that matters by and large to the herd mentality is what is currently popular, so for example the latest anime being praised here and abroad will always be given precedence over Kurosawa, Mizoguchi Kenji, Ozu, etc.

Even when Tarantino cane out and explicitly stated that Kill Bill was based on Jpn films like Lady Snowblood, no one here really bothered to give that film its due respect and appreciation.

Great to see her selfless sacrifice is getting the recognition it deserves.

When the initial news of this incident was posted it was overlooked and ignored.

Great that this womans sacrifice has been recognized.

Yes terrible attack, no one going to mention the Chinese lady who put herself on the line and prevented serious injury to the mother and child?

She now is in critical condition but no one acknowledges her, who knows it may damage the narrative that all Chinese are anti Japanese and terrible people in general.

Well okay perhaps if war criminals who have also introduced and supported scammer cult groups weren't restored to power the issue would be much more manageable.

Take a guess

Good on him.

Good on him for escaping the nine to five grind and succeeding via something he loves

Of course any sentiment that goes against the popular narrative will be shot down regardless of ehat evidence there is for it doubly so as an election is coming up

As she said, she was just trying to bring people together through food. She had items from both Russia and Ukraine, as well as other countries, which no doubt was a godsend for people who hailed from Armenia etc.

No reason to hate on that.

And yet another.

Conservatives and their opposition are locked in unending feud and conflict, as the Korean War continues to rage on ideologically and was never resolved.

Owing to this, both sides are forever trying to injure and ensnare each other by hook or by crook, and one can never be sure as to what is real and what is fiction.

Somehow not so surprising.

Police in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, have arrested a 31-year-old man, who is on trial for violating the Child Prostitution and Child Pornography Prohibition Law for having sex with multiple children and filming the acts

Pretty unambiguous here regarding the primary role of porn.

But it still invites the US? not only were they actively engaged in coups,etc, but they are the ones that nuked the Japanese cities. Why does the us get a pass

Ok good point but it just goes to show how independent a country Jaoan truly is...in other words there was never any choice regarding this.

Send him back to Korea.

How'd you confirm he's Korean.

Plenty of Japanese in the Unification Church.

Everyone should get behind putting together some form of reconciliation, before everyone gets sucked into something that spirals out of control (we already know what that leads to- a reconciliation at a later date after millions more have unnecessarily met their maker).

Nice try Hiroshima, but don't hold your breath over this one.

All the hoopla about how Yoon +　Kishida was a formula for success have been torpedoed by the reality of their lame duck status.

Basically as usual they said a lot but delivered little.

Fallout from Abe's defining moment continues its ugly course

The girls, ages 9 to 17, were inside the theater. The man, unprovoked, suddenly attacked them "without saying anything and without any warning” before running out

What is this world coming to.

There were no immediate details on the target, but footage from the scene showed heavy destruction. The Israeli army said it was unaware of anything occurring in the area.
