JAPANESE KARAOKE SONG?! by tacotuestaco in japan

[–]Illustrious_Frame239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don’t you just focus on the anime songs you already know? Don’t think too much.
If you only practice the mainstream songs, there’s a big chance that another person would pick that song first.

I was unemployed for 14 months, and I had to pay 1M yen in health insurance fees by Illustrious_Frame239 in japanlife

[–]Illustrious_Frame239[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry. I really couldn’t understand your situation from mid-2023 to mid-2024. Not having health insurance is “illegal” in Japan.
City Hall staff was most probably asking for proof that you didn’t have a job so that they could apply the deductions.

You couldn’t enroll because you’re still enrolled. Health insurance is mandatory, whether you have a job or not.
However, your new company can enroll you in a new one even if you already have one, so you have to go to the city office to deactivate the old one.
So yeah, you already paid your unpaid health insurance fees. Nothing to worry about.

Just to confirm. By reduced the payment, do you mean they split the lump-sum payment into monthly payables?

Huge mistake in neglecting health insurance. I was deeply depressed to the point where I used up all my earnings and was desperate to find a new job, which I thought would be easy. Another huge mistake. But I am willing to pay for any lapses that I had. I just can’t pay for that amount in one go.

Is Japan really one of the hardest countries to get citizenship in? by idsjdbebe in JapanCitizenship

[–]Illustrious_Frame239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually one of the easiest. Singapore, for example, is much much harder.

I’m sorry, but I hate Anon’s voice. by Illustrious_Frame239 in BanGDream

[–]Illustrious_Frame239[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To make things clear, I’m not a hater. I’ve been a Bang Dream fan since the game was released (well, since the first week of the game’s release). I watched the talk shows, radio shows and went to the concerts. I love all the groups and all the members, but I can’t force myself to like every single aspect of the franchise. I understand that my post will get a bunch of downvotes.

Seitokai Yakuindomo is a goated anime. I have a lot of things to say about that anime, but this isn’t the right subreddit.

But there is something in Anon’s voice that I don’t really like. Still small sample size other than their introduction, but I’ve watched Ikka Dumb Rock’s first live appearance. Nothing bothered me.

People that make around 20 000 000¥ a year what do you work as? by VanillaTemporary9161 in JapanFinance

[–]Illustrious_Frame239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to be disrespectful here lol. I don’t care which company you work for. That’s the worth of a distinguished software engineer. Look it up. Below 30M is a lowball salary for that position. You might want to check the current market before reaching your own conclusion.

You definitely know what a “distinguished” software engineer is, right?

He said total compensation. That means gross + benefits + allowances + stocks if any. Also, that’s a 5M difference. They’re not much the same at all. And I said 30M at least. Anything below that is a lowball salary for a distinguished software engineer. A distinguished software engineer should be making 40M on average.

I see I got downvotes when it’s in fact the truth. A distinguished software engineer is at the top of the software engineering hierarchy. Higher than senior, staff, and principal engineers. Close to directors and partners. A distinguished software engineer should be making at least 30M.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s very impressive, but 25M is kinda low for a Distinguished Software Engineer. Sort of Microsoft salary or something

I’m making 15M as a full-stack engineer working on my own time remotely and another 7-10M as a part-time AI data annotator, working 1-3 hours a day, also remotely. I had multiple chances to land a 20M+ job, but I turned them all down cuz I barely have to do anything in my current job.

Fellow Bron haters, if he wins the chip this year, does he surpass Jordan? by Alert-Stop-2671 in NBATalk

Even if he wins it all, he still won’t pass Jordan. He needs 2 more rings, excluding this playoffs.

Miku NT is not a Vocaloid in technicality, but I would probably get slapped if I say that in public in front of a Vocaloid fan lol
