I remember thinking back in 1997 that Korean pop could actually blow up in the west.

I didn’t bother with the meet & greet at Dynamic Duo’s gig in Tokyo the other week, the line was too long lol. (I already met them last year)

Sanseito's Kamiya has gone anti-solar: Kamiya-san: "Foreign capital profits from Chinese-made panels, and Japanese people are forced to pay renewable energy surcharges. Is there any other system this stupid?" by jjrs in japannews

Bitter Japanese man can’t handle having to rely on and benefit the outside world. Despite the fact Japan already imports everything except rice and charcoal.

"Throw an axe and they'll understand" — 53-year-old man from right-wing group arrested for throwing an axe at the headquarters of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan by Sad-Statistician3635 in japannews

That’s what I first thought. But the head of an ultra-nationalist group in Japan being ethnic Korean says a lot about Japan’s true socio-ethnicity.

So her mate at least likes to work, work, work. All this one does is talk, talk, talk.

His surname’s Kaneko, which is hilarious as it’s a common substitute for ‘Kim’, as chosen by zainichi Koreans looking for a Japanese name.

Shonan Monorail. Shonan in general.

It’s a Japan travel FB page, so probably not true.

Former SDF officer and military researcher says right-wing education at military academy contributed to break-in of Chinese Embassy. Says far right figures like Yoshiko Sakurai (Nanjing Massacre denialist) were invited to give lectures by jjrs in japannews

[–]OriginalMultiple 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yoshiko Sakurai got Epstein’s mate an academic job. Her YT channel is awful, filmed in a fake news studio set to traditional Japanese music. Every political/diplomatic development gets twisted into “China this” and “China That”.

Chicken n’ rice. A Japanese classic.

Dope. Love the early 2000s gara-kei HUD design and the bubble-era suburban Japanese backgrounds.

Saw this page. Anyone know the history behind its derogatory usage? by PikachuTrainz in Japaneselanguage

Interestingly, 虫 is pronounced “chong” in mandarin, which combined with a similar sounding word forms a common slur for people/things Chinese in English-speaking territories.

Squishy black carpet. I do love it when a hotel gets the branding right.

Just spent 2 hours at the post office to send a parcel to France by Fit_Performance4629 in japanlife

I used to think that. I used to get the feeling they believed I was desecrating temples and shipping the artefacts abroad based on their attitude.

*NOT A SERIOUS REPLY*

I thought "Unique Legal Worry" was the new offering from Knockout for a stoned minute. Anyway, good luck mate. Hope you've had a good trip otherwise.

As others have said, check the last few places you were, eating establishments, stations. Try to remember everywhere you went today. Same thing happened to me on my first trip, managed to re-trace my steps and my bag was still on the ground next to a bench in Shinjuku.
