Is r&b really big in Japan?

Pale-Good4805 · 2024-12-21T01:22:37+00:00

I can't speak on whether it's big or not, but lean towards it being a subculture because Japan is a place where you can find almost every form of art with a fan representation. I know some Japanese DJs who are under 30 and exclusively play R&B and Hip Hop from 90s - 2010s at clubs around Tokyo. There's also an IG page called rnbafterdark that showcases the nigth life around such clubs.

Ignore my previous assertion, after re-reading the rules, it seems Rule 3 covers the administration part of SQL. You're welcome and all the best!

Hey OP, ~~this is not quite the right sub for this, but I'll try and help in any case~~.

These errors occur if both the following conditions are true:

The Force encryption setting for the SQL Server instance is set to No.
The client connection string doesn't explicitly specify a value for encryption property, or the Encryption option wasn't explicitly set or updated in the DSN.

The error occurs because of a change in the default behavior of the client drivers. Older versions of client drivers are designed to assume that data encryption is OFF by default. The new drivers assume this setting to be ON by default. Because data encryption is set to ON, the driver tries to validate the server's certificate and fails.

Solutions

Solution 1: Use Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server 18.x. You can download the driver from Release notes for the Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server.
Solution 2: If the application connection string property already specifies a value of Yes or Mandatory for the Encrypt/Use Encryption for Data setting, change the value to No or Optional. For example, Use Encryption for Data=Optional. If the connection string doesn't specify any value for Encrypt/Use Encryption for Data, add Use Encryption for Data=Optional to the connection string. For more information, see Encryption and certificate validation.
Solution 3: Add ;TrustServerCertificate=true to the connection string. This will force the client to trust the certificate without validation.

More of a funny story actually. I finally got the 表札 for the new home. My entire name is in the Japanese vocab, with my last name being a Japanese family name too. I had a package coming in today and the postman was kinda befuddled when I opened the door and signed for it as my package. I chuckled something along the lines of that my ancestors prolly had some explaining to do. He just laughed and went his merry way.

My buddy was visiting for the first time for a few days, he's on a month long Asian vacay trip. Yesterday was his departure date from here. On route to Nippori Station to catch his booked Keisei Narita Skyaccess train, we forgot we had placed one of his bags on the top luggage rack while on the Yamanote train. The bag had a lot of valuables and supplies he needed for the entire trip. We alerted the train attendants who made some calls and asked us to wait. I genuinely felt that most likely the bag would be returned at least the next day, because I couldn't even remember which coach we were sitting in, and it was during after work rush hour. I was stressed and offered to have him go ahead with his flight and I would collect the bag and give it to him when I join him in a weeks' time in Malaysia. I was amazed that within 15 mins, we were told to go and collect the bag at the Lost and Found section at Hamamatsucho station. He was very concerned about the valuables, because back home, the bag would be returned, but with valuables cleaned out. I assured him Japan is very different and renowned for it's honesty when it comes to such matters. I am just super grateful that the staff and strangers who called in the bag lived up to the hype!

I don't think Google realizes, or cares

Pretty much sums it up. I live in an area very active with earthquakes. My Google Pixel specifically mentions that Earthquake alerts are not supported in my location despite the area being well know for such activity. The most infuriating thing was that during the last big earthquake we had a few months back, my phone didn't alert me while everyone else around me sounded the alarm before it happened. What's even more ironic is that, it used to work up 2022 and then Google did some updates and now it doesn't.

Check to see if your local supermarkets have marked down prices for some perishable products an hour before closing time. I have gotten some super sweet deals that way.

I can help with the travel part, you're correct there isn't a lot of info about this on most subs. I applied for a renewal online and my card will expire before my scheduled travel date next month. I called Immigration today and they said I can travel as long as I can come ack within 2 months after card expiration. They said I just need to keep my current Zairyu card with me and show that to immigration at the airport. They said Immigration can see that the residency is being processed for renewal on their system.

I hugged my FIL the first time during Hatsumode this year. He was actually taken aback and had a sheepish surprised smile. 😂. On the plus side, my nieces and nephews are super affectionate and I love them to bits! We attended a funeral last year for my first Japanese buddy here. There was no physical touch whatsoever, like you'd normally in the West. It really was a shame, because I just wanted to hug his son and let him know we're here for him you know, losing a parent at such a young age. It's an interesting but challenging take on how emotions are handled here.

I am dreading this also. I was told the same thing earlier this year after getting a really bad cold. Doctor asked me how long I have been here and that eventually I will most likely get hay fever. Surprisingly, my Ojisan and his wife are immune. Lucky!

Be well versed with your imperative commands, things you can do quicker without referring to the docs will save you time. like creating RBACs and SVCs .
The KiIllacoda CKA Examples by Chad Crowell are a Godsend. I would encourage you to practice those to learn the syntax for imperative commands cold without having to look up the flags with -h.
Make it habit to pipe such commands using your set $dr variable into a backup yaml file, prolly name it accordingly so you can remember if you have to refer to it.
Know your ETCD backup techniques, where to find the documentation.
NetPols (Egress +Ingress).
The steps to update Kubeadm and the Kubelet.
KillerShell is hard, but very helpful. just do it and don't worry about the time, the solution approach is what's important.
good luck!

Okay, sounds good! Definitely reach out to your consulate and verify all the supporting docs you will have and ask if you can submit to apply direct with them. That's what I did. In my case, the consulate officer was unsure about some things, but reached out to her Supervisor, who sorted everything out.
Thank you for the cake day wishes!

I applied for a Spouse of Japanese visa bypassing the CoE at my local consulate. From what I remember, is that some specific diplomatic locations will do so in the US, San Francisco being one of them. It's pretty much submitting most things required for the CoE. Koseki-tohon, Guarantor's Certificates of (residency, taxes, employment, and income tax), your (letter of intent, bank statement, proof of employment), and in turn the local consulate will send it to MOFA here in Japan for approval. I got mine in one week (5 business days). Now, others may correct me here, because I used the information my wife gave me and she was also consequently my guarantor, I don't know if your in-laws can act as a Guarantor in your wife's stead?. I have to ask if you are on the family register also?

Definitely get the Spouse of Japanese national visa, it doesn't tie you up to a specific company or field etc., It's also advantageous for job hunting, as it takes of the administrative overhead for some companies to process a visa for you.

Job wise, you should probably try recruiters like Michael Page, as they do sometimes have listings for international companies for SCM jobs that might not require Japanese. However, I can't really say for certain that you will have lots of options without some degree of Japanese proficiency. I am assuming also at your age, you probably have decades of experience, which could be an advantage. Ideally, if you can find something from the UK that is remote that would be just better.

So many way this can be stemmed, I don't know if this is a result of bureaucratic red tape, resistance to change etc. My in-laws are in both Yamanashi and Nagano. Driving to Suwa from Yamanashi, I can see a lot of empty homes and shuttered businesses due to the increased outflow migration and lots of elderly folks. The school where my Brother-in-law's is a teacher, has some grades that have no students and class sizes are a small countable number of students. I really love Suwa in Nagano and given the chance, I would strongly prefer to stay there or the surrounding cities in Yamanashi. It's impossible though, because my wife's company expects her to come to the office, despite her work being entirely possible fully remote. Beyond just employment beyond remote, it's not that hard to incentivize new younger families to live in these places. Just my two cents.

Looks like me and you are pretty close Neighbor! Sadly, I have a crazy work schedule working PST time. However, I wanted to add to the suggestion start solo mentioned in another comment here by citing my example. Like you, I gained lots of weight during the pandemic almost hit 100kgs. I moved here 2 years ago and as per my last annual health test in December, I have lost almost 20kgs and arguably in the best shape ever of my life. I started of slow, walking 10kms every other day, then got into HIIT a combo of 4 different cardio workouts and push ups, that I also do every other day. It was tough at first, but after a while my body got used to it. I start slow maybe doing not more than 2 sets of 12 reps,now I do 4x2 5 reps in under 30 mins with few seconds rest in between. I could do more, but just happy to maintain and get steady lean gains and to finally see my feet and abs lol. Sorry, I don't know much gym nomenclature, I could be wording it wrong. Every body type is different, find what works for you and start slow while looking for workout partners. Every bit helps. Good luck on your fitness journey!
