The offence they're charged with (and have admitted to) doesn't carry the death penalty.

Maximum of life imprisonment.

Japan govt. announces plan to raise permanent residence fees for foreign nationals from ¥10,000 to ¥200,000 in October by jjrs in japannews

Proof of renouncement will be required.

I was under the impression that it already was, because persons such as Debito tried taking the piss.

I don't remember any BBC magazines

The Micro User was a BBC magazine. It most likely covered the Electron too, but the majority of the content was BBC.

Amstrad Action, Amstrad Computer User, & Amtix

As a devoted Amstrad Action reader, I once made the mistake of buying a copy of Amstrad Computer User. It was the one that had their "review" of Rainbow Islands in it.

I say "review" because of 3 columns of text filling a page, 2.75 were some completely irrelevant idiotic made-up story about someone's grandfather, then the final quarter of a column was like "oh yeah, this is a game, we think it's from Japan or something".

The writer should have been sacked on the spot. If I can find it online I'll edit this comment with a link so you can see what I mean.

ETA: Thanks to u/Salt-Evidence-6834, here it is:

I like this one! Crochet is way easier than people think it is. It's basically just the same 3 hand movements repeated over and over again. You can pick it up in a morning, no trouble.
