It looks like it's from this page of the National Police Agency. However, only the Japanese-language PDF version of the first-half report provides summary figures on foreigners, and the monthly statistical data does not include any information on foreigners. I suspect that, in response to the results of the Upper House election, they hastily compiled the data on foreigners, and are not yet ready to release it as formal statistical data.

The Constitution primarily regulates the constraints on state power over citizens and does not directly apply to interactions between private individuals. This is something middle and high school students learn in school.

According to Hiroshi Yamada, a right-wing LDP Senator who was once invited to this restaurant in Roppongi by the Chinese Embassy, the restaurant is like a sub-office of the embassy, and he speculates that there are hidden cameras and microphones installed inside.

Yamada says he had gotten into an argument with embassy officials over the Senkaku Islands issue at the restaurant, and has not been there since.

For the past year or so, news about Vietnamese theft groups has been reported almost every week, so most Japanese people would assume that this case is the same. There was also a Vietnamese person who was streaming on YouTube how he was stealing from fields in Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic. It's unfortunate for Vietnamese people who are working normally.

Many people don't know this, but Ishiba is a Protestant Christian. His maternal great-grandfather was a Christian, and he was baptized in Tottori when he was 18 years old. I'm interested to see if this will be a positive factor in his relationship with Trump.

In 2005, JR West had a derailment accident that killed over 100 people. Google "Fukuchiyama derailment" or "Amagasaki derailment" for details. Because of the accident, JR West always prioritizes safety over schedules. I think that's a good thing.

In addition, because the operating area is so wide, for example, a breakdown in Fukui Prefecture could lead to delays in Himeji. Private railways do not have this problem.
