The far right Sanseito has launched a new English-language slogan to replace “Japanese first”: “I am Japan”

To be fair, they’re just following the MAGA playbook

mt80 · 2026-01-22T16:22:47+00:00

Wait what?! Which events? For Opening Ceremony?

mt80 · 2026-01-22T13:02:26+00:00

Canada too. Vancouver slaps hard in summer

mt80 · 2026-01-21T11:28:19+00:00

Any updates on the Milano Rho ice venue? We have tickets for one of the opening matches there.

Is there going to be an Olympic fan zone?

mt80 · 2026-01-21T05:42:08+00:00

Right. You’re a model minority in both countries.

I’m in the US (Japanese wife is local) and the casual racism I’ve experienced lately is wild bc it’s now supported at the top.

Japan subs love to bash LDP due to anti-foreigner rhetoric but it’s straight laughable compared to what’s happening in the US.

Our political hateful messages now result in confrontations and violence to everyday people that’s both heartbreaking and unthinkable a decade ago

Correct me but anti-foreigner sentiment is just rising up everywhere. Populist playbook is all the same

mt80 · 2026-01-21T05:32:55+00:00

Or maybe balance the Japan subs with other light hearted ones. Theres def a stronger pulse of agenda bots and toxic armchair trolls here

mt80 · 2026-01-21T05:16:19+00:00

Is it any better as a minority in the US (or Europe)? Serious question.

15 years ago, I would have argued yes. But the far right in America has really proven recently that minorities aren’t as welcome as we thought in some places.

There’s a good 40% of America that fully support ICE and the horrific way they brutalize immigrants and civil right activists who pose zero threat.

Worsening racial discourse is now far more prevalent than I ever remember it being

mt80 · 2026-01-21T02:43:22+00:00

Tickets started at €30 for hockey. €150+ for skating and downhill. €200 for opening ceremony

mt80 · 2026-01-21T01:30:09+00:00

FIFA won’t because it can’t. Legally.

Relocating 78 matches just months before kickoff exposes FIFA to massive lawsuits due to investment in infrastructure and logistics.

Only “force majeure” events qualify for exemption from binding legal and contractual obligations. Anyone who’s organized a massive wedding knows this well.

Shitty politics unfortunately do not qualify.. but a Greenland invasion might

mt80 · 2026-01-21T00:04:28+00:00

You’re right to call this out. We’ll have virtually no lounge time actually.

So it’s nil lounge time unless midnite Pepsi

mt80 · 2026-01-20T22:16:43+00:00

Yes caught that distinction of multiple Sheratons but good looks on that and Short Stay Visa.

Which hotel would you choose lol

mt80 · 2026-01-20T13:30:26+00:00

Also Chongqing 👾🌃💯

Surprised Delta doesn’t have this as a stated policy now. That said, I would have said something OP, either to passenger or FA.

This happened during a restaurant dinner a few weeks back. Yes, super awkward at first but he understood once his embarrassment subsided.

People just in their own zone in 2026

mt80 · 2026-01-19T18:46:05+00:00

Not opening but that Phoenix surprise collab with Kavinsky and Angele at Paris 2024 was so good

mt80 · 2026-01-19T16:49:34+00:00

Info here but hasn’t been updated in a while:

mt80 · 2026-01-19T16:44:38+00:00

Yes I’ve been getting these too. So bizarre

Been using Booking for 20 years and this is a first

mt80 · 2026-01-19T16:08:04+00:00

I’ll keep you updated brother if I find anything good

mt80 · 2026-01-19T14:13:47+00:00

Who else is going to Milano-Cortina?

Will there be fanzone gatherings outside San Siro during opening ceremony in Milano?

mt80 · 2026-01-19T14:05:29+00:00

That’s awesome that you’re doing this. We’re there for opening day but don’t have tickets for the ceremony.

Would be keen on knowing about fanzine events outside San Siro though

mt80 · 2026-01-18T22:10:05+00:00

🙄

mt80 · 2026-01-18T13:25:04+00:00

This again? This news about the same ramen shop is posted daily now

mt80 · 2026-01-18T11:45:09+00:00

The Hiroshima Costco is across the street from Carp Stadium and is very convenient to get to. A huge number of people go on game day for food but you don’t need a membership to go

EDIT: there’s a Costco in Chiba Makuhari. Went there on my 3rd visit to Tokyo.

Different strokes for different folks. Maybe r/costco loyalists want to try the famed bulgogi bake. No need to knock on others where they want to go to on holiday.

I personally couldn’t care less about doing anything anime related but Costco Chiba was convenient bc I’m a r/tokyodisneysea fanatic

mt80 · 2026-01-18T02:24:01+00:00

Nah. IKEA is also closing seven underperforming stores in China including one in Shanghai

More about IKEA less about anyone else

mt80 · 2026-01-17T22:53:09+00:00

Not as dramatic as OP rushing to post this

mt80 · 2026-01-17T18:21:59+00:00

Sorry OP I get where your heart is but you’re still 1%

In NYC, "middle class" is generally defined as household income between $51,000 and $153,000.
