JAPAN NEWS AND DISCUSSION

Daily life in Japan is punctuated by mind-boggling encounters with gross inattention to or tolerance of clearly excessive, unnecessary, easily reducible costs that are, in any case, being incurred and must at some point be paid for.

The whole country is all form and no substance. Apologies don't have to be sincere, they just have to look sincere, and they just have to be done. At the earliest opportunity.
Don't forget what the apologee was wearing, did he shave his head, how long was the press conference, and was his mum telling him what to say or not.
