No one cares about Japan Tobacco, as they slowly disappear domestically and seek to expand toward developing nations as a means to survive. Sure they have a small pharmaceutical arm, which after a decade continues to fail at producing anything, and an tiny foods division also with an unsuccessful history (contaminated dumplings anyone?). Just change the name already and move overseas.

You mean "some in the Japanese government" are trying to stop your illegal activities in the Southern Ocean. NOT "Japan" as a whole.
Most of "Japan" can care less about what the mad Canadian at sea is doing these days.

What! I thought this story was about sandwiches. And where I can eat 'em. I see the word "sandwich" and I just go! It's conditioning from being here too long and the lack there of in the country (like Mexican food). Where can I get a real sandwich in Tokyo?

An uncharacteristically proactive move on the part of the Japanese government. It's a big problem that needs to be addressed. Good for them.

Too late. As usual the government's reaction to the situation is late. The time from conception of an idea to its fruition is again belated by the bureaucracy and BS of the systems that be. "Taimingu~" was bad ne... Now we gots to pay more.

How does Japan support all of these new shopping complexes going up all of the time? With the economy and a shrinking young population, the government had better work on attracting more tourists from overseas -- and making the country more "gaijin"-friendly... Not just for the sake of these businesses either, but for Japan's future...

I hate being asked by Japanese people, "What do gaijin think/do/think/feel//etc.?" I tell them the term gaijin (foreigner) accounts for everyone else in the whole world EXCEPT you Japanese on this small island. So it wouldn't be fair to represent all of them with a generalization. Same goes with Americans, Canadians, Australians, Germans, French, Japanese and the like...
