Someone care to explain this to me? If the traders are selling JPY, who is buying the stocks? You need JPY to buy Japanese stocks. Are purchases done by domestic investors who already have the cash and do not need to convert into JPY?

It is a shame that a company like Sharp came to this. I really hope it pulls through. But if there is no viable plan to salvage the situation, then perhaps it is better to let it die instead of losing more money on a zombie.

Time for growth seems to be over. Maybe it is time for Japan to get used to the ideas that being stable or shrinking in a self-sustainable way are not actually bad things.

Being a father is not just about providing the sperm but being there to raise and mentor a child as he/she grows. Thus Kato-san's real father is the one who raised him and not the one who is the provider.
To add to this, what is he going to do if he know who the donor is? Knock on his door and say that he is his son and expect that the guy will take him in? That also is not fair for the donor. Perhaps the donor would also like to be anonymous.

Just out of curiosity -
Are there any cemeteries in Japan where the body can get buried instead of getting cremated? There are quite a number of foreigners living in Japan and consider it as their home. Not all of them may want to get cremated when they pass away.
The article also mentions vast majority of people get cremated which - to me - implies that some people actually get buried.

What is this aggressive marketing campaign about this worthless song? Franky, we could do without one less stupid "artist" around. There are so many already.
Hey JT! What is the agenda here? Are you officially supporting this guy?

I am not sure. Perhaps you would like to send it back and give it yourself some more time to think about it? I agree that it does not make sense to have two devices.
I currently have a US Kindle (not Fire - simple version). I was thinking of buying a Japanese Kindle Paperwhite since I am studying Japanese but I think I will hold back a bit. I got a bit of a different concern about what will happen once I merge my US and Japan accounts. Can I still shop from the US Amazon with US prices or will I be forced to shop with JPY equivalent prices. Or it will have no effect at all? I will search some more.

Thanks for the reply Stephen. I checked the Amazon.co.jp for Paperwhite and they actually said that it will have a Japanese/Japanese and Japanese/English dictionary. FYI

Does the J-Kindle have a good, built-in dictionary?
I currently have a US Kindle. Although I do not use its dictionary that often, there are times it is quite handy. Since I am still learning Japanese, a dictionary would be quite useful in this case.

It is a mystery to me why people are protesting about compensation in finance and not about the compensation in sports. These salary levels are absurd. And these numbers do not even include endorsements. If $112 million is too low, how much is enough?

Very difficult situation. For those who are young and physically able, the best solution could be to leave and go somewhere else to start up a new life. However for those who are not young or retired, it is very very tough. Good luck to them all.

So Japanese government is worried they will not be able to sell their bonds anymore? Well, maybe it is about time they did something with that debt.
Also I am a bit confused about this line in the article.
So the risk Japan is worried about is Japanese subsidiaries of foreign banks leaving Tokyo - not the other way around as the title implies?
There is another sentence which also says
But I am not sure if they are too worried about that.

It says that HSBC sold the unit for $ 2.7 million. But the above sentence indicates that the gross assets are worth that much. It does not make much sense that Credit Suisse paid full price for the gross assets. I am sure this business had liabilities.
I do not think they disclosed the sales price..

Nothing surprising about it. Non-voting preferred share offers so that the current directors can keep their positions and the status quo. Woodford can very well give up on any hopes of getting back to Olympus.

Actually I support the Australian government on this. Adults may decide what is good or bad for their health but the major effect of this will be to prevent youngsters to get started and hooked up and that in itself is a great thing.

He is still with the firm and noone has answered where the money went. Just getting him out of the spotlight.
The shares have been fluctuating for the past few days. Speculators are taking them for a ride.
Let's see if they will really answer where the money went in this press conference, but I doubt it.

It is not about where you are, it is about being prepared. Underdeveloped countries have more problems with their infrastructure than developed ones. Japan has constant earthquakes, but they are also prepared against them.
I do not believe natural disasters were high up in companies' forecasts when they were relocating their production, though that might change soon.
