It's more important to get back to the bottom.

I know, I know, that's not very rah-rah of me. But the dangers are very real - to his companions as well as himself I hope they all get back down safely.

I wonder if drugs were involved. This kind of insane savagery would suggest so.

A handy list for those who are new to Japan and feeling overwhelmed by the number of places to visit. - thank you.
And if you're going to be in Okinawa, the Himeyuri Peace Museum is really worth a visit.

I wonder how big these cans are? Does one can contain 6 full-sized loaves? And is it that after you open the can, the contents keep for 6 months? or until you open the can?
Not enough information.

An interesting article, with some good comments following it.
I am (contractually speaking) an ALT, but have never been on the JET program, so don't know too much about it. As a result, what I write may be moot.
Still, some off-the-top-of-my-head thoughts with my morning coffees:
I agree that the high turnover and the youth of the ALTs is a major drawback. This is where each school / BofE should have a standard syllabus, or selection of syllabi for each school to choose from.
It staggers the mind that JTEs see the ALT as a hindrance, but I get it. For any teacher having to partner up with an ALT, they mostly see it as extra workload, not an opportunity. Most teachers' regular workload is maxed out without adding to it by making them babysit a foreigner.
Then, as the author says, the JTEs don't always know how to use the ALTs. Some kind of afternoon introductory course or workshop, organised by the BofE, would be one idea, before the start of the school year. Some JTEs are probably very keen to use the ALTs, and just need some practical ideas. But chances are good, this would happen in the form of a tedious lecture...
Finally, the humiliation aspect - a lot of JTEs are insecure about their language abilities, and fear the ALT will show them up. I am sure there have been tactless corrections and confrontations in the classroom between a well-meaning ALT and a stressed-out JTE...
The author suggests training-up the JTEs in their language abilities. However, in reality, this is each teacher's responsibility isn't it, to keep up with language changes and maintain their fluency? There are plenty of workshops nationally for this. Teachers in rural areas should start up their own, even in cooperation with the ALTs.
But again, that requires time and effort and energy, which most JTEs have in short supply.

The government and charity groups should be made to account for all the money donated nationally and internationally. All that money should go towards cleaning up, rebuilding, and supporting the areas hit. Anything else is fraud.

A good article, thank you.
I do feel bad when I take a cab a short distance, especially when the driver's at a rank. I always make sure to apologise. And I always say to keep the change too, if it's small coin. They are always taken-aback and a bit pleased.

The more Hashimoto yammers on like a fool, the less likely he is to get (re)elected to any meaningful position of power, I hope. Let him tweet.

Well done, certainly a step in the right direction, and I hope all other cities follow his lead. However-
Does this mean there isn't enough staff to take care of the kids at the centers as we speak? That would worry me.

Miike movies can be very good, and very memorable. I thought "The Katakuri Family" (I forget the complete title) was fabulous - hilarious and just hugely imaginative and innovative.
"Audition" is memorable for different reasons, but once you watch it you'll never forget it.
That said, I haven't watched one of his films in an age, and some bastud stole my box-set of his DVDs, but I wouldn't let these poor reviews get in the way of watching this one.
Different horses for different courses, after all.

Update: I finished this book the other day. A very good read, really. I live in Nagoya, and I wonder where the Palace was located?
So, I would recommend this book.

I dislike the focus and tone of this article.
It's not important what is on the menu, and it's not in the least bit funny that a young man prefers to be in prison than outside, because he's so hungry. Too many people are 2 or 3 paychecks away from homelessness, and once you're homeless and alone, you're lost.
The answer is not to "serve them cold mush" - what a heartless comment! - the answer is to help and support people who have often been failed by society, and get them back on their feet.

@megosaa: そして父になる (Soshite chichi ni naru) is the Japanese title. Outside of Japan there will of course be subtitles, but not, of course, in Japan.

Scathing much?
Whoever wrote this needed a few more coffees and a stroll in the fresh air before editing it. And probably a hug, too. I'm pretty sure this will be happily shared by pairs and groups of high-metabolic teens who like to sit in McD's for hours on end.
Don't be such a middle-aged grouch, RocketNews24Man!

We need cycling paths on all streets. This will be a nightmare on older, narrower roads.
Posted in: Road traffic laws in Europe and the United States are simple, whereas in Japan pedestrians are always exposed to the risks of bicycles bumping into them from all directions...It is time for us to go back to the original point of the road traffic law, where bicycles and cars share the road.

Oh, you poor dears. You have to hold your hands high, what a strain.
Yees, Japanese women should be told that it's all about the men really but they're all too busy watching the film based on the true story of women being abused on the sub-
Oh wait, there isn't one.
Women are blamed for being too passive / aggressive; blamed for being molested and being too scared to react the way you think they should; blamed for wearing inappropriate clothes; accused of encouraging groping; and blamed as an entire sex for this small group of scam-artists.
Sense of proportion anyone?

Great advice for someone who is actually guilty of molestation too - explain how he can get away with it.
Let's not forget that those that are guilty vastly outnumber those who are falsely accused.

@Sensato - Without knowing the US TV series, I would really doubt it. It's not a new idea anyway - baby-swapping is as old as story-telling itself.
Koreeda often focusses on issues relevant to Japan. This film sounds like he's commenting on the obsession on blood connection over emotional connection, and the pressure to have children of one'sown. Adoption, IVF, surrogate births, are all controversial topics here. The Hollywood Reporter reviewer seems not to know about this.
