... riding without helmets, I suppose. Surely they could have stolen something for lunch too but gasoline would be a bit more difficult.
Maybe it doesn't work that way in Japanese law.

Badly written too. The first sentence should be something like: "Being a musician living in Tokyo, I am asked by many Westerners ..."

kirakira:
You might say I'm pessimistic but should you ever cease to be "together", I wouldn't be surprised if in his view any agreements you made while "together" ceased to be valid in the new circumstances.

Not I. I always check, both directions, even where it should be one-way traffic.
Yes, without waiting in case anyone wants to come out. I always check whether anyone's about to come out so I think (or hope) I would notice if for whatever reason the lift were absent.

Something like: "beware of those foreigners: they're out to rape you"?

Years ago I thought I might try pachinko if I ever found a smokeless parlour. The curiosity soon evaporated.

"Abandoned"?!?
"Discarded" would be appropriate.

If they establish any cause, I reckon it will be insufficient attention on the part of the driver. My guess is that he nodded off. Or maybe he was checking a map, or writing/reading mail on his phone. I pretty sure he wasn't wearing a seat belt but why don't they tell us this? If they did, it might help to convince others to wear their seat belts.

I'm surprised so many of you wish to exonerate the driver. With the little info given, I agree the caregiver was probably negligent, but on the basis of the same information I suspect the driver was negligent too. Every road user has a duty to exercise sufficient care to avoid accidents (and in this country in practice a legal duty to avoid accidents with 'smaller' road users).
There are many narrow streets with insufficient space for a car to pass while a pedestrian walks around an obstacle such as a utility pole. The words 'narrow lane' in the article suggest it was such a street. The driver should be aware of the lack of space in that street, and of pedestrians' apparent tendency to pay no attention to traffic.
I don't suppose there will be any investigation into whether the boy ran out from behind an obstacle, or that we would hear about it even if that were the case.

Why was she asking a friend how to make a database? If that was a task delegated to her, why couldn't she seek help at the office?

If you follow the link provided by Nessie you can find explanations of all 60 candidate expressions.
But I hadn't heard about the diet so I thought 'morning banana' must be something else.

Such irony!
The implication that dishing out fries under the golden arches must be more interesting than taking lessons or chatting with friends! And still healthy at 68, thanks partly to an allegedly healthy diet, she starts selling McJunkfood!

That's nine countries in the Americas and three US-influenced countries in East Asia. About as widely popular as cricket, then.

I'm not convinced she was any good at air guitar or gymnastic stunts. Much more likely that she was the prettiest among the competitors. Once I had the pleasure of being the only non-Japanese judge in a poetry reading competition. The other judges voted unanimously not for the most competent reader but for the prettiest contestant (actually the only pretty one).
