    Virtuoso There's also a small chance that if you do well at your part-time job, the company will offer improved terms to retain you, and possibly even offer training. ............................................................................................................................................................

    Not many companies are interested in improved terms for part time workers. All they want to do is employ people on the cheap. Nearly all part time jobs are only temporary, arranged by brokers who take their cut and people have no long term prospects. I know of someone who spent most of her time going for interviews as the work was always short term. No real job security at all. Minimum wage in Japan is slave labour. Not everyone can become executives.

    Even with a low paid job in Japan, they would be hard pressed to even make the pension payments, and if they do make payments but are unable to meet all the required months to be paid, the government will steal the lot. Unless you are fortunate enough to score a salaried job, there s little incentive to work for a pittance. This is now a huge problem in Japan.

    Even if the were able to get a part time job they wouldn't have enough money to rent on their own with Japan's pitiful wage structure.

    kimuzukashiiiiiMay. 18, 2013 - 07:45AM JST Actually these guys are stealing the cans. It is actually a crime. People who recycle (put out their cans on the correct day, etc) are doing so under the order of the city they live in, and the city are the ones who pay for collection. These guys should not be praised for what they are doing........................................

    These poor guys are homeless and without an income. Most likely no pension as well. The real crime is the Japanese system which forces people in to this position. Don't deny these people from collecting these old drink cans. With the way aluminium is priced these days, they would be lucky to even get 300 yen for a whole bag.

    The poor guy is most likely broke, no job, or if he has one it could be in Japan's great part time working system brought in by Koizumi. A great system for employers to get labour on the cheap and not have to fork out any benefits or pay any company pension payments.

    At 850 yen an hour, or less, who the hell can afford to pay in to the National pension scheme. People have enough trouble trying to pay normal living costs. The lucky ones are those who work for a company with a salary. The company will contribute to a pension scheme. There are now many cases of workers who have had a good job or were self employed and have now hit hard times through loss of income. They can no longer afford to make the payments and stand to lose all they paid in the past.

    All those pension payments that have not accrued the required so many months payments will be taken by the government if they are unable to carry on the payments to the end. They lose the lot and get no pension. Straight out theft ! The government will tell you that your payments are not for yourself but for older people ahead of you. Go figure that out. Collecting pension money from an individual should be for their own eventual pay outs. I know for a fact that many people refuse to pay in to the government pension system because the know that they could lose all if the can not keep up payments due to hardship. I also know that many mothers are paying pension payments out of their own pensions for their grown up children who have lost their jobs. Does that sound right ?

    Japan is heading down the gurgler.

    gogogoMay. 11, 2013 - 06:31PM JST I dont get the system, you pay into it all your life but if you die your family gets none of it? ......................................................

    Totally agree with you. The public are getting ripped off in Japan. In other countries, pension scheme is run out of the taxation system from everyone's income. However. here it is like putting your money in to a bank savings account and then have the bank keep it when you die. Person I know of started a private savings pension scheme and did not want to pay in to the national one. Last I heard, the authorities are going to take it from her.

    Don't forget how the government in the past lost a huge amount of people's pension savings and even now there are people who have made payments and the government claims to have no records of their payments.

    You will not get a ticket if you are with your vehicle stopped at the side of the road regardless of what signs there are.

    Yes, in Japan you can hang out for long periods of time hindering traffic as long as you're with your vehicle. How wonderful...............................................................................................................................................................................

    Perhaps you can think of your delivery man who needs to stop and hinder traffic as you say, while he brings you your goods. Or the taxi that waits for you outside.

    You obviously don't have a car. Perhaps you are one of these cyclists who break all the road rules like cycling down the wrong side of the road, racing across red traffic lights, holding up left turning traffic while the light are red etc., etc. If anyone hinders, it is arrogant cyclists. ( not all cyclists )

    Ummm, perhaps it is to do with the fact that people have businesses and have to deliver and carry things. Why do people in every country have cars ??

    Yubaru, On a separate note, you obviously don't know the street signs and traffic laws in Japan. Better to learn than be sorry.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    You will not get a ticket if you are with your vehicle stopped at the side of the road regardless of what signs there are.All Japanese roads are mainly no parking. There is a difference between stopping at the side of the road and parking a vehicle at the side of the road. I should know as I drive every day and have to stop at the side of the road for drop offs and pickups all the time. I encounter parking wardens all the time.

    smithinjapanMay. 01, 2013 - 07:57AM JST Get these wardens spread across Japan and giving tickets to all the idiots who turn on their hazard lights to park illegally ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    You obviously don't drive a car in Japan, otherwise you would not make this comment. It is not illegal to stop at the side of the road providing there is someone in the car. I suppose taxis shouldn't stop at the roadside with the hazard lights on. Perhaps delivery trucks should find "Times Parking" and carry their goods a few hundred meters.

    Only in Japan do they try and force someone else to pay for another's mistakes. Just like the pension system where the goverment expects aging parents to pay pension payments for their grown up children who may be out of work etc.

    Every grown up person should be responsible for their own deeds. It is immoral to make someone else pay who is not directly involved or just happens to be related. Why don't we send criminal's mothers to jail as well ? what next ?

The manufacturer should try to reduce bad palm oil content..............................................................................................................................................................................

    Palm oil is a healthy oil containing a lot of vitamin E and has no trans fats.

    How did she get to be a judge? Oh, that right, any idiot can become a judge in Japan; no legal background required. Don't need to have been a prosecutor, defense attorney, or any kind of attorney.-------------------------------------------------

    Lay judge is just another name for a juror.

    Zichi After 2 years, and numerous extensive reports, we still get these type of comments? .............................................................

    Yes, It all depends on who's version of events you believe. There is an Israeli involvement which is is backed up by news items from the Jerusalem Post. Things are not what they seem. Check out Magna BSP and the owl cameras that were placed in reactors 3 and four.

    Good! Perhaps they can look in to why one of the reactors that was under maintenance and had all the fuel rods removed, managed to explode in a mini nuke explosion.

    It's the minimum wage that needs to be hiked up. Who would like to work in Japan for 652 yen to 850 yen depending in which prefecture you work ?
