A huge amount of people are in Shinjuku protesting... there have been countless protests since I have been in Japan but I don't remember anything on this scale before.
Have Japanese people finally found something to unite them in anger?

How kind of you to make such generalisations.

Sounds suspicious to me... did they expect him to swim or something?

Used to love the bassline on "G.O.A.T" but hated everything else he has done...

Big fan of Matthew Vaughn's work so will definitely see this. There is an interesting review which seems quite positive here:

I've always preferred Segafredo for coffee - just haven't been able to get into the Starbucks taste unfortunately :-(

The "event" began over 2 and a half months ago... why did they have to wait so long before cancelling? Seems a little unfair on anyone who has already bought tickets.

The dolphin enclosure at Hakkeijima is pretty small... I remember feeling a little sorry for them when I visited a while back.

In fact, if you look here you can clearly see most European countries have reactors under construction, planned or proposed. This article is completely pointless

Is the fact the author keeps referencing Switzerland and Germany due to the fact they are the only 2 that are phasing out nuclear technology? I can't say 100%, but I guess the "other nations" exist only in the mind of the author - anyone have information to show otherwise?
Seems to me like the facts have been written to fit the story here, not the other way around... Plenty of European countries still use (and have plans to expand their use of) nuclear power so the headline and theme is completely wrong.

This article simply suggests they were naive and not properly policed. I agree that they allowed this situation to unfold due to their own stupidity, but stop overreacting.

I have no problem with people exercising their right to protest.... but do they really need to blow whistles and bang drums? That is just annoying and doesn't really serve any purpose to their cause.

Comedies are always tough sells internationally as cultural references and differences can really change things from funny to "wtf?" in a different culture. Doesn't even need to be language based - just look at some of the UK/US differences in comedy!

Don't they contradict each other somewhat?
Moderator: Not at all. Only one person said the man jumped. He may have indeed jumped or fallen or was pushed.
