the question is very vague. What kind of TV program are we talking here? the endless talk shows? the family idiotic games? the slapstick jokes and nauseating comedians? the dumb and dumber quiz shows? the edited heavily influenced documentaries? I think the Japan TV system is brilliant? It kept people…

Back in the Bubble Economy, when national and local governments were awash in cash, they spent most of it on tourist attractions that have since gone bankrupt or been sold off. Now they need to upgrade their emergency systems and they have no money.

If the J-Alert system worked 100%…

They spew out high-decibel renditions of enka songs

I believe the tunes are called "gunka" (martial music), not "enka" (romantic ballads). Failure to make such a simple differentiation does not bode well for the assertions that follow.

Maybe all this "We Japanese live together until we marry" thing has its limits. But surely a 34-year-old woman, even one who has gone through the Japanese education system, can figure out how to ignore her father. If living together, move out; if not living together, don't answer the phone/door.…
