Why is slurping ok in Japan? I have theories, but that doesn't mean I have answers. 

Say good-bye to beepers and maybe the president of Renault because he's being held in the purgatory that is Japanese litigation. 

More advice for criminals and other tidbits.

The news of the week is a 3 year old power harassment case, excessive touting (which is a thing, I just learned), a study on if young people are knocking boots, and the standard, Yakuza and Disney are both bastard organizations. 

Also, the laws of robotics. 

Lies on television. Thus proving you should only listen to podcasts. Only podcasts. Maybe even only ones about Japan, specifically the news.

We find out that Japanese pilots like to party, so much so it's making you late for whatever you want to do.

Japanese politicians aren't all their cracked up to be, which is a statement I don't really undertsand. 

Plus, two follow ups on previous stories.

The criminally inept return to NinjaNewsJapan. Some laws are changing and the Japanese government tries to find ways to push people to a cashless future so they don't get robbed of all their money at the same time. 

Post Halloween round-up of stories from Japan. The yakuza being nice and the normal people getting out of hand.

Then we learn that what you see in anime may not be the best guide forhow to live your life. 

Finally, your Amazon sucks compared to my Amazon, for the moment.

Recycling, Japanese people will tell you they are awesome at it. The the government will be like "Shit, we gotta do better."

Is smoking Mary Jane in Canada the equivalent of smuggling? Might as well be now.

Also, old people porn and cross dressing.

Don't bring drugs into Japan.

Don't use the word "gaijin" unless you know what you're talking about.

Don't piss off other countries.

Don't mug people.

Don't extort people.

Maybe don't hunt whales.

Idol fans are a special breed, but when you hear about how they turn violent, you have to wonder where they lost the love in their life.

An update on the Mari car and a solution to their problem.

What is the difference between "You know what will happen." and "You know what will happen."?

Do Japanese people WANT to live as long as Japanese people live?

Does Japan WANT to keep making 1 yen coins?

How aful is being the guy to commits (?) capital punishment?

Why did that guy show me his shoulder?

And the big question is answered.

Nagoya, once voted the most boring city in Japan has a place I must go to now. We find out what some people do with all those panties they have stolen.

Yokai Watch gets in trouble for something they could have seen coming. 

Nagoya will have space travel before anyone else...Nagoya!

People can study into their hundreds and one of the things that should be studied is what to do if Mt Fuji blows up.
