Just started this month. Looking at your smartphone while riding is the most expensive, ¥13,000 I believe.

¥5000 fine, by the way. And since you'd be Riding While Foreign (RWF), good chance the cops would grab you first.

PERSON FROM OFF-PANEL: Oh no. PERSON 1: We tried to stop them, but the league is set on an expansion.

Thanks. No problems, though. We're all either inland far enough, or on the opposite coast.

7.4 quake around the area of the big 3-11 quake. Level Shaking of 2 here in Sapporo. TV is all tsunami warnings.

I realize people like this will get more reach than the best thing I ever post, but for fuck's sake...The algorithms have ensured we are served nothing but shit on top of shit.

As someone who dined alone a million times in Japan, there is no secret.

1) Go to restaurant

2) Order food

3) Eat

Our next stop was a neighbourhood known as Little Italy.

Fiddly decal time.

Oh, they're rare, but there still are "traditional" Asian women like that. They just want absolutely nothing to do with foreigners, though.

People who still think this about Jspanese women have never actually met a Japanese woman.

"We're all just teenagers."

Stop asking for [insert title here] remake.

Have a pair of pliers and a rubber band? Then you've got a makeshift clamp.

If you get gigged by the cops, DO NOT pay them the fine. A junior high schooler in Hokkaido got scammed out of ¥5000 by someone pretending to be a cop, giving him a ticket, then taking the fine.

You've got within one week to pay at either bank or post office.

I'll sometimes intract with a fandom, but I totally steer clear of those in fandumb.

As usual, Japan's far right accused a criminal - this time, the stepfather who murdered his son in Kyoto - of being Chinese w/o evidence. But a Taiwanese TV station echoed the disinformation polluting X, forcing them to apologize later (the suspect's Japanese).

Japan Confirms Ainu Indigenous Rights After Right-Wing Politician's Statement Ainu rights are in the news again after the head of the Conservative Party of Japan questioned their indigenous status.

The Ainu inhabited Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands for roughly 20,000 years before significant Japanese colonization. Their population declined from an estimated 50,000 in 1600 to around 20,000 by 1800.

Kotobagari: The Banned Words of the Japanese Language - Unseen Japan It's often said that there are no swear words in Japanese. But while profanities may be rare, taboos - and banned words - abound.

During WWII, English loanwords disappeared from Japanese media due to kotobagari (word hunting). Baseball became "yakyu" (field ball), soccer became "shukyu" (kicking ball). Only baseball terms stuck.

Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters are leading the league in homeruns as a team, but they're in 4th place.

Because they're also leading the league in errors as a team.

Japan is the land of capsule toys - they're a top tourist draw. But a new survey by Hamaru Research of 35,866 people found that 90% of them either hate or "strongly" hate "random" merchandise. The same haters, however, admit they keep buying them.

Everything except the original series and DYRL movie.

It's from a Macross pachinko game from 2009.

And we just paid our property tax using accumulated Rakuten shopping points.

I'm glad I live in Japan.
