Japan and Japanese

[Shinpachi]

One of daily news in Japan.

A 90 year-old rich man donated $2.3M to a hospital where he was cared before his death.
His family sued the hospital claiming he was cheated by the hospital.
The amount could have been small for the man IMO.

Another daily news.

Japanese journalist Kenji Nagai (1957-2007) was shot and killed by the local army in Myanmar 16 years ago.
His missing video camera was returned to his family by a goodwill volunteer a few days ago.

Nagai's last moment.

Watching the video with my very bad understanding of Japanese is just amazing, you can tell he had no idea what was about to happen.

It always shocks me when a countries own military fires on its own unarmed citizens. Any countries.

 

[Shinpachi]

Autopsy told he was shot at very close range.
I cannot see any but a soldier behind him.

 

[Shinpachi]

China has no intention to see Japan as rival, says envoy.
They should be always like this as a neighbour IMO.

I would not trust China, they have no sense of honor.

They accuse Japan's increased defense budget as "provocative", yet Japan is forced to increase it's defense spending due to China's aggressive south China Sea militirization and harassment of Taiwan.

This is the same rhetoric the Soviet Union used against NATO's defensive posture, claiming that building defenses against attack was "provocative".

 

[Shinpachi]

Seeing the situation from my neutral position and historical viewpoint, I think that the US has increased the military tenstion in this region to beat back China from the US market for these several years rapidly. As a result, Japan, S.Korea and Taiwan are obliged to spend more budget for the US. I simply see this the US's military business.

China only does after the US and they don't see any goal.
This is what Japan did 90 years ago.

MLB player Lars Taylor-Tatsuji Nootbaar begins to appear in Japanese CMs.
He may be a billionare(in JP-Yen) soon.

One of the most popular Japanese comedians, Kenji Tamura (50), quits his job to live in the US this month.
He says he has been fascinated with the greatness of Grand Canyon a few years before and decided to live in the US for his second life.
We miss him but wish his good health there.

Wrecks of the crashed UH60 offshore Okinawa were lifted a few days ago and are being delivered to the division headquarters in Kumamoto, 772 kilometers (480 miles) north from Okinawa. I think the investigation in Okinawa would have been quicker and more convenient with help of US troops if necessary. Looks like typical sectionalism of beaurocrats to me.

A man from Gambia, Africa destroyed Jizo stone statues in Kobe City and was arrested a few days ago.
Japanese people and authorities are to pay most attention to the visitors from Gambia for the time being as we have little knowledge about his country. We hope this would not be called 'racism.'

That is a shame!

The majority of Gambia is Muslim, so I suspect he was motivated to damage the Jizo statues because of that.

Thanks for your advice, Dave.

Though police does not clarify nationality yet, this another foreign guy (18) destroyed the window glasses one after another throwing stones in Osaka a few days ago too. The more visitors increase, the more this kind of 'insane' troubles increase.

I've heard, NHK, the people of Japan don't have prejudice of religions.
They thrive in harmony with one another. Very civilized. Lessons to be learned!

Judging by the number of rocks he threw, the police response time was very slow.
