Japan and Japanese

Stock price of FUJIFILM Holdings hits limit up.

Business stream is quickly changing.
FUJIFILM is also known as the manufacturer of Avigan Tablet anti-flu drug.
Chinese government seems to have officially decided its licensed production for the treatment of Covid-19 in China today.

I love that lost shot! That's really cool (and impressive!).

As the season of cherry blossoms comes, people's attention to the virus seems to be loosening.
I don't mind such invincible guys and gals anymore. I only try not to approach them.

The Diamond Princess left Yokohama Port on March 25 for the first time since February 5 to dock the Mitsubishi's shipyard near the port for the maintenance and renovation till May. A ship of legend which urged us immediate preparation for the coming threat of novel coronavirus. She will be invincible again as a cruiser when the world has obtained perfect immunity for the virus. Stay safe, Princess.

As probably my English language is not as good as I would like to, I deleted this post.

I thought Italian capitans were the first off?

He did well being isolated by western countries.

I found this on BBC and immediately thought of this thread. English speakers need to watch it twice - first for the photography and second for the text.
I love my diving and would love to see this
The truth behind Japan's mysterious 'Atlantis' - BBC Reel

I remember reading about a JAL flight in November of 1986 which was transporting wine encountering a series of UFO's. I'm not sure what to make of the whole thing, but I remember jokes about the crew getting into the wine.

My father (94) has passed away two days ago together with all of his wartime memories.
He wished to see Japan without American troops again but this is reality.
Let me dedicate this song "Anata (Missing You)" to him.

 

[michaelmaltby]

Sorry to hear, Shin .... lovely song. May your Dad R.I.P. with honor.

I am saddened to hear of your Father's passing, Shinpachi-san.

 

[Shinpachi]

He was so shocked by the death of his eldest son recently his health condition had got worsened rapidly. When I was informed of father's death, I had ironically finished repairing an old Pentax camera which I and my brother enjoyed together fifty years ago to dedicate. No words.
