Hey guys, I think we might have been wrong about NK all along. Such a deliriously happy place. I wonder if I can have my Social Security checks directly deposited there?

Near-complete condo to be torn down as it blocks views of Mt. Fuji.
I think this is a normal decision if the owner does not mind such extra costs.
The owner, Sekisui House, would have thought that such extra costs would be a good investment to improve corporate image as one of the largest condo developers.

US envoy calls for Japan's help to quickly replenish US missile inventory, repair warships

US envoy calls for Japan’s help to quickly replenish US missile inventory, repair warships

The U.S. ambassador to Japan says the United States needs Japan’s help to quickly replenish missile inventory and repair warships as conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine continue and Washington seeks to keep its deterrence credible in the Indo-Pacific.

In 1951 when Japan and the U.S. signed the security treaty, the U.S. waived claim for the war reparations generously but, instead, requested Japan to pay necessary costs for the maintenace of U.S. military facilities and the welfare of U.S. personnel in Japan. This was same as an endless debt with no maximum amount to pay but few noticed it due to the poor economic situation at the time. After 73 years, Japanese people seem to begin to notice this trick for the first time news by news.

I think this news shows a limitation of Japanese mental capacity for visitors. Tourism itself will be cooled down soon.

It just makes it extra special a must. Look at all the expensive brands. No shortage im buyers.
