Setting aside the fact that the idol industry is sexually exploitative and a 17-year-old shouldn’t be allowed to be part of it in the first place, Japan desperately needs to have laws that ban companies from controlling idols’ personal lives.

Recently, new Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae said she wants her government to revisit limits on work hours. Her party has endorsed, not “work reform” (働き方改革; hatarakikata kaikaku), but “will to work reform” (働きたい改革; hatarakitai kaikaku).

With all these changes that’s targeting foreign residents, it’s looking a lot less appealing for me to move back to Japan as early as April 2028. So that means I gotta continue to stay in…America, where it’s just as bad, if not worse? A DeLorean Time Machine would sure come in handy right about now

It used to be a facet of Japanese nightlife that you could only access if you spoke Japanese. But in the past few years, more companies have been offering tours of Japan’s famous snack bars. Here’s why this post-war trend is taking off among visitors.

Converse Japan crafts three new shoe styles that let you show off your love of Japanese culture and cuisine.

Despite some recent trends, boozing it up in Japan is an almost assumed venue for "nomi-nication" (drinking communication). So, you may be surprised that there once was a concerted effort to bring Prohibition to the decidedly non-Christian nation. buff.ly/iYbOan5

A combination of crowds and a chronic labor shortage is spelling trouble for Japan's restaurants. A new government report highlights just how close many restaurant managers are to crossing the so-called “death by overwork” line.

[Insider] Japan's gender gap is bad, making it 114th out of 148 countries. For the first time, the country has a female prime minister. A majority of men think this means good things for women. Women? Not so much. (Subscriber content)

The main hall of Shuri Castle in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture, which was destroyed in a fire in October 2019, has largely regained its iconic appearance after exterior reconstruction work came close to completion in July.

With this revised civil code, it does make me wonder how much things would’ve been different if this was around when my mother divorced her first husband and both of them had joint custody of my older brother. Would my mother have still met my father and gave birth to me? 🤔

The Japanese government approved an ordinance to enforce the revised Civil Code, which includes the introduction of a new joint child custody system for divorced parents, next year.

Two years ago, Nick Fuentes was so toxic that, after I reported on a secret meet he had with a top Texas GOP donor, the party was engulfed in scandal and voted to explicitly ban Holocaust deniers/Neo Nazis. Today, Heritage Foundation effectively said that "no enemies to our right" includes Fuentes.
