Japan has taken steps to remedy confessions being forced under duress. As of last year, all interrogations for serious crimes (i.e., trials that will have lay judges) must be audio and video recorded, as well as any interrogations of suspec

The way this has all unfolded is very interesting. From the beginning, Ghosn has employed a team of publicists to manage his image during the arrest and trial. Their primary focuses have been on highlighting the injustices of the legal syst

While there may or may not be an element of Nihonjinron to this idea in general, I think people are intentionally taking parts of the article out of context as justification to dismiss it outright. I mean, here is the quote that is getting

The authors discuss this in the paper's Discussion. The prevalence of ramen restaurants is suggested as an indicator of general food preferences in the regions studied. Regions that have a higher prevalence of ramen restaurants also te

Good faith is required to accept any type of reporting. Otherwise, your question can always be extended to "How do we know that they didn't just make it all up?" The researchers did not report conducting more comparisons and

Identity is a big confound in the relearning experiments involving foreign adoptees. There are quite a few studies looking at Korean children adopted by French or North American families. These children seem to completely lose their first l

You're referencing a scandal unrelated to your original point that sparked massive outrage when it was uncovered. Where is your evidence that it is "established practice in many Japanese companies today" to fire women when th

That's not the case at all. Women certainly quit their jobs due to poor maternity support and childcare services, as well as the managerial glass ceiling, but I don't know how anyone can believe that Japanese labor law would allow

There are two open-air museums in Inuyama, Japan that this reminded me of: (1) Meiji Mura, and (2) Little World. Meiji Mura is an impressive collection of Meiji-era buildings that have been gathered from around Japan, including the lobby of

I think it's important to point out: There is large variation between different locations of Donki. As the article states, floor staff have a large say in what is sold at each location. If you go to a location in a crowded tourist spot

Tokyo Bus Guide is my favorite Dreamcast game. It requires intense focus. A single mistake 15 minutes into a course will result in a game over (small mistakes like going out of the lane or forgetting to signal the next stop will deduct poin

The author does state "I could play the game on my A1000 Phoenix in PAL mode, but I really wanted the NTSC version." The problem with running it in PAL mode is that it won't run at the correct speed (I assume). Most of the ti
