You need to up your linguistics game. The fact that I answered with a simple "no" instead of giving a reason in itself has a meaning.

It is a mainstream website mirroring the mainstream opinion in Japan so the target of your very valid criticism is the Japanese public, not Apple. Similar would be criticizing Apple to not include foxnews.com in the list. It's not Appl

Love the colours but would have preferred this style applied to a less played out but more interesting visual aesthetic than Tokyo.

You're actually helping me make my point: Even if their own currency gave them the illusion of stability during their lifetime, that can only mean they have no knowledge of history or other countries where currencies have crashed. Henc

Personally, I'm tired of every generation of Rogan-grade meatheads discovering this and believing they're the first ones to realize. The internet now makes all of us witnesses to this phenomenon of badly educated people thinking t

Given that most aspects of Japanese arts were "inspired" (ahem) by Western artists, it's just a good lesson that the shoe can hurt when put on the other foot. I'm pretty sure without Walt Disney, there would have never b

Are you 100% sure you're not a time traveler?

Is it news or post worthy, is what I am questioning. I reckon the reason this got posted here is the popularity of all things Japan on dweeb boards like this one.

Which the majority of Japanese people don't sleep on. They sleep in beds.

Are you a time traveler from the 1940s? You'd be shocked to find out that the norm for modern Japanese people is to sleep in beds, sit on chairs, wear Western clothing, are able to use knives and forks, and watch "Bachelor"-t

There is nothing scientific about this "study". But another good example of what I call the "Cargo cult science" approach so often found in Japan: "We use meters to collect data and make graphs and wear lab coats, s

You need to think outside the box. You can have actually great to-go food without ever entering a convenience stores, even in Japan or the US. This notion that "I want Japanese trash food to be respected" is as hilarious as it is

Yes, Europe has almost no convenience stores, I think there are some 7/11 in Scandinavia. But here's the thing: We don't have convenience stores because we value or food and local cuisines. US and Japan uncultured compared to
