Usually though the death penalty is imposed when there are multiple victims, not one. Former PM Abe’s assassin for example got a life sentence.

I think Tubular Bells was the very first album on 8 Track I bought for our new stereo system, so 1977 sounds about right. We then used to play it in my friend’s Volvo station wagon — which yes had an 8 Track player — when we went driving around on Fri/Sat nites. The NJ of my youth. . .

Guessing the earring girl may be feeling a bit worse based on the ongoing Osaka museum exhibition: “we sincerely apologize again for the inconvenience and trouble caused to many customers due to the unstable system operation caused by high traffic” seeking tickets

Yesterday Bloomberg reported Sapporo was moving some production from Canada to the U.S. to avoid tariffs. So they won’t be able to claim it’s “Imported” anymore. Asahi used to license Super Dry production to Molson & used the “Imported” labeling, I recall; wonder if they will follow suit.

Once upon a time, Reggie Jackson said if he played in NY, they’d name a candy bar after him. And so it happened. I wonder if Yamamoto Yoshinobu said the same about playing in LA & beer?

Osaka Naomi’s U.S. Open entrance and court outfits really something. The announcers mentioned she had an NBA player theme for her outfit, which was all black. So no Lakers or Knicks love

In Japan, if you search “Lake Ontario”, it comes up as “Lake Ontario (Lake America)”. But if you search say “Rochester, NY”, the lake is styled only as “Lake Ontario”.

At this Kamakura construction site, the ratio is seems 2:1, although the women’s is a “Flower Toilet”, and pink.

I note the store sign displays the US flag. Jumping on the 51st state bandwagon?

Not sure if it was real or not, but I did see a video yesterday on here of Secretary of War Whiskey Pete saying he hasn’t washed his hands in years

From all reports, that was the correct approach. I did try “Nope” soda though. Once for that was enough but I did finish it.

Probably some company that the Cool Japan fund invested in made these, so you know the NPA had to buy them

Maybe it’s to shovel it in before it melts kind of idea? I’ve never seen such a table setting thingy.

Not a shaved ice consumer but do they usually come with a mini shovel as the eating implement ?

Franklin & Marshall sued the Italian clothing company of the same name that copied their logo in addition to the name on things like sweatshirts. Eventually settled. Don’t see the brand much in Japan anymore these days though.

Spending way too much time on this, but I would not want the “bedroom” that provides the access to one of the toilets.

Vincent Tritto @vtritto.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Perhaps the windows are the ingress & egress, so depending on age & agility may not be stuck.

And one closet (I do see two toilets but only one ofuro.)

Well tattoos are tangible visually after all and so that doesn’t comport with intangible onsen culture

The war games the Chinese (and the Russians) on actions against Taiwan and the environs possibly never assumed emptying this part of the Pacific before. Truly living in interesting times.

“Perimeter” is used a few times in Pirro’s motion to dismiss in the Reflecting Pool case, so it may have been a word he first learned of today.

From the looks of this establishment at least, its usage pre-dated their recent home break-in proclivities.

Probably not the best marketing symbol in Japan these days, unless it’s going for the “🐻/ NYC visitors ≠ dangerous” view.
