@FujikakeRin If the costs of getting caught are death, criminals would certainly kill their victims and reduce that risk. It’s a terrifying law.

The main model for Ishida was real Inagawa-kai crime boss Kanazawa Nobuyuki, aka “The Coach” #TheLastYakuza

@naruruchan @GaijinMommy According to the equivalent saying in Japan "The customer is God". Unfortunately that mainly seems to apply to corporate customers.

I’m watching The Funeral by Juzo Itami and it’s such an interesting film about death in Japan and it’s kind of fun to see that this film doesn’t skirt around letting kids be around death… like seeing their grandpa’s cremains.

@CryptoKrista @jakeadelstein @Marchialy French sounds lovely to me although my comprehension of it is abysmal and I am learning to speak it from Japanese textbooks so I sound very much like a Japanese bumpkin in France. But that's okay.
I'm a Missouri bumpkin as well.

@otakureview @jakeadelstein Thank you!

[TokyoPrivateEye @TokyoPrivateI]

@MLChiBearsfan @jakeadelstein Me too! It’s been a labor of love to write it. I had some great help editing it.

[TokyoPrivateEye @TokyoPrivateI]

@dori_nami @jakeadelstein I hope it gets published in Spanish. Right now, I know it will be in French first @Marchialy and then English.

@PhoebeAmoroso @jakeadelstein Thank you Phoebe! Are you still in that other island country where they drink lots of tea?

The publication of her extreme stances helped Sugita gain a major following from the online right. As of 2022, Sugita is the 23rd most-followed politician on Japanese Twitter. She has over 250k followers. https://t.co/xoIeui0Snb

@SamEvansPR Dear Sam!
Glad to see you are well living free
I feel like I’ve been trapped on a dessert island since the pandemic—Japan’s border rules have been and are still insane.
It’s been years since you handled the UK release of #TokyoVice but you did it so well.
Would love to chat!
