[Japan Times] Komeito chief suggests not releasing Fukushima water in swimming season Komeito leader Natsuo Yamaguchi said Sunday it would be better not to start the planned release of treated water into the sea from the crippled Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant during the upcoming swimming season. "It's important not to invite negative rumors," Yamaguchi told reporters in the city of Fukushima. Komeito is the coalition partner of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. The government plans to start releasing the once-contaminated water from Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings' plant in Fukushima Prefecture this summer. The facility was the site of the March 2011 triple meltdown. == rest: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/07/02/national/radioactive-water-release/ _ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key dan...@panix.com [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded]

[AFP via Yahoo!] Clinical Japan, slick Spain surge into Women's World Cup quarters Japan's surprise title charge at the Women's World Cup gathered pace with a clinical 3-1 win over Norway to reach the last eight while Spain thrashed Switzerland 5-1 on Saturday. The 2011 champions Japan will face either holders the United States or Sweden in the quarter-finals and on this evidence they will take some stopping. They have won all four games in Australia and New Zealand -- including a 4-0 thumping of Spain -- scoring 14 times and conceding only once. Hinata Miyazawa is also quickly becoming one of the breakout stars of a World Cup which has been full of shocks. The 23-year-old got the third nine minutes from time to seal Norway's fate in front of 33,000 in Wellington. She is now the tournament's top scorer. == rest: https://sports.yahoo.com/slick-spain-crush-swiss-norway-080103699.html anticpating a huge rally in the Tokyo Stock Exchange _ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key dan...@panix.com [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded]

[AFP via Barrons!] Japan Prosecutors Seek Death Penalty For Anime Studio Arson Suspect: Reports Japanese prosecutors on Thursday sought the death penalty for the man charged over the 2019 arson attack on Kyoto Animation that killed 36 people, the country's deadliest crime in decades, local media reported. Shinji Aoba, who nearly died from burns he sustained, has admitted to starting the fire and faces five charges including murder, attempted murder and arson. The blaze that ripped through the famous studio in July 2019 shocked Japan as well as the country's huge anime industry and its fans around the world. Public broadcaster NHK and Jiji Press said prosecutors had sought the death penalty. The Kyoto district court was not immediately available to confirm the reports. Japan is one of the few developed countries to retain the death penalty, and public support for capital punishment remains high despite international criticism. At the start of the trial in September, Aoba admitted starting the blaze. == rest: https://www.barrons.com/news/japan-prosecutors-seek-death-penalty-for-anime-studio-arson-suspect-reports-e7f4f07a _ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key dan...@panix.com [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded]

Seems like it’s a little bit early to worry that the 15-year-old nephew might not have a son (unless they can already tell that he’s a “weeb” who’s more into anime than actual women).
