@LordTash2 @abura_dev Bottom line is it’s 2026 and the Japanese model is outdated. Old people running legacy companies have an outdated view of the world, sell your works overseas digitally or physically or reap no profits 🤷🤷 that’s it.

@abura_dev The reality is that Narou does not exist overseas. Shonen Jump does not exist overseas, so people can't send in questionnaire postcards. Piracy is what fills that gap in America, which is why Western companies pretend not to notice it.

海賊版の話は、引き続き「犯罪なんだから申し訳なさそうにしてろ。堂々とするな。それが役に立ってるとか、正しいと解釈するな。それは自惚れである。自己評価を誤って認識している。あなたは犯罪をしてる人というだけであって、何にも役に立ってないと認識しなさい。」と言っていくだけである。

Big right wing screaming fits online about “foreigners” and other nonsense while the elderly and homeless in Japan need actual help. Wild. youtu.be/A3Jbk49tCr8?si…

@kooriman2 @BrandonKHill That’s hilarious I guess the Starbucks matcha latte image is too powerful overseas 🤷😂

@AfroInJapan @BrandonKHill In my experience, a lot of people do drink matcha as a latte. I’m a licensed guide, and when I tell them that traditional matcha doesn’t include milk or sugar they’re always surprised😘

日本にとっては深刻な問題。全世界で広がる空前の抹茶ブームで、日本の在庫が枯渇。それ乗じて、中国産の「日本風」抹茶が広がる。日本が「本物」でも、安くて品質が十分な中国産が海外市場を席巻する。状態。技術や品質で勝ってても、ブランディング戦略弱いと負ける。他の産業にも共通してる状態。

@nabiruworks Drive safe my guy!

@kooriman2 @BrandonKHill Huh? No one does this 😂 I think you’re confusing matcha with Starbucks matcha lattes

@BrandonKHill 海外の人が砂糖とミルクを入れて飲むなら日本製の本物の抹茶でなくても問題ない。 日本製の抹茶は国内供給量不足が懸念されているので無理に輸出する必要がないのではないだろうか

The number of applicants for Japan’s Business Manager Visa after the stricter regulations have taken effect has dropped by 96% from a monthly average of 1,700 to just 70. The visa allows foreigners to live in Japan while starting or managing a business, but it is now far more restrictive, with the capital requirement raised from ¥5 to ¥30 million, new qualifications requiring at least three years of prior management experience or a master’s degree (or equivalent) in business management, a requirement to employ at least one full-time staff member, and a business plan that must be verified by a certified Small and Medium-sized Enterprise management consultant. Of the roughly 41,600 current holders of this visa, only about 4% meet the new ¥30 million capital requirement.

@phx787 @Shuyaftw @Arin_Yumi 3 years! Not months~ so story is a little suss

@Shuyaftw @Arin_Yumi He should’ve been given a 3 month grace period no?

"if you let our AIs take your jobs, we promise that we - the people who have opposed every form of wealth redistribution for our entire public careers - will give you massive wealth redistribution!" You have to be a literal fucking shit for brains to buy this stuff

現代日本オタクがなぜ海賊版に関して自分らの潔癖性を疑わないかというと、現代オタクがソシャゲとアニメくらいしか追ってないからなんですよ。かつてのオタクはPCゲームや海外コンテンツの猟歩などを普通に行ってたので海賊版とも距離が近かった。変わったのは倫理観ではなくオタクとしての濃度。

This is the most entertaining Twitter has been in years. This mass auto translation is hilarious.

市内で市民の声を聞いてきました。ネットのデマ、レイシストの戯言に、差別的な感情が一部市民にも影響されていることを受け、少しショックを受けました。 「外国人は税金払ってない」←払ってます。 むしろ日本人よりも働き多く納税してる方もいらっしゃいます。 あなたの生活が苦しいのは、外国人のせいでもあなたのせいでもありません。この国の政策の失敗のせいです。 一時のストレス解消や快楽のために、弱い立場の人に当たり差別や分断を引き起こす方がいます。そして最終的には殺戮に発展してしまいます。争いに発展するのをやめさせたくて私は活動してます。誰もが安心して生活できるようにするのが政治家の役目なのではないでしょうか。 本日は #衆議院埼玉2区総支部長 の #増岡そうた くんにご協力いただきました。 ありがとうございました。 #岡本さゆり #増岡してます

Так создайте профсоюз, блин. Ваши враги не пираты за океаном, а ваши боссы

A sad thing happened in Japan An 11-year-old boy named Yuki was reported missing in Kyoto. His stepfather was out on the streets, handing flyers to neighbors, asking for help finding him. This week, that same stepfather was arrested. He has reportedly told police he “lost his temper and strangled” Yuki, then dumped the body in a mountain forest. The boy’s mother, by every account, believed him until the end. This is where most people will stop reading, and this is exactly where the harder conversation should start. Japan has a quiet, persistent problem that rarely makes it into the English-language conversation about this country: children living with stepfathers or their mother’s new partners are overrepresented in serious child abuse cases. In Japan, when child abuse crosses into criminal prosecution, around 72% of offenders are “father figures” — and within that group, over a third are stepfathers, adoptive fathers, or the mother’s live-in boyfriend. Given that stepfamilies make up only around 7% of marriages in Japan, that share is not small. Child welfare data tells a similar story, case after case — sustained beatings, torture, sexual abuse, disposal of bodies. It is not that stepfathers are monsters. Most are not. It is that a country that treats family as a private black box — where divorce still carries stigma, where mothers are often financially cornered into remarrying, where schools and neighbors are trained not to intrude — systematically fails to see the children inside those homes until it is far too late. Yuki’s mother handed out flyers next to the man who now says he killed her son. Japan just began allowing joint custody this month, after decades of delay. But the harder reforms — mandatory home visits, real authority for child welfare workers, serious screening around non-biological caregivers — are still stuck. This is not an abstract policy argument. It is the difference between an 11-year-old going to school next week, and an 11-year-old becoming a headline. Rest in peace, Yuki.

Я ходил на дейты с японками в Канаде и они удивлялись максимально базовым вещам типо открыть перед ними дверь, заплатить за них на свиданке, подарить цветы, проводить до дома.. и всегда жаловались на японских парней. После чтения японского твиттера теперь понимаю

Los japoneses cuando se trata de piratería // Los japoneses cuando se trata sobre acosar a muerte a las mujeres
