Most people in elevated regions of Japan will use winter tyres with enhanced grip during the snowy season. But since snow (and even ice) in cities like Tokyo is pretty rare, many drivers have no need for them. #ノーマルタイヤ #雪の影響
English
ノーマルタイヤ (Normal tyres) is trending on Japanese Twitter after the heavy snowfall across Kanto. Many drivers are realising the inadequacy of year-round tyres in wintery conditions and are sharing videos of their driving escapades. #雪の影響 #JapanNews x.com/524AzEXRv3gSGw…

This photo of the Hachiko statue in Shibuya is going viral after unknown persons created a smaller, snowy replica! The heavy snowfall in Tokyo was good for something at least. #東京の雪 #JapanNews

I'd usually be right into this but my free time is currently being devoured unceasingly by Persona 3 Reload... 😅

A new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo is dropping later today! Players can play as either Cloud or Sephiroth and take on the Nibelheim incident mission. The full game launches February 29! #FF7Rebirth theverge.com/2024/2/5/24062…

Call me cynical, but I can't help but see Konami's statement mulling over ports of the Silent Hill series as evidence of a fear that the SH2 remake will disappoint fans. Do they want to make the originals available too to avoid upset? #SilentHill2 eurogamer.net/konami-is-pote……

(As someone with tickets for her show on Saturday, Feb 10... I'm hyped!)

It's a big week for Japanese Swifties! The stage for Taylor Swift's FOUR Eras Tour shows in Tokyo is currently under construction at Tokyo Dome. It'll be Swift's first time performing in Japan since her Reputation Tour in 2018. #TokyoTStheErasTour

In my opinion: clear dogwhistle politics painting foreigners as tax dodgers when permanent residence holders make up a minuscule fraction of the population in Japan. Created fully to appease nationalist voters and put blame at the door of anyone but his own gov’t. #JapanNews
English
PM Kishida is legislating to give the Japanese gov’t the power to revoke the permanent residence permits of foreigners who fail to pay their taxes or fulfil other civil obligations. #JapanNews

Oh, it really did decide to snow! Tokyoites don’t know the definition of 大雪 until they visit Gunma 😆 #群馬県 #東京の雪

Crisis averted: The Embassy of Japan in the USA has calmed Swifties’ nerves after some speculated that Taylor Swift wouldn’t be able to make the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on Feb 11 following her concert in Tokyo on Feb 10. #taylorinjapan

Great news for Japanese speakers everywhere! I passed JLPT N4 and can now understand at least 20% of what you say! But please still speak very slowly. 😅

Insane image from The Association of Japanese Geographers shows the Noto Peninsula's expansion following the New Year's Day Earthquake. It is estimated that 4.4 square kilometres were added after the magnitude 7.6 jolt. #Japan #Earthquake

Normally I like to take pride in Scottish companies but BrewDog manages to embarrass themselves on every possible occasion. Scrapping living wage and cutting pay in a cost of living crisis? Do me a favour, skip the Punk IPA next time you’re out. theguardian.com/business/2024/…
