In March of this year, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi met with a representative of Palantir Technologies.
On Japanese social media, there are voices speculating that this relationship between Palantir and Japan may have led to the introduction of this bill.
10·2 months agoThis news reminds us that solar power has been chosen as an alternative energy source amid the power crisis in Myanmar during the civil war.
“It is not like we are using them for clean energy or for some environmental reasons. We are a country with civil war. We are just using them out of necessity,” said a resident in the Bago region.

There is nothing wrong with universities posting pornography.
This is evident from the fact that Japanese universities research traditional pornographic art from that country.
Yes. I contribute to Wikipedia and MusicBrainz.
I wanted to contribute to the online information sources that I always rely on, so I started activities on these two sites.
Offline, I work on organizing 78rpm-record collections left by local collectors.
I like music from before the LP era, and I learned about this activity through local media and decided to participate in the organizing work.

Tamaki Miura, Ryukichi Sawada - O-edo Nihon-bashi (before 1925)
A recording by Japan’s first international opera singer and a professional pianist.
The original piece is a folk song, but the arrangement by pianist Ryukichi Sawada is ingenious, allowing listeners to hear rhythmic expressions comparable to modern rock and roll.
Due to Sawada’s early death, the number of his known works is limited, and there are virtually no other works of this kind of vocal music.
Recently, Sawada’s music has been reissued under the revival label Sakuraphone.

Silent films using tens of thousands of performers and large-scale stage sets will probably never be made again.
This is because modern audiences take sound in films for granted, making it impossible to expect box office returns that match such an investment.
One thing to be aware of if you want to avoid matrix.org is that Matrix communities can restrict federation with other servers.
In fact, the official Codeberg Matrix space has adopted this setting, and I ended up having to create an account on matrix.org again.

Sleaze: “Mon Papa” by Kenichi Enomoto, Teiichi Futamura (1931)
Depressing: “Inverted Type” by Sympathy Nervous (1980)
Drama: Oshin (JP, 1983-1984)
Animation: Shaun the Sheep (UK, 2007-present)
Kids: ETV 0655&2355 (JP, 2010-present)
Special program: TV’s TV (JP, 1987)Of these, the one I particularly recommend is “TV’s TV.”
This is a program in which 100 TV channels each contain small video content, which is randomly introduced within a single TV program, an idea that was around 20 years ahead of YouTube.There’s also an anecdote that Satoshi Tajiri, who would later create Pokémon, was involved in the production of this program.
Johnny Kitagawa’s child sexual abuse was confirmed in a trial over gossip magazine reports.
Johnny & Associates, which continued to have him involved with minors for over 15 years, engaged in organized child sexual exploitation and should be defined as a mafia.
Therefore, all organizations that did business with the company, including ISPs, universities, UMG, and Nintendo, should be defined as affiliated with the mafia.
The only independent search engines that support my native Japanese are Google, Bing, Brave, and Yep.
Of these, I generally search using Brave, and if I’m not satisfied with the results, I search again using DuckDuckGo.
I don’t use Yep because of its strict bot restrictions.Also, on the rare occasions when I need to do an exact match or a search using
site:, for some reason, Brave and DuckDuckGo are useless, so I reluctantly use Google, which is a shame.
As someone living in Japan, I do not recommend QWant, which is recommended in this comment section.As I’ve commented before, this is because the service geoblocks countries that have non-Western languages as their official languages.
I am adding this comment as related information has come to light.
