I think I got uninvited to be a guest on a podcast run by an expat in #Japan because she didn't like a post where I called convenience store #food #unhealthy & the same as eating fast food.

Bank account: "Did you just book hotels in Japan?"
Me: "oh i did"
Seems like I'm going to japan, next year!

Japan's AI Reforestation Drones Plant Forests Ten Times Faster Than Humans | Happy Eco News
AI reforestation drones in Japan plant forests 10 times faster than traditional methods using LiDAR mapping and biodegradable seed pods, achieving 80% germination success in wildfire areas.

#Japan 🇯🇵 finally got their first female PM! Unfortunately, I don’t like most of her far-right political views, such as opposition to same-sex marriage, desire to amend Japan’s pacifist constitution, support for anti-immigration policies, and downplaying of Japanese war crimes.

Figured it was finally time to watch Audition (オーディション, 1999) today. Always meant to.

Audition (1999)
Seven years after the death of his wife, widower Shigeharu seeks advice on how to find a new wife from a colleague. Taking advantage of their position as a film company, they stage an audition. Interviewing a series of women, Shigeharu is enchanted by the quiet Asami. But soon things take a twisted turn as Asami isn’t what she seems to be.

Back in 2018, I took the Maglev between Longyang Road and Pudong Airport. The route was so short that the train was only able to get to it's top speed for something like a minute before it had to start slowing down again. The new Chuo Shinkansen is supposed to go from Tokyo to Osaka and be faster than the Shanghai Maglev. I think that's really cool.

Edo Kiriko: Shimmering Art for Your Table
Edo kiriko glassware is one of Japan’s most coveted crafts, prized for its complexity and beauty — here's where to buy it.

(Alltags)Dinge, die ich von #Japan *nicht* vermissen werde:
- nervige Jingles in allen Bahnhöfen und Bahnen, Geräuschüberflutung generell
- (fast immer) überfüllte Bahnen und Busse
- Kleine Zimmer
- sehr restriktive Rauchverbote und sehr versteckte Raucherbereiche
- Der soziale Druck, man könne ständig in ein Fettnäpfchen treten

Legacy news sources in #Japan aren’t doing their part in engaging younger audiences. I sat down with Japan Today to discuss why the new generation is turning to #TikTok clips and #Line updates instead of

What? You didn't see that coming? 😁

Japanese Scientists Recycle PTFEs with Electron Beam Plastic Recycling | Happy Eco News
Electron beam plastic recycling breakthrough from Japanese scientists cuts Teflon recycling energy use by 50%, transforming forever chemicals into valuable gases at commercially viable costs.

(Alltags)Dinge, die ich von #Japan vermissen werde:
- Überall Automaten mit recht günstigen, oft auch warmen Getränken
- Überall (fast immer) saubere öffentliche Toiletten
- guter, zuverlässiger ÖPNV
- Konbini, die immer verfügbar sind und das wichtigste anbieten
- sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Servicepersonal, das (fast immer) auch da ist, wenn man es braucht

From a podcast "#Japan has one of the longest lived and healthiest populations in the world, and let #Japanese startups are playing a relatively small role in the recent #longevity-

I watch most of the #Linus and Dirk shows but this weeks from #OSS #japan is a good one. It's hard to avoid mentions of #ai

I think I've met more interesting western #expats in a week in #Malaysia than I do in a year in #Japan.

An #India-#Japan alliance could prove monumental for the #solar industry. The International Solar Festival at the #OsakaExpo…
