There was a surprising murder caused by a police in Japan, but there was one more surprise.
The senior policeman who stoked a woman tenaciously and finally killed is supposed to get 1.2 million Japanese yen, a retirement allowance that is 50% higher than usual case. Lots of claims occurred from Japanese citizens. Of course...
The police killed the woman with his pistol and committed suicide afterwards. What kind of organization gives the retirement allowance with 50% plus to a person who murdered? This happened in police organization of Japan. Can you believe it?
Why? It is said that it's the law. Law. According to the law in Tokyo, it seems that the retirement allowance should be paid except for such as dismissal in disgrace. However, he is criminal. How can he get the retirement money that is paid by tax? Plus 50%? Oh my goodness!!
This incident shows that government organizations focus on the laws more than common sense, tenaciously. Can't laugh...

Middle Class Is Disappearing? Is this an effect of globalization?--from Japan
More than 30 % in total workers is not full-time worker in current Japan. The number seems not to decelerate.
Is Japan totally going to the American structure where the rich and the poor are nearly completely divided? Maybe. If houses are picked up from middle class, America may face a disastrous disorder of society. I hope that America would not repeat the similar situation of Japan after bubble exploded.
The number of car sales in Japan is quite tumbling. The president of Toyota looks puzzled, but he should know why. Youngsters. Youngsters are getting the short end of the stick. How can they purchase cars? Even clothes shops cannot attract people, including youngsters so much. Broke.
I though that Japan is in a bit dangerous situation thinking about the soaring debt, but it seems that America may be more dangerous... while I feel the power of China (though I cannot imagine the depth of their internal matters) or India. Talking about the hope for future, youngsters in China or India may have bright vision compared with those of Japan.
The time is really changing. As history shows, a big country cannot maintain forever. A turn is coming.

Is the Relationship between Japan and America Going to Change? Japan May Withdraw from Iraq? Another Ichiro Shows the Fang.--from Japan
Ichiro Ozawa, a head of Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) that got a big win in the last month's Lower House Election, declined to extend the dispatch of Self-Defense Force in Iraq. Japan media reported.
Ozawa met ambassador Schieffer on 8th afternoon. Shieffer asked him to extend the special anti-terrorism law, but Ozawa said, "This is the war that America started without gaining the international consensus. So, we could not join the operation."
Japan's ruling party is still Liberal Democratic Party that hugely lost in the last month election. Because Prime Minister keeps on showing his incompetence in his position, he is now getting fired by colleagues in LDP.
If there is a snap election in the near future, it is highly possible that LDP gets a tremendous defeat. If so, it's the turn of Ozawa though it cannot be sure whether or not Ozawa wants to be Prime Minister. Anyway, DPJ holds the control of Japan in that case.
If all the scenarios become true, it is interesting to observe how America responds.
After subprime matter, America may face another prime issue.

The Master of Positive Thinking--A Prime Minister of Japan
Liberal Democraptic Party (LDP) in Japan lost with tremendous loss of its seats, but Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, still believes that citizens did not reject him.
The Prime Minister said in a debate between LDP and Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) that got a landslide victory, "Which person is suitable for the Prime Minister of this country, I or opposite party leader?"
Where is his memory? The problem was not only his memory but the ability to judge.
The Prime Minister decided to make a Minister of Farm Ministry who brought a controversial matter about his spending without opening the receipts quit finally. Why didn't he do that before the election? For this judgment, even the politicians in his party have claimed hardly.
What the Prime Minister has done looks absurd. Ironically, this series of stupidity seem to tell us that anybody can be Prime Minister of Japan because this country is controlled by government officials as somebody said.
P.S. I'm sorry if there is a misspelling.
