Presumably bait, but, yeah I probably wouldn't wear the SS logo in public, even in Japan.

Not really. 1900 is mediocre club-player rating for a male, it's a long way short of having a title much less being a name people would know. In countries like the US where they're sold "for novelty use only", sex toys tend to not have proper electrical safety certification etc. (since they're...

Same reason you'd pay for any other meet and greet. Bao's content isn't what most people on this forum are into but she's entertaining and her viewer numbers reflect that. Honestly wouldn't you get more out of that? A few minute meet and greet over a video call system, is that going to feel...

When you do contract work for a Japanese company on the scale of, like, 2 dudes in a garden shed, they tend to just ask "do we pay you with or without withholding?" and if you said yes they send 10% of what they were going to pay you to the Japanese tax office instead. Though even the...

It was always going to be a third party product by this card game company, and they usually use Kickstarter. They do a lot of similar Dominion-like games so I imagine it'll be another slightly different twist on that same design. On the plus side that means it should have worthwhile gameplay.

Never underestimate how important the last 5% of usability/polish is.

Just having an LLC doesn't mean you're protected. You have to keep your personal and business assets separate and do your accounting properly, if you've mingled your finances then it becomes possible to go after you personally for company debts. It's not really hard as such, but think about how...

The smart move would be one of those Samsung docks or something. But the kind of person with the discipline to do that wouldn't fall for this in the first place.

Presumably they'd handle it like an idol (or wrestler, or Takarazuka performer, or...). Have a tribute event, statements from the family if they want to make them, probably some amount of kayfabe-breaking, probably sell existing merch stocks but not produce any more or do anything that's too...

Right back at you lol.

Not really how it works in Japan. The tax people are friendly, which is good, but also massively biased towards the Japanese - just look at Ghosn's case. I don't know enough about the Indonesian tax authorities to comment, but does Niji even have a presence there to go after any more?

Japan allows you to naturalise without renouncing another citizenship in cases like that where it's just not possible to renounce. Anything about being born there and 5 years is just someone making stuff up though as far as I can see.

Being optimistic, this sounds like a big misunderstanding of Japanese tax withholding. If you're a contractor/casual worker then payments to you can (and in some circumstances must) have some tax withheld at source. But the withholding happens at the lowest tax rate (because the system is meant...

What? Did you pull that out of your ass? You're eligible to apply for naturalisation after 5 years if you meet the other requirements, but it's far from automatic and requires you to renounce your other citizenships.

Plenty of ways. Inheriting multiple nationalities from a parent. Getting a new one by birth. Naturalising.

Yeah, apology is actually quite a lot. But there's plenty of space to express sympathy and regret without admitting fault, and even quite bad companies usually manage that.

Just to say explicitly because others aren't mentioning it directly: the reason you'd do this is it's a lot less bandwidth intensive than actual video. You could run a streaming service for basically the price of doing internet radio, rather than needing Google/Amazon levels of funding.

Clara was one of the most successful foreign weebs, maybe the most. ArcJewel are big, when I saw them it was their own concert in front of thousands. Whereas Tone Jewel are the underground indie level where they're one part of a big live that's almost the equivalent of a western open mic night...

Rich weeb white woman and she couldn't get a date? Jeez, just how fat was she?

First time encountering 和製英語? Yeah it's dumb but this isn't on Riku or Niji, it's a standard term that bands in Japan use.
