The Japanese government denied me entry and held me in solitary confinement for 24 hours over a standup comedy show with 40 attendees… (1/5)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The poster was denied entry for planning to perform ticketed stand-up comedy shows, an activity requiring Japan's Entertainer visa/status and prohibited under Temporary Visitor (tourist) entry. moj.go.jp/isa/applicatio… moj.go.jp/isa/applicatio… musictourjapan.com/entertainer-vi… x.com/nihon_shimin/s…

the worst part of learning japanese is カタカナ until it's ばかり vs. だけ until it's using the phone until it's だけ vs. のみ until it's 敬語 until it's のみ vs. まで until it's 四字熟語 until it's reading the 空気 until it's 日本語上手ですね until it's カタカナ again

was just recommended this album by @miyama_band after sharing some of my favorite albums here on X, and am in complete shock—easily the best new album I've heard in the past year. please show this small Japanese band from kyushu some much deserved love on their new release! 先ほどフォロワーさんに勧められてこちらのアルバムを聴いたのですが、良すぎて鳥肌が立ちました。ここ一年で聴いた新譜の中でダントツの１位です。皆さんもぜひmiyamaを聴いてみてください、絶対に後悔しません！同じ九州の別府より。 thank you @RonoMorph for the heads up!

When I came to Japan in 2008, I loved the convenience stores. These days, I avoid them. Everything that made them great—the staff, the products, the customers—the unique Japanese charm that utterly captivated me when I first wait am I part of the problem

A client quotes a delivery date you know is wrong. Don't say 違います (chigaimasu). It is a flat "that's wrong." Say 私の認識では (watashi no ninshiki de wa), "as I understand it," and then give your date. You offer your version instead of ruling on theirs.
