It’s not straight up new, but a conversation about some of the more famous scandals in Japan along with some trite cultural insight.

A man demonstrates his frustration with the Japanese government, really sending a message. Then we get some world cup shenanigans that end up in … murder.

A soccer player pulls a red card and it seems to have become mandatory that underwear theft is mentioned at least once every 3 episodes.

The leader of Aum was executed, a professor stands by his hobby and a yakuza organization decides to stand by it’s yakuza principles.

It’s all the news.

How did these kids get caught?

Japanese crime: Stalking, it’s not good.

Other crimes, committed by people pretending to be not Japanese.

I dip back into the panty theft and the Japanese Prime Minister refuses to answer any questions about it.

Crane games are a staple of arcades. And scams.

Buying tickets for concerts is a staple of youth. And scams. And fake identities.

Japan uses too much plastic.

Kids are getting older younger.

It makes sense if you listen.

Be the best ninja.

The aforementioned AKB winner

Love Live is an anime with a rabid fanbase. I didn’t bother to watch an episode as this isn’t about the anime, it’s about the real world that surrounds the anime. I still don’t know if Love Live is slang for cannibalism.

The vandalized manholes (make dirty joke):

Trains, trains, trains.

How to chosoe the best way for you to be an idol so you can tell your fans you don’t want to see their faces and get away with it.

The government wants some fox news style biased reporting, I assume as long as it’s pro-them.

Finally, what is cheating? If you and 9 friends have Japanese girlfriends, 3 of you have been cheated on and probably didn’t know it.

Go here to name a train station.

Visit this news site for the butsukariya video.

A manga artist gets caught plagiarizing, AKB generates more garbage, not just their music.

There’s a castle controversy and lame pranks afoot.

Relevant media:

The cover drama

The university students who should have known better.

The AKB song mentioned within

The tweet about the actual garbage.

なんか、AKBの総選挙投票券のついたCDが既に大量に廃棄されてるらしい。
資源の無駄だし、CDなくして投票券だけ売るとかできないんか？
たしか、前も不法投棄でニュースになったりしてたと思うし…#AKB48世界選抜総選挙 pic.twitter.com/4ynLKHm0zm

Learn what not to do in a Japanese office, Find out that Taro is a dink, literally, that is said. Taro is a dink.

The steam platform decides that all the otaku are gross and takes away their stuff. Then we get into the exciting stuff, like international trade agreements, just like the first Star Wars prequel.

It all wraps up with a good old fashioned cop being dumb, or a dink, you decide.

@NinjaNewsJapan

Some super scientific survey results, a Nanpa school that nobody should go to, which is all of them. We meet a crow and learn about the law. A man fakes his death and he learns about the law and finally a Yakuza clearly doesn’t understand the law.

The original tweet about the crow:
