[KineJapan] Kadokawa Arrested

[John Junkerman]

Isn't it remarkable how the Abe-Unification Church linkage, and the
multiple Olympic sponsor briberies have so fully, completely, thoroughly
sullied these two ostensibly epochal moments in Japan's current history? It
makes me think there's a healthy institutional/public tribunal at work,
especially compared to the dysfunctional democracy in the US. It has its
shortcomings, of course, but it hasn't buckled to the strong pressure to
coalesce behind these national pageants.
