A key U.S. air base in Japan's southern island prefecture of Okinawa should be retained even after a replacement facility is completed, and used jointly for American and Japanese forces, a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel argued in a co-authored article recently posted on a U.S. think tank website.

"The decision to close the still-active Marine Corps Air Station Futenma...deserves reassessment," the article in the Atlantic Council said, which also called for renegotiation of a plan to move thousands of Marines from Okinawa to Guam out of concerns that the agreement "risks undermining deterrence" against China.

The article, dated Feb 3, was written by Lt Col Caleb Eames, Marine Corps fellow at the council, and Amy Cowley, assistant director at the council's Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security. Their views "do not represent the policy of the Marine Corps, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. government," it said.

Japan and the United States agreed on the return of the land used for the Futenma base in 1996 and announced in 2006 a road map for realigning the U.S. military presence in Japan, which included the airfield's relocation from a crowded residential area in Ginowan to the less populated Henoko coastal area of Nago, both in Okinawa.

The relocation plan has met with strong opposition from people in Okinawa, with many demanding that the Futenma base be moved out of the prefecture. The Japanese government has said the relocation to the site adjacent to the Marines' Camp Schwab is "the only solution" to addressing the noise pollution and the risk of accidents posed by the base while maintaining the deterrence provided by the Japan-U.S. alliance.

In the Atlantic Council article, the two writers said Futenma is "a superbly capable, safe" airfield while "the replacement ocean-front runway under construction at Camp Schwab isn't nearly as long or capable."

"Washington and Tokyo should keep both Futenma and the replacement facility in Schwab," they said, adding that the move would "maximize operational flexibility and preserve a vital logistics hub for responses to regional crises."

They also said the shifting of Marines from Okinawa to Guam, also included in the 2006 road map, "undermines deterrence by pulling critical rapid-response forces from the First Island Chain, the first line of major islands running north to south along Asia."

Noting that the realignment plan had been worked out in "very different political and security environments," the article emphasized that "China is accelerating its bid for dominance in the Western Pacific and pressing its claim on Taiwan."

The full implementation of the realignment plan "would give Chinese military planners exactly what they want -- a removal of U.S. forces from the locations where they would be most essential in a First Island Chain conflict," it added.

Due to the legacy of the U.S. occupation after World War II and Okinawa's strategic importance, owing to its relative proximity to China and the Korean Peninsula, Okinawa has hosted the bulk of U.S. military facilities in Japan.

In a statement to Kyodo News, the Marine Corps said it is "continuing to implement the realignment of U.S. forces" and noted that the views expressed by Eames in the article are his own.

SUPER-SALTY PIZZA SENDS SIX KIDS TO THE HOSPITAL IN JAPAN; LINGUISTICS BLAMED - TOKYO JAPAN

SUPER-SALTY PIZZA SENDS SIX KIDS TO THE HOSPITAL IN JAPAN; LINGUISTICS BLAMED - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

Pizza, famously, is hard to screw up, so much so that “_____ is like pizza. Even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good,” became shorthand for things in which acceptable quality is very easy to find.

Here’s the thing about something that’s hard to screw up, though: When someone does somehow manage to screw it up, it’s probably going to be really, really bad. Case in point, a half-dozen teens in Japan recently sat down for some pizza, then ended up in the hospital from it.

The incident occurred on January 23 in the town of Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture. On that day, the assignment for the students in a home economics class at Honjo Junior High School was to make pizza, and when it was done they got to eat it. After the meal, though, several students said they weren’t feeling well, and six were in bad enough condition that they were sent not just to the nurse’s office, but to the hospital for examination.

The students had used a from-scratch recipe, with the task for some of the students being to make the dough for the pizza crusts. If you’ve never made pizza dough, you might be surprised to learn that salt is a crucial ingredient. Even if you don’t necessarily want your pizza to have a salty flavor, you’ll still need to add salt to the dough to keep the yeast from fermenting too quickly. Don’t add any salt, and the dough will lose its structural integrity during baking, giving you a flimsy crust that tears apart under the weight of the sauce, cheese, and other toppings.

The recipe the students were following called for three tsumami of salt. Tsumami is the noun form of the word tsumamu, which means to close the fingertips around something. In other words, “three tsumami” would mean “three pinches” of salt.

However, according to a statement from the Kitakyushu Board of Education following an investigation, the students in charge of making the dough weren’t familiar with the term tsumami, at least in this cooking context, and used a lot more. It’s unclear exactly how much salt they put into the dough, but they might have gotten confused by tsumami’s connection to tsumamigui, a combination of tsumami and an alternate pronunciation of kui/“eating.” Tsumamigui means to “nibble” on something, but by extension it’s also often used when talking about snacking on finger foods, where the image of using just the fingertips can sometimes get a little less ironclad.

With that in mind, it’s likely that the students in charge of making the dough took the recipe’s “three tsumami of salt” to mean not three pinches, but three handfuls, and so the dough contained an amount of salt several magnitudes larger than it was supposed to. Regardless of the exact nature of the misinterpretation, the six students who were hospitalized after eating the pizza were found by doctors to be suffering from symptoms caused by excessive sodium intake.

While tsumami, much like pinch, is an inexact measurement, it’s one that’s easy for most cooks to visualize, and only tends to be used for recipes in which the amount of that particular ingredient doesn’t need to be so precise. However, taking into account that middle school-aged kids probably have a lot more personal experience with snacking than they do with cooking, a little more guidance from the teacher would probably be a good idea the next time pizza day rolls around, especially since many students might not have been previously aware that pizza dough has any salt at all, and so aren’t likely to have a sense of how much salt is too much to use.

Thankfully, all of the hospitalized students have fully recovered, leaving them with no lasting damage except the possible psychological trauma of having, against all odds, eaten bad pizza that actually was bad.

JAPAN UNVEILS NEW MEDICAL FEES WITH INFLATION SURCHARGE FROM JUNE - TOKYO JAPAN

JAPAN UNVEILS NEW MEDICAL FEES WITH INFLATION SURCHARGE FROM JUNE - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

The Japanese health ministry on Friday released details of medical fee revisions set to take effect from June, including new and expanded surcharges to address rising prices and wage hikes that have been putting pressure on medical institutions' finances.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare said the standard initial outpatient consultation fee will increase by 20 yen in June, followed by an additional 20 yen increase in June 2027, to account for inflation. The existing 60-yen surcharge, which helps fund pay raises for medical staff, will also increase to as much as 400 yen by June 2027.

In Japan, all residents are required to enroll in a public health insurance program, and the government sets standard medical fees. Under the universal healthcare system, patients typically pay 10 to 30 percent of the total cost, depending on their age and income, with the rest covered through insurance and taxes.

Currently, the standard payment received by hospitals and clinics for an initial outpatient visit is 2,910 yen. According to the ministry, the combined changes will raise the out-of-pocket expenses for patients paying 30 percent by 114 yen for a first visit by June 2027.

The fee for follow-up consultations will increase from 750 yen to 760 yen. For patients paying 30 percent, this means an increase of 3 yen. As with initial consultations, additional inflation and other surcharges will be added on top.

To incentivize medical facilities handling 24-hour emergency admissions and to make it easier for them to secure night and holiday staff, new payments will be added and funds will be allocated more generously. As a result, patients' out-of-pocket costs will increase as well.

Depending on ward type, basic hospitalization fees will also be raised to support hospitals with high deficit ratios.

Additionally, the inpatient co-payment for meals will increase by 40 yen, reaching 550 yen per meal, while daily utility charges will also increase by 60 yen, reaching 430 yen, due to rising prices.

Late last year, the government decided to increase the core portion of medical service fees, covering physicians' labor costs and technical fees, by 3.09 percent, marking the highest increase in 30 years.

MAN ARRESTED FOR CLAIMING REWARD MONEY FOR HANDING IN SMARTPHONE HE STOLE - TOKYO JAPAN

MAN ARRESTED FOR CLAIMING REWARD MONEY FOR HANDING IN SMARTPHONE HE STOLE - TOKYO JAPAN   

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

Police in Tokyo have arrested a 57-year-old unemployed man on suspicion of defrauding the male owner of a smartphone he stole and then handed in to a police station as lost property.

According to police, Mitsuyoshi Nakai is suspected of stealing the man's smartphone at a restaurant in Koto Ward last year. He handed it in as lost property at a police station, and when the owner came to collect the phone, he claimed a 5,000 yen cash reward for finding the phone.

Police allege Nakai stole the smartphone while the man was away from his table.

The crime came to light when the man, upon handing over the reward money, noticed that Nakai resembled a person seen on the restaurant's security camera footage and told the police.

Police said Nakai has denied the allegation and quoted him as saying, "I simply picked up something I found and reported it to the police station, so it is my natural right to receive the reward money."

Nakai has reported lost items to police stations in Tokyo more than 60 times, and police are investigating whether he has used the same method in all those cases.

OSAKA

Police in Kadoma City, Osaka Prefecture, have arrested a 46-year-old man on suspicion of dangerous driving resulting in the death of an 82-year-old man on a bicycle in a hit-and-run incident.

According to police, Takeshi Yabuuchi, a company employee from Osaka City, is accused of hitting and killing Hisaji Matsuda at around 5:30 a.m. Sunday on National Route 163 and then fleeing the scene, NTV reported. Matsuda was found lying on the road near his bicycle.

Police said Yabuuchi has denied the allegation and quoted him as saying "I remember hitting a rock or something, but I didn't recognize it was a person."

Police said Yabuuchi’s vehicle was identified using footage from nearby security camera. He was on his way to work in Nara Prefecture.

Matsuda was riding his bicycle when he was hit, and his dashcam captured him falling over in the passing lane of a two-lane road. A driver in the opposite lane stopped and asked Matsuda if he was OK, to which Matsuda replied, "I'm OK." A few seconds later, he was hit by Yabuuchi's vehicle, which was coming from behind.

TAIWANESE DIVER DIES AFTER SEARCH AT 1942 MINE ACCIDENT SITE IN JAPAN - YAMAGUCHI JAPAN

TAIWANESE DIVER DIES AFTER SEARCH AT 1942 MINE ACCIDENT SITE IN JAPAN - YAMAGUCHI JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

YAMAGUCHI, Japan

A Taiwanese diver suffered a seizure and died on Saturday while taking part in a search for remains at the site of a 1942 undersea coal mine disaster in western Japan that killed 183 people, including 136 Koreans, a civic group said.

The man, a member of an international volunteer group, was pronounced dead at a hospital after the incident at the Chosei coal mine in the Seto Inland Sea off Ube, Yamaguchi Prefecture, according to the association dedicated to preserving the memory of the disaster.

The search operation began on Tuesday, the 84th anniversary of the accident.

The coal mine recently gained attention as Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung mentioned progress in their countries' joint efforts to conduct DNA testing on recovered human bones during talks in Nara, western Japan, last month.

On Saturday in Ube, a ceremony commemorating the accident was held, attended by members of the civic group and bereaved family members, as well as Japanese and South Korean lawmakers.

JAPAN TO RESTART WORLD'S BIGGEST NUCLEAR PLANT ON MONDAY - TOKYO JAPAN

JAPAN TO RESTART WORLD'S BIGGEST NUCLEAR PLANT ON MONDAY - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

Japan will switch the world's largest nuclear power plant back on next week, after a glitch with an alarm forced the suspension of its first restart since the 2011 Fukushima disaster.

The announcement came after TEPCO restarted the reactor on January 21 but shut it off the following day after an alarm from the monitoring system sounded.

Due to an error in its configuration, the alarm had picked up slight changes to the electrical current in one cable even though these were still within a range considered safe, Takeyuki Inagaki, the head of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant run by Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), said.

The firm has now changed the alarm's settings as the reactor is safe to operate, Inagaki said.

The commercial operation will commence on or after March 18 after another comprehensive inspection, he said.

Kashiwazaki-Kariwa is the world's biggest nuclear power plant by potential capacity, although just one reactor of seven will restart.

The facility had been offline since Japan pulled the plug on nuclear power after a colossal earthquake and tsunami sent three reactors at the Fukushima atomic plant into meltdown in 2011.

Resource-poor Japan now wants to revive atomic energy to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and meet growing energy needs from artificial intelligence.

Kashiwazaki-Kariwa is the first TEPCO-run unit to restart since 2011. The company also operates the stricken Fukushima Daiichi plant, now being decommissioned.

Public opinion in the area around the plant is deeply divided: Around 60 percent of residents oppose the restart, while 37 percent support it, according to a survey conducted by Niigata prefecture in September.

In January, seven groups opposing the restart submitted a petition signed by nearly 40,000 people to TEPCO and Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority, saying that the plant sits on an active seismic fault zone and noted it was struck by a strong quake in 2007.

HEAVY SNOW HAMPERS VOTING IN JAPAN AS SOME QUESTION MIDWINTER ELECTON - TOKYO JAPAN

HEAVY SNOW HAMPERS VOTING IN JAPAN AS SOME QUESTION MIDWINTER ELECTON - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

Voting for the general election took place Sunday amid heavy snowfall across large parts of Japan, with some voters struggling to reach polling stations and criticizing Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi over the timing of the midwinter poll.

A 90-year-old man who went to vote with his wife said fewer street speeches left him with limited chances to hear candidates' views. Office worker Kazuo Shiina, 47, said he rarely saw campaign vehicles, adding, "An election at this time is a mistake."

Takaichi's abrupt announcement in January to dissolve the House of Representatives for a snap election has been questioned, as it marks the first lower house race since 1990 to be held in February, when some regions experience heavy snowfall.

A heavy snow warning was in effect in Sapporo on Japan's northern main island of Hokkaido, where icy roads were covered with fresh snow, prompting many voters to walk cautiously.

A woman in her 70s who walked to vote said she was determined to cast her ballot "regardless of the weather," adding she "worried about slipping" but pushed herself to come.

In Aomori, northeastern Japan, where the Self-Defense Forces were deployed after heavy snowfall, voters bundled in winter coats and rubber boots braved blizzard conditions to reach polling stations.

Resident Masato Shimakawa, 72, expressed doubts about Takaichi's decision to launch the campaign in winter, saying that, while he lived nearby, the timing raised concerns for wheelchair users and others with mobility challenges.

On Sunday, heavy snowfall hit a wide swath of the country along the Sea of Japan coast, while central Tokyo was also lightly blanketed with snow. The Japan Meteorological Agency warned that heavy snow is expected to severely disrupt traffic in many areas.

In Tokyo and Yokohama, 3 to 5 cm of snow was observed as of 5 a.m.

Due to the snow, the Tokaido and Sanyo shinkansen bullet train lines operated at reduced speed from the start of Sunday's service between Shinagawa in Tokyo and Atami in Shizuoka Prefecture and between Hiroshima and Asa in Yamaguchi Prefecture, respectively, according to railway operators.

VICTIM IN HANEDA ROBBERY ATTEMPT HAD YEN 95 MIL STOLEN IN NOVEMBER 2025 - TOKYO JAPAN

VICTIM IN HANEDA ROBBERY ATTEMPT HAD YEN 95 MIL STOLEN IN NOVEMBER 2025 - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

One of the four victims involved in a recent robbery attempt at a parking lot at Tokyo's Haneda airport had been targeted twice before and had foreign currencies worth 95 million yen stolen in Tokyo in November, an investigative source said Monday.

Tokyo police are investigating any links between the Haneda case early Friday and a theft and an incident involving a car last year, as two of the victims at the airport are believed to have been attacked by robbers again after traveling to Hong Kong.

In the Haneda case, four men, said to have been in possession of 190 million yen, were attacked by another group of four, although nothing was stolen. Two of the victims -- a man in his 20s, who is now believed to have been an accomplice, and another in his 50s -- then headed to Hong Kong with the cash.

The three-time target, a man in his 30s, has explained to the police that they were "transporting cash earned by selling gold purchased from dealers almost every day to money exchangers in Hong Kong."

According to the investigative source, on the night of Nov 20 in Tokyo's Chuo Ward, seven foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars and euros, were stolen from a parked car after its window was broken.

The man's car was also broken into on Nov 26 at Haneda airport, but nothing was stolen, the source said.

The police suspect that the attackers had inside information about the large cash transport.

They are also investigating a case in which seven people were robbed on a street in the capital's Ueno district on Thursday night of suitcases that the victims said contained around 420 million yen in cash. The victims have said they were on their way to take the cash to Hong Kong to exchange for other currencies.

According to currency exchange experts, Hong Kong, as an international financial center, offers various exchange rates that allow customers to choose the one that best suits their transaction. But money is usually transported by dedicated security companies or by wire transfers through bank accounts, given the risks of carrying large sums of money overseas.

Following the incident at Haneda, a bag containing about 51 million yen was stolen from outside a currency exchange outlet in Hong Kong on Friday, leading to the arrest of six people.

A Hong Kong court on Monday denied bail to four of the six suspects, including three Japanese nationals, at their first court appearance.

Given the "seriousness of the case," all four were remanded in custody pending trial, said Principal Magistrate David Cheung of Hong Kong's Eastern Magistrates' Courts, adjourning the case until April 14 for further police investigation.

The four suspects -- three Japanese men and one woman from mainland China -- have been charged with conspiracy to rob a 51-year-old Japanese man of a backpack containing the cash. The three Japanese are Yusuke Suzuki, 27, Keigo Shimomura, 23, and Masato Yamaguchi, 28.

According to police, Shimomura and Yamaguchi allegedly snatched the bag after the victim got out of a taxi in the Sheung Wan commercial district last Friday morning.

The two men, along with the mainland Chinese woman, 52, suspected of assisting in the crime, were arrested later in the afternoon at Hong Kong International Airport.

Suzuki accompanied the victim on the taxi ride and reported the robbery, but police believe he was an accomplice who provided inside information.

The victim, reportedly a worker at a precious metals dealer, had attempted to exchange yen for foreign currency to purchase precious metals and, upon entering Hong Kong, declared that he was carrying a large amount of cash.

The two other male suspects -- a Hong Kong resident and a mainlander -- who were arrested on suspicion of helping to handle some of the stolen money were earlier granted bail pending further investigation and were required to report to police in early March.

As of Saturday afternoon, Hong Kong police had recovered around 11 million yen.

TSUKUBA, Ibaraki

An associate professor at the University of Tsukuba, located northeast of Tokyo, had been found posting discriminatory remarks about foreigners on social media, university officials said Monday.

The male associate professor, whose name has not been disclosed, wrote, "Foreigners who come to universities in Japan are usually incompetent and troublemakers." The university apologized, calling the post "discriminatory."

It also cited a separate case involving an unnamed female associate professor who made comments about Thailand's political situation that "lacked consideration for the country concerned."

Both cases are being investigated by the university for possible violation of its social media use guidelines, it said.

On its official website, the university posted an apology on Friday, which said, "We deeply apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable because of these posts."
