FOREIGN MINORS WHO GROW UP IN JAPAN COUNTRY TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR RESIDENCE

 Foreign Minors Who Grow Up In Japan To Be Eligible For Residence

TOKYO

The Japanese government is set to make foreign nationals under the age of 18 and born and raised in Japan eligible for special permission for residency provided their cases fulfill certain requirements, sources familiar with the matter said Thursday.

Under the plan, the justice minister will be able to use discretion in granting residency to the minors, who would be subject to deportation. The government is also considering expanding the permission to their families, the sources said.

Justice Minister Ken Saito is expected to announce the change as soon as Friday.

Data from the Immigration Services Agency showed that at the end of 2022, there were 4,233 foreign nationals in Japan refusing to be forcibly deported. Of them, 201 were born in Japan and aged below 18.

Many of the affected children, who attend Japanese schools and predominantly speak Japanese, find themselves without residency. This status inhibits them from obtaining health insurance cards, thereby limiting their access to adequate medical treatment.

The current rules also restrict them from leaving the prefecture where they reside, and there have been calls to offer them humanitarian consideration.

Until now, the immigration agency had only granted special stay permissions under specific circumstances, such as when a child was born and raised in Japan and had a designated caregiver if their parents could not provide for them.

With the revision, their residence with their family will likely be allowed if certain conditions are fulfilled, including the parent not having a history of serious crime, the sources said.

Japan's system for special permission to stay does not have clear criteria. Among those considered for it are individuals married to a Japanese national and those with children attending school in the country.

In some cases, refugee-status applicants are granted permission out of humanitarian considerations.

According to the immigration agency, during the five years through 2020, it awarded the permission to an average of 1,400 people annually.

AUSTRALIAN POLICE CHARGE MAN OVER BOMB THREAT ON MALAYSIA AIRLINES FLIGHT - SYDNEY AUSTRALIA

AUSTRALIAN POLICE CHARGE MAN OVER BOMB THREAT ON MALAYSIA AIRLINES FLIGHT - SYDNEY AUSTRALIA

@Jackie San

SYDNEY

A 45-year-old man was charged on Tuesday with allegedly threatening to blow up a plane during a flight from Australia to Malaysia that returned to Sydney.

Police arrested the Canberra resident and took him from the Airbus A330 on Monday, almost three hours after Malaysia Airlines flight MH122 returned to Sydney Airport.

Police allege the man had become disruptive and claimed to have explosives on board.

He was charged with making a false statement about a threat to damage an aircraft and failing to comply with cabin crew's safety instructions.

The charges carry a potential maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of more than 15,000 Australian dollars (US$7,300) respectively.

His name will be released after he appears in a Sydney court later on Tuesday.

The airliner with 199 passengers and 12 crew aboard had left Sydney early Monday afternoon for an eight-hour flight to Kuala Lumpur.

One of the passengers, Velutha Parambath, said the man had been drawing attention to himself before takeoff by praying aloud.

"At that point, we just thought he was praying for everyone. People just generally had a laugh," Parambath, who was seated five rows behind the man, told Nine Network television on Tuesday.

But half an hour into the flight, the man became louder, stood up and started pushing and shoving passengers, Parambath said.

The man implied that he had explosives in a backpack.

"I don't think he specifically said 'bomb.' But he was carrying his bag and he said, 'I've got power in my arms,'" said Parambath, who had been traveling with his wife and three children.

Malaysia Airlines said the pilot decided to return to Sydney for safety reasons.

The passengers' concerns escalated after they landed and spent almost three hours in the plane on a tarmac.

"All we saw were fire engines surrounding us and again people reading the news saying there's potentially a bomb on the plane," Parambath said.

New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb defended the delay of almost three hours between when the plane landed and when two police officers handcuffed the suspect.

"We can never presume anything and we you don't know whether this person was acting alone or he actually had other support on the plane or outside the plane," Webb told Sydney Radio 2GB.

Most of the passengers are expected to continue their journey on a replacement flight MH122D on Tuesday afternoon.

TRAINS, FLIGHTS CANCELED AS TYPHOON MAKES LANDFALL OVER WESTERN JAPAN

TRAINS, FLIGHTS CANCELED AS TYPHOON MAKES LANDFALL OVER WESTERN JAPAN

@Jackie San

TOKYO

Slow-moving Typhoon Lan made landfall on the Kii Peninsula in western Japan on Tuesday, bringing heavy rainfall, disrupting air, road and train services and causing havoc for domestic and international travelers during the summer holidays.

Around 650 people were forced to stay overnight at Kansai airport, located on an artificial island in Osaka Bay, after rail and road access was cut off by to the typhoon. Many people had to sleep in the airport's lobby, and the facility operator handed out sleeping bags and water to those stranded there.

A weary-looking 65-year-old woman from Taiwan said, "I hadn't expected something like this."

A 22-year-old university student from Okinawa, who said he gave up on his hopes of sightseeing in Kyoto, complained that it was cold overnight at the airport due to the strong air conditioning.

Major shinkansen stations like JR Shin-Osaka Station, which would usually be packed with holidaymakers during the annual Bon summer holidays, were mostly deserted.

The typhoon lashed some western Japan areas with heavy rain, with precipitation of 304.0 millimeters logged over a 6-hour period in Nachikatsuura, Wakayama Prefecture, and 190.0 mm in Ayabe, Kyoto Prefecture.

The weather agency continued to warn of heavy rainfall in eastern, central and western Japan and urged residents to stay alert for possible dangerous flooding, landslides and strong winds.

Central Japan Railway Co and West Japan Railway Co canceled all bullet train services between Nagoya and Shin-Osaka stations and those between Shin-Osaka and Okayama stations throughout Tuesday.

Expressway operators have partially closed networks in areas likely to be impacted by the typhoon, while Japan Airlines Co. and All Nippon Airways Co. canceled over 560 flights mostly departing and arriving in western Japan, affecting more than 50,000 passengers.

Universal Studios Japan's popular theme park in Osaka closed Tuesday and four summer high school baseball championship games were canceled at Koshien Stadium in Hyogo Prefecture near Osaka and were rescheduled to Wednesday.

The typhoon, which made landfall shortly before 5 a.m., was moving in a northwesterly direction near the city of Wakayama as of 10 a.m., the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

It had an atmospheric pressure of 985 hectopascals with winds of up to 144 kilometers per hour.

POKEMON CARD SHOP IN OSAKA CITY SAYS IT WILL REFUSE TO BUY CARDS FROM ANY VIETNAMESE PEOPLE !

POKEMON CARD SHOP IN OSAKA CITY SAYS IT WILL REFUSE TO BUY CARDS FROM ANY VIETNAMESE PEOPLE ! 

@Jackie San

TOKYO

Gotcha is a store in downtown Osaka that deals primarily in Pokemon cards, and to a lesser extent Yu-Gi-Oh! ones too. Like a lot of collectibles shops, Gotcha operates as a buyer and a seller, both offering its stock for purchase to customers and also appraising and buying cards brought in by individuals.

However, as of August 5, Gotcha has installed a new policy, and says it will not purchase any cards or items from people of Vietnamese nationality. The statement, posted here through Gotcha’s official Twitter account, reads:

Announcement of refusal of purchase from one portion of customers

"Going forward, we will refuse to purchase any items from customers of Vietnamese nationality. This is a comprehensive decision by our store, and we will not be answering any [questions] related to the detailed reason.

Going forward, we will continue to aim for a safe, secure way of business.

Thank you for your understanding."

It’s a bold move to thank people for their understanding while offering no details for the drastic policy change, and saying in advance that you have nothing more to say obviously invites speculation, which leads us to a few likely possibilities.

In recent years, there’s been a sharp rise in reseller activity for collectible and hard-to-find hobby items in Japan, such as Gundam plastic models PlayStation 5 hardware, and collectible trading card game cards. Launch/restock days for such items now often see long lines of not just fans, but speculators looking to buy as many as they can in order to flip them for a profit as prices rise due to stock-outs (which speculators’ bulk-buying itself contributes to), frustrating ordinary shoppers.

While both Japanese and foreign resellers are involved in such bulk-buying, it’s often the foreign resellers who get the most attention in online discourse, perhaps out of pure prejudice or perhaps because those doing the grumbling find it easier to give Japanese bulk-buyers the benefit of the doubt that they’re buying so much simply because they’re picking up spares for friends or family who are fellow fans.

The surge in the bulk-buying-to-reselling cycle has even caused one Tokyo Pokemon card shop to enact a policy of reserving sales of certain items to kids only, in an attempt to make sure that younger fans can still enjoy the hobby.

However, Gotcha doesn’t seem to be at all opposed to the speculative profiteering nature of collectible cards. In the store’s most recent tweet, posted two days after the no-buying-from-Vietnamese people one, Gotcha lets everyone know that it has unopened Yokohama Memorial Pikachu Decks in stock. These special decks, produced for the 2023 Pokemon World Championships that started this week, were released on July 28 with an official price of 3,500 yen and sold out almost immediately. So how much is Gotcha selling theirs for? 35,000 yen, 10 times the original price, so clearly they’re OK with people making money off of card scarcity.

So maybe Gotcha’s concern about buying from Vietnamese sellers isn’t about reselling cards at a mark-up, but the cards themselves? Another issue that’s been popping up in the collectible card scene in Japan these days is an increase in card shop thefts and burglaries. If a shop has reason to believe that the cards someone is offering for sale are stolen, or maybe counterfeit, than it makes sense that they’d refuse to buy them. What makes less sense, though, would be an assumption that all of the 400,000-plus Vietnamese people living in Japan are involved in some sort of criminal card activity.

It’s also worth noting that it’s unclear whether its policy is actually legal, or has simply been flying under the radar due to the recentness of the announcement and the store’s low-profile on a national scale. With Gotcha itself offering no explanation, its broad-brush policy feels hypocritical, discriminatory, or both, and hopefully a more appropriate way to address whatever problems prompted the store’s decision will be enacted.

RECORD YEN 3 BILLION STOLEN VIA PHISHING IN JAPAN IN 1ST HALF OF YEAR 2023

RECORD YEN 3 BILLION STOLEN VIA PHISHING IN JAPAN IN 1ST HALF OF YEAR 2023

@Jackie San

TOKYO

A record 2,322 scams in Japan to steal internet banking IDs and passwords have resulted in unauthorized money transfers totaling a record of around 3 billion yen ($21 million) in the first half of this year, a report by the National Police Agency showed Tuesday.

The number of cases mainly involving phishing this year has already surpassed the annual total of any previous year, with the financial loss approaching the record high of 3.07 billion yen set in 2015, according to the agency.

The agency attributes the surge in cases to expanding internet banking and increasingly sophisticated phishing emails. Financial institutions, particularly those without physical branches, were hit especially hard in the first half of this year.

Phishing emails and text messages typically impersonate financial institutions and redirect users to counterfeit websites, ostensibly to address urgent matters. These messages often prompt potential victims to input their passwords and other personal information.

Criminal groups are believed to use ill-gotten personal information to transfer funds from users' accounts to their accounts.

A 40-year-old Indonesian man was arrested in July by Indonesian police for illegally using the credit card information of a Japanese individual stolen through phishing, the agency separately said.

This marks the first arrest of an overseas suspect resulting from cross-border collaborations between the agency's National Cyber Unit, established in April 2022, and foreign authorities, according to the agency.

With Japan seeing a sharp rise in phishing scams, police have advised against clicking on links in suspicious emails and only entering sensitive information on official websites or apps.

In July, the agency also requested financial institutions via the Japanese Bankers Association to enhance their security measures.

JAPAN'S SECOND-OLDEST MUSEUM FORCED TO CROWDFUND TO PAY BILLS - TOKYO JAPAN

JAPAN'S SECOND-OLDEST MUSEUM FORCED TO CROWDFUND TO PAY BILLS - TOKYO JAPAN 

@Jackie San

Tokyo

Japan's second-oldest museum has raised $3.4 million through crowdfunding after reportedly being denied additional financial support to cover soaring utility bills to preserve its collection of animal and plant specimens.

More than 30,000 people have donated a total of 480 million yen to the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo, easily surpassing the 100-million-yen target, campaign platform READYFOR said on Wednesday.

The head of the 146-year-old museum, Kenichi Shinoda, said in a video announcing the crowdfunding on Monday that they wanted to save the museum's collections, which he called "gifts from the past to the future".

He said that energy bills to keep some of its five million artefacts -- ranging from dinosaur bones to stuffed bears -- at constant temperatures and humidity levels were expected to almost double this fiscal year to more than $2.6 million dollars.

The cash-strapped Japanese government turned down the museum's request for more funding, and is even reducing its subsidies, according to media reports.

The museum in central Tokyo, which features a model of a blue whale outside, has previously turned to crowdfunding for three smaller projects, but the 100-million-yen goal was "the highest ever" for the institution, Shinoda said.

They have prepared unique gifts for donors in return, such as acrylic resin plant specimens, a museum tour by the president and a study session that allows participants to touch ancient human bones.

Shinoda said in the video that some people had advised him to lower the target, but it was reached in a matter of hours.

"Researchers and staff are touched to have received a great deal of support," the museum said on the campaign website.

The crowdfunding continues until November 5.

MAN GETS LIFE IN PRISON FOR KILLING AUNTIE AND HER EX-HUSBAND

@Jackie San

CHIBA

The Chiba District Court has sentenced a 32-year-old man to life in prison for killing his aunt and her former husband. 

The court convicted Daigo Ichikura of murdering his aunt Junko Watanabe (then 64) and her ex-husband (65) in 2021, Kyodo News reported Tuesday. Ichikura was arrested with his mother, Fujiko Himeno, then 61, in June 2021, for conspiring to fatally poison his aunt with antifreeze and throwing her down the stairs at her home in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture. 

Ichikura was also found guilty of murdering his aunt’s ex-husband, Kazuhiko Watanabe, by setting fire to his residence in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture, in April 2021.

Himeno has already been sentenced to nine years in prison. She appealed the sentence but it was turned down by the Tokyo High Court on July 14.

At the time of the crimes, Ichikura lived with his mother in Tokyo’s Minato Ward.

Prosecutors said a family dispute over financial problems prompted the two homicides.
