Japanese Man Marries with Virtual Reality Hologram Hatsune Miku
News Resource:
Japanese man ‘marries’ virtual reality singer Hatsune Miku hologram -- Japan Times
I've heard many negative and emotional responses about this "incident" and Mr. Kondo. Those mainly are like: what sickness and trouble with this man that he went to find real love in virtual reality... and what's wrong with "Japan" (they didn't mention in what particular element of Japan, they just said "Japan": how abstract that is...). But, can we conclude this with just a matter of falling in love with virtual reality hologram, and is it a problem in only Japan? Let me blur my thoughts with this perspective:
Among men who fall in love with women hologram in the world of virtual reality, there are two types.
Type 1: Men who only interest in virtual reality, not real women.
Type2: Men who interest in real women (as human), but had traumatic experiences in attempt of making human relationship in their past, yet went virtual reality to experience "something nearest to loving women" instead. They, as who do not know what is loving real women, define that "something" as love.
For Type 1, we do not need to worry about. They only look at holograms, not real women, means that virtual reality comes as the priority. Just leave them alone, and they will be happy forever. They are one form of diversity, as Mr. Kondo commented in the article, and we need to respect such diversity.
For Type 2 are who we need to be careful of. For them, virtual reality comes as the secondary, and real women still remain as the priority. But, who they experienced were only virtual reality. Low self esteem, rooted from their traumatic experiences, will not make any challenging spirit in making a girlfriend as a real human. But, they suffer with the dilemma that they still are in thirst of making relationships with real humans. But, they assume that real humans will not accept them. In some cases, such assuming will make curse in them against real human. When their curse explodes, they will go violent against the humans. Such violence, in many cases, towards against relatively powerless being (in physical aspect), women and kids. For sure not all of Type 2 people commit with such violence, but looking back history of crimes that we know of, we can't deny that there's a potential.
And now, let me say once again, "can we conclude this with just a matter of falling in love with virtual reality hologram, and is it a problem in only Japan?". (Note: I have lived in the US more than a decade and felt that I more often see people like Type 2 in Japan than in the US, but I can't be sure; there's no statistics to prove. But, if you ask any other Japanese people around you, most of them will agree with me).
There is a video provided by Al Jazeera English about this "incident", seeing this makes me think as he is Type 2 person.

In the video, Mr. Kondo comments as: "For now, we can't touch or hold a conversation with a virtual character yet. But I think it's just a matter of time before technology allows us to do so".
What does he expect by being able to touch or make a conversation with her? There can't not be anything except feeling of human.... because, how can he expect anything else other than human? If he expects something else other than human, and if he can clearly explain his expectations in details, he can win a nobel prize.

17 Foreign Detainees Locked up for 24 Hours in a Room for 6 at Japanese Immigration Bureau
News Resource:
Foreigners Locked for 24 Hours at Osaka Immigration Facility -- Jiji Press
Maltreatment of foreign detainees by Japanese Immigration Bureau has been one of the latest exposure that collects public attention in Japan. This is another example.
In this case, taken place at the Osaka Immigration Bureau, 17 detainees were locked up for 24 hours in a room with capacity of 6 people. According to the article, the reason of locking them up is: detainees refused to leave the six-person room even though they were told to go back to their own rooms after their free time ended. What I see as the problem is the comment made by the bureau, according to the article, as: the measure of locking them up in the room was appropriate.
becuase of "to keep order" after their belligerent acts, such as jeering.
Room capacity is generally set by the safety concern to prevent the physical danger of ones stay inside. If they locked up numbers of humans in a room almost 3 times of the capacity, for the considerable length of 24 hours, and they say it as an appropriate measure...., it means that they do not secure the safety of detainees in the facility. Here, we see the bureau lacks a safety management in the facility, and they seem not to be mindful about such lacking.
If the detainees' act or attitude troubled the bureau officers, they have to make measures to 1) cease the act and attitude under their guideline (I wonder if they have one though, and if so, the problem goes bigger) then 2) make the detainees return back to where they were. If the bureau does not have a resource for doing 1) and 2), they shouldn't let 17 detainees gathered in one place. Here we see the bureau lacks a risk management of when the situation becomes beyond their capacity to handle.
Also, in this case, locking up the detainee seems the penalty assessed by the officers personally. But the officers do not have an authority to do so. Here, we see the officers' sense of the authority is distorted.
The bureau officers need trainings of logical, systematical, and efficient skill in safety and risk management, so they will not need to make any self-made penalty with their distorted sense of authority.
The last thing to add: during the detainees being locked up in the room, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake hit Osaka area.

Drunk Japan Airlines Pilot arrested in Heathrow after attempt being on board
News Resource 1/2:
Japan Airlines pilot detained in London after drinking alcohol before Tokyo flight --Japan Times
News Resource 2/2 (Japanese only):
Video of ANN news (Japanese) --ANNnewsCH via YouTube
---------------
The pilot must be a superhuman if he can operate the airplane without a trouble after consuming alcohol exceeding of the legal limit significantly. And believing himself as a superhuman, in fact he's not, has him end up in the jail.
But the real darkness of this incident is, according to the ANN news video (in Japanese), he passed through the Japan Airlines' (JAL) internal pre-flight alcohol check. In this way, it is a organizational crime, with the lack of administrative righteousness. And the organization is the flagship carrier of my country....
The Japan Times article says: "JAL normally operates long-haul routes connecting Japan with the United States or Europe with three pilots in the cockpit — two captains and a copilot — so that they can take breaks in turn.". If the drunken pilot takes higher position than the other two in any social extent, or simply older, he could tell other two to operate the airplane all the way to Tokyo, so he can rest himself for the entire flight. Knowing that nature, JAL let him go for the flight??.... Just trying to undo the mystery with my imagination. But it will officially be investigated and sooner or later.
By the way, JAL was once bankrupt in 2010. Their reconstruction was made with the financial aid of 350 billion JPY (approx. 3.5 billion USD) from the national fund.

Happy Halloween from Japan
For the last 10 years, tradition of
Halloween has rapidly been popularized, rather in the performing aspect than the
spiritual aspect, in Japan as a party day for young people. News on TV this morning for most of
the major nationwide channels headlined about the party people in Shibuya scramble and how crazy they partied….
It was the same last year and the year before and so on… Aren’t there more
important things to broadcast? What is journalism for them?
