You shouldn't cut corners no matter what. That's because you can't expect good results if you do.

I think traveling abroad is a wonderful experience, but people who can’t even follow basic rules and etiquette shouldn’t travel. If you think this applies to you, you should follow my advice and refrain from traveling.

It’s a mistake to take everything the media reports in a sensationalist manner at face value. In any case, the point is simply that such reports don't reflect the full picture.

It’s tough when you think, “I have to do this,” isn’t it? For example, why not try changing your mindset? Just thinking, “I’m going to give this a try,” should make it a little easier.

If you still want to come to Japan even if it means defying the travel advisory issued by your own government, please feel free to visit. However, it would be wise to return home as soon as possible, before you come to realize the true value of freedom and human rights.

“Steal someone else's stuff, then demand money or valuables in exchange for returning it.” Yeah, yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing they'd do. So, are you still going to defend them?

If you have absolute power, you can do whatever you want. You don't even have to follow the rules you set for yourself. Come on, is that really allowed?

People who fail to notice the tiny cracks that have just begun to form may find themselves with nowhere to escape when the cracks grow large enough for anyone to see, and they may end up falling into the gap.

A dictator who keeps his fist raised, not knowing how to lower it. Someone close to him—someone—should help him lower that fist. To begin with, just how long do they intend to keep waging this miserable war that benefits no one?

“What’s mine is mine alone, and what belongs to others is naturally mine as well.” To put it simply, that’s how they think. So it’s no wonder that our views and theirs are fundamentally at odds.

No matter how you try to cover it up, you can't change the truth. There's only one.

“Someone else will take care of it anyway.” People who think this way won't even try to deal with the situation, even if their own lives are in danger.

“Busy”? No way. You're just not planning ahead enough.

In any case, whether or not you realize you're happy ultimately depends on you.

Reckless behavior will eventually lead to tragedy.

No one ever says anything that would be problematic if others found out.

We really have to make the most of our time, don't we?

Whether it's baseball or soccer, what's the point of fans of different teams getting into fights? Would people who truly love sports really do something like that?

It’s hard to break old habits. Changing them can be difficult. In other words, it’s kind of like an addiction. So, what should we do? Well, to put it simply, I think it all comes down to our own way of thinking.

The longer a reckless dictator continues this senseless war, the more lives of precious people—civilians—will be lost as collateral damage. I suppose the lives of civilians don’t matter at all to him. It’s just so sad.
