organizing into large public pressure groups. But that's <br>what the restarting of the nuclear reactors at Oi in Fukui <br>by the Noda government has done to tens of thousands of <br>people here in Tokyo. A group called the Metropolitan <br>
Coalition Against Nukes has been holding regular Friday<br>evening protests for 3 months outside the Prime Minister's <br>residence in Nagatacho, Tokyo, and while it started out as <br>a small fringe group of 300 people, something extraordinary<br>
appears to have happened on Friday June 29th, when an <br>estimated 30,000-40,000 people (the organizers say there <br>were up to 150,000 and the police just 17,000) gathered to <br>say "no to nukes".<br><br>Apart from the size, what made this demo unusual is that <br>
it wasn't organized by a specific political group. So rather<br>than right-wingers or students, you had moms with babies,<br>salarymen, senior citizens, Buddhist priests, and people<br>from all walks of life. Bloggers and news commentators alike<br>
kept commenting on how it seemed to be a demonstration <br>by the people for the people. A news segment by TV Asahi's<br>Houdou Station (in Japanese), provides a good overview of <br>the demonstration and can be found here: <br>
<a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/PMG5#video=xrupji" target="_blank">http://www.dailymotion.com/PMG5#video=xrupji</a>. <br><br>Interesting that there was barely any coverage in the more <br>conservative media, though. We presume most people found <br>
out about the demo via Facebook and Twitter, and certainly the <br>next one is likely to be widely publicized in "citizen media".<br><br>[Continued below...]<br><br><br>--- NAGAMINE & MISHIMA - Securing Your Success in Japan ---<br>

<br>Now that the Coalition is drawing such a growing following, <br>
it's clear that something bigger is going on, and we will <br>certainly be attending the next rally, hoping to see <br>history in the making. While we understand there will<br>be regular rallies every Friday, the next big one is <br>
scheduled for July 29th (Sunday, not a Friday), at 15:30 in <br>front of the Diet. That's the one we plan to attend.<br><br><a href="http://coalitionagainstnukes.jp/?page_id=637" target="_blank">http://coalitionagainstnukes.jp/?page_id=637</a><br>
<br>The Coalition Against Nukes says that on July 29th it plans <br>to completely surround the Diet with a human chain, and <br>ensure that the politicians can hear (literally) just what the <br>regular population wants -- if not a complete shutdown of all <br>
nuclear reactors, then at least some leadership to show <br>how the country will move forward and learn from <br>Fukushima that nuclear may not be appropriate for Japan. <br>Really, it's no wonder that people are upset. Even as late <br>
as last week, media reports said that Japan Nuclear Energy <br>Safety Organization, body tasked with setting the new <br>regulations for power plant safety, had omitted a meltdown <br>scenario from their safety drills because, it might "stir <br>
concerns among local residents"...! What do they think a <br>safety drill is for, if not to raise awareness? It seems like the<br>powers that be just want to go back to business as usual <br>and forget that Fukushima ever happened.<br>
<br>One good thing the demo's are doing is to make the regular<br>public ask if the country really needs nuclear power. Much like <br>increased consumption taxes, most people think it does, but<br>only to the extent that it should be a temporary fix and <br>
that a vision for a much safer future needs to be mapped <br>out. A few reactors here, a few years there, and some <br>mutual sweating each summer by the population as it does <br>without air conditioning, is probably the middle ground at <br>
this point. Certainly voters are expecting Noda's<br>administration to create more policies that accelerate <br>alternative energy installations. The preferred feed-in <br>tariff rate for alternative energy is a good start and will<br>
create about JPY11bn in new revenues for all 44 solar and<br>wind projects so far approved for construction by the <br>government.<br><br>But the feed-in legislation is only part of the equation.<br>Japan also urgently needs land-use and geothermal rights <br>
regulatory changes, as well as specific subsidies to <br>manufacturing firms to produce low-cost solar/wind/sea <br>power devices. It's difficult to understand why the Noda <br>government doesn't seize on these popular concerns and <br>
outline a future that makes people feel safer. OK, they<br>got distracted with consumption tax, but people are more<br>motivated to march for no nukes than they are for taxes,<br>and the DPJ seems to have lost its instinct for self<br>
preservation. Speaking of which, did anyone notice that <br>Hashimoto in Osaka suddenly went silent on the subject <br>of the Oi reactors? We wonder if he doesn't have some <br>dirty laundry that was quietly pointed out?<br>
<br>In closing, while researching this week's Terrie's Take we <br>spent several hours going through the location of each <br>nuclear power plant in Japan, trying to find one that <br>doesn't have some problem with possible nearby active fault<br>
lines. The Genkai plant in Saga meets most of the criteria <br>of seismic safety, in that Saga is considered very <br>geologically stable. And yet, even there, there are <br>thousands of people in the surrounding area who are named <br>
in class action lawsuits against the plant and who are <br>trying to have it shut down on the grounds that it might<br>be hit by a severe earthquake.<br><br>The fact is that Japan is a country of earthquakes and the <br>
fault lines that cause them (many of which are still yet to<br>
be found). After Fukushima, the public has decided the <br>risks are not worth it. So maybe it's time for the <br>authorities to accept that nuclear power plants have no <br>place in such an environment and that they need to create <br>
an infrastructure that is more resilient and appropriate?<br><br><br><br>...The information janitors/<br><br>***------------------------****-------------------------***<br><br>-------------------- Delta Air Lines ----------------------<br>

- Alcohol spending falls to record low<br>- Ghosn has top CEO salary<br>- More problems with Fukushima No. 4 reactor<br><br><br>=> Overseas travel up 10%<br><br>A survey done by the Nikkei has found that the number of <br>
people booking trips abroad is surging an average 10% over <br>last year. Conventional agents such as JTB and HIS say <br>that they are up 10%-30%. These companies handle about half<br>of the nation's bookings. On the other hand, web agent <br>
Rakuten Travel says that it has had a 44% increase in <br>bookings. Totally this means about 3.5m people will go <br>abroad during July and August, which will be a record <br>breaker, exceeding the previous record of 3.38m people in <br>
2001. (Source: TT commentary from <a href="http://e.nikkei.com" target="_blank">e.nikkei.com</a>, Jun 30, <br>2012)<br><br><a href="http://e.nikkei.com/e/ac/tnks/Nni20120630D2906F03.htm" target="_blank">http://e.nikkei.com/e/ac/tnks/Nni20120630D2906F03.htm</a><br>
<br>=> 15-year construction project for Shibuya Station<br><br>We're not sure what it will do to shopping in and around <br>Shibuya, which is sure to be disrupted, but nonetheless <br>Tokyu Corporation and JR are planning to significantly <br>
make over the station itself and areas in and around the <br>station. The project is expected to take up to 15 years <br>and some of the things that will happen include:<br>* The Toyoko line will be moved underground and <br>
connected to the Fukutoshin line -- sometime this year.<br>* The space where the Toyoko line platform is now will be <br>used for a new Saikyo line platform, so that the JR and <br>Saikyo lines can be closer together.<br>
* The Ginza line platforms will be moved closer to the <br>Fukutoshin line and widened.<br>* There will be a 4-level sidewalk built from <br>Miyamasuzaka to Dogenzaka, which should be rather <br>futuristic<br>* Most of the Tokyu department store buildings will be torn<br>
down and rebuilt<br>(Source: TT commentary from <a href="http://e.nikkei.com" target="_blank">e.nikkei.com</a>, Jun 29, 2012)<br><br><a href="http://e.nikkei.com/e/ac/tnks/Nni20120629D29HH726.htm?GID=58" target="_blank">http://e.nikkei.com/e/ac/tnks/Nni20120629D29HH726.htm?GID=58</a><br>
<br>=> Alcohol spending falls to record low<br><br>According to a report from Shinsei Financial, the monthly <br>eating/drinking allowance given to salarymen by their wives<br>has fallen to an all-time low of JPY39,600 a month, a far <br>
cry from the peak of JPY76,000 in 1990. On the upside, this<br>means that the guys are only spending an average JPY2,860 <br>on each night out getting drunk with their buddies. The wives <br>appear to have relented a bit when it comes to nutrition, <br>
though, because the average lunch allowance has risen <br>slightly from JPY490 to JPY510. The average monthly salary <br>for workers was JPY296,800 in FY2011, down 3% from 10 years<br>earlier.

In line with the new regulation for public companies to <br>
reveal CEO pay over JPY100m, Carlos Ghosn of Nissan Motor <br>has emerged as the highest paid CEO in Japan, with a <br>package excluding stock options, of JPY987m. Nissan says <br>that although this is high for Japan, when compared to <br>
other international auto company CEO's, Ghosn's salary is a<br>relative bargain (Ed: And a lot better than a bankrupt <br>company with tens of thousands on the pay roll). Ghosn was <br>also paid JPY120m by Renault as CEO of that company. In <br>
comparison, Toyota President Akio Toyoda earned JPY136m<br>for the year. ***Ed: Of course, given the fact that the Toyoda <br>family own a decent chunk (2%) of Toyota shares,<br>perhaps Akio's salary is not the main consideration.** <br>

<br>TEPCO had a major problem with the cooling system for the <br>
No. 4 reactor at Fukushima Daiichi power plant. The system <br>broke down on Saturday morning, and TEPCO took until <br>Sunday afternoon to get it running again. ***Ed: With a water<br>temperature of 31 degrees C when the cooling failed, the <br>
coolant pool was rising at around 0.26 degrees per hour, and<br>would have hit 65 degrees on Tuesday, which is the upper <br>limit per Japanese nuclear safety regulations. (Source: TT <br>commentary from <a href="http://mainichi.jp" target="_blank">mainichi.jp</a>, Jun 30, 2012)<br>

<br>Bitchu Kokubunji is located at the edge of Soja City and can <br>be easily accessed from Okayama or Kurashiki cities. It <br>has a temple with a few attached older buildings but to the <br>side stands the five story pagoda which was build in 1844 <br>
and is said to be the last pagoda to be built in Japan.<br><br>The height of the pagoda is 3432 meters and it looks over <br>fields of rice and flowers. During the spring season there are <br>a number of events to celebrate the end of winter and to <br>
welcome the warm weather and cherry blossoms. This <br>season also sees the pagoda being lit at night which makes <br>it a great destination for couples, friends and family who want <br>to sit under cherry trees and view the splendor of Japanese <br>
architecture.<br><br><a href="http://bit.ly/LpF4tA" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/LpF4tA</a><br><br>=> Yoronjima, Kagoshima<br>A guide to Kagoshima's beautiful southernmost island<br><br>Yoronjima (Yoron Island) is so far south it's practically <br>
Okinawa. In fact, the tiny island offers stunning sunset views<br>of several of Okinawa's northern isles, being just 22 km <br>away. But it's lucky for Kagoshima that the line is drawn <br>where it is, because it's certainly a jewel in the prefecture's <br>
crown.<br><br>Yoron's beaches, with their soft white sands, are genuinely <br>stunning. This is a rare case of when a "Paradise Beach" <br>lives up to its name. Should you get bored of soaking up <br>some sun you can try searching for the island's famous star <br>
sand. Tiny pieces of coral from the reef which encircle the <br>island turn up on the beach as tiny star-shaped wonders. I <br>might be a grown-up, allegedly, but this still takes a while to <br>get old. Yoron's sea is almost permanently a tropical <br>
turquoise due to crystal clear waters (you can see the <br>seabed from the ferry) and shallow waters stretching out to <br>the reef. I've been to Yoron in all types of weather and can <br>promise that even in gloomy February it still has a glow - <br>
which to be honest is almost eerie. (The sea reflects the <br>sky right?!)<br><br><a href="http://bit.ly/MKfU99" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/MKfU99</a><br>------------------------------------------------------------<br>
