これはちゃんと意味があって、まず前提としてチェーン店系じゃなく、個人経営の居酒屋。それも料理やお酒にそれなりの評判があるケース。そーゆー店では、店主にオススメを聞いて「今日はイサキのいいのが入ってる」と言われたら「じゃあ、一尾を刺身で。湯引きか炙りは大将にお任せします。アラはあとであら汁にしてもらえると嬉しいです」とか頼めば、店側へのリスペクトも伝わるし、何より一番美味しいのを食べられる。

Japan ist ein interessantes Beispiel weil seit Jahrzehnten alle ökonomischen Marker (v.a demographiebedingt) schlecht stehen, sie aber einen ungebrochen hohen Lebensstandard und eine hervorragende Infrastruktur haben.
Die Gründe sind einfach: Der Westen wollte seine demographischen Probleme mit der Zuwanderung von Millionen von unproduktiven und zunehmend teuren Migranten lösen. Das hat nicht nur kein demographisches Problem gelöst, sondern enormen Druck auf alle öffentlichen Ressourcen ausgeübt.
Diese Ressourcen hat Japan stattdessen investiert um die Folgen des demografischen Wandels zu mildern. Hohe Staatsverschuldung und eine schwächelnde Währung sind vielleicht keine Erfolgsmeldungen, vergleicht man das aber mit den zunehmend unlösbaren Problemen des Westens, ist Japans Weg der klar bessere.
Neben den finanziellen Unterschieden wird Japan auch politisch deutlich handlungsfähiger bleiben. Während alle westlichen Demokratien von ethnokulturellen Konflikten paralysiert werden. Japan kann sich den Problemen der Zukunft widmen, statt interethnischen gib-me-dat Verteilungskämpfen.
Whenever I point out how cheap something is in Japan compared to America everyone goes “yeah but their wages are much lower!”
Sure, but in Japan everyone can afford to go out to eat every night because it’s so cheap, people go out drinking multiple nights a week because it’s so cheap, airport beers are the equivalent of $1.50 and they consider that a scam.
Meanwhile in America no one goes out to eat anymore, no one goes out to bars anymore, and an airport beer is equivalent to minimum wage (plus tip!)
Sure we have more buying power *IF* we leave America, but comparing cost of living and wages in America vs Japan if you only spend inside your own country? Japan has us so beat it’s not even funny.

テレビ東京は、アニメのもうけが放送のもうけを上回った。2026年3月期、アニメ・配信の営業利益は65.9億円で、地上波・BSの55.5億円より多い。
テレビ局5社の決算を並べると、アニメでの稼ぎ方は5つに分かれていた↓
❶ テレビ東京：長く続く作品を、海外のゲームやグッズにして売る
❷ 日本テレビ：深夜の話題作を、映画とグループの会社で大きくする
❸ テレビ朝日：ファミリー向けの長寿作品を、毎年の映画で売る
❹ TBS：アニメを作る会社を買って、作るところから持つ
❺ フジテレビ：ワンピースとノイタミナの過去作を、海外に売る
長く続く作品は、どの局にもある。それでも、アニメで放送を上回ったのはテレ東だけだった。

In Japan the other forms of legal gambling mostly suck. And all have the same high takeout. It is not right to say that they have a monopoly. Just objectively the slots they have here suck, and boat racing is totally rigged and sucks, the lottery is not for serious gamblers. Keirin is actually awesome but will always be super niche compared to horse racing.
The other competition is offshore betting where the cops have really cracked down even though the law doesn't really support it. They are big on this as it cuts into their pachinko cash cow that they regulate; these pachinko regulatory positions are used as amakudari for retired cops. It also looks like they are doing something good after the horrible, dastardly fraud that happened to poor Shohei Otani, whose translator was able to obtain massive credit lines from bookmakers simply by touting his relationship!
Regardless this strong competitive position allows them to take a long term view and re-invest in better facilities and more promotion which keeps the sport healthier. There is also a strong ownership culture for whatever reason. They also got lucky with the uma musume game. I still think long run the sport is slowly declining without some unforeseen catalyst. Some of the handle growth is just better economy/stock gains meaning big bettors bet more and also likely increased syndicate action. People are already starting to rotate back into pachinko/pachislot.
On the topic of betting, in addition to the lack of bookies they also never have had good rebates in Japan. This is all smart and good for the system as it reduces pro handle and late odds moves, which are still awful and have gotten worse recently. Despite the higher takeout in Japan recreationals probably lose slower in Japan than in the US.
The UK betting market on racing is in decline
Japan bets nearly twice as much on racing as Britain does: £21.5bn a year against £11.0bn.
Hong Kong, with a population of about 7.5 million, bets more than Britain too.
What Japan and Hong Kong have in common is that racing runs the betting. The pools belong to the sport, and the takeout goes back into prize money and racecourses.
If British racing owned its own pool or exchange, would you bet with it?

Por esto los republicanos perdieron Texas. Efecto mariposa. Cuídate que Shiraoki vigila.
It is with heavy hearts that we must announce the cancellation of the Umamusume: Pretty Derby – 7th EVENT: THE STAGE in LOS ANGELES concerts planned for Oct 22–23, 2026.
Although we have coordinated repeatedly with all parties concerned and explored every possible option in our efforts to make this event happen, we were unable to obtain the necessary visas for entry into the US, so we have come to the painful conclusion that holding the concerts is no longer possible.
To all the Trainers who were eagerly looking forward to the show, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and concern this causes, and for announcing this so close to the event date.
Due to this cancellation, we will process refunds for the following:
・On-site viewing tickets
・Streaming tickets
In addition, we are looking into possible responses to Trainers who were planning to attend the concert in person. This will take some time, so we ask for your patience. Details will be announced on the 7th EVENT WORLD TOUR official website.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this causes to all the Trainers who were eagerly looking forward to the concerts, as well as to the Umamusume cast, partner company staff, and everyone involved who put tremendous effort into making this event happen.
Please see the link below for the official notice:
