They're caging Hachiko to protect him for Halloween. Why not instead give him a cool costume covered in razor-sharp spikes?

An extra-long, free Japan Daily Briefing to mark the start of the Takaichi government. Turns out the start of a new government generates a lot of news and analysis to read — who knew.

I knew Anthony Bourdain was a fervent Cool Japan guy, but it was news to me he made a cyberpunk graphic novel series called GET JIRO starring an ass-kicking sushi chef. How epic of him!
