Weekend News

Well here’s another weekend of interesting news. I have to come up with a name to call this weekly segment on my site. I’m not sure what I want to call it. Last week it was News from Japan, but that only works if I dedicated everything about Japan, which I know wont happen. Any ideas what I can call this segment? I’m open for suggestions. Message me on Twitter!

Overseas students dumping Japanese for Chinese.

When I was in high school, everyone wanted to learn Japanese as the “cool” language.

Man kills mother for hassling him about getting a job.

Fellow Otaku, it is never right to harm the woman that spent 9 months carrying you around and countless hours giving birth to you. Koichi Hisano, of Tokai, Aichi prefecture, was quoted as saying, “She kept nagging me every day about not having a job, so I figured our house would be better off if mom wasn’t around.”
