Being "Different" in Japan

Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open due to her mental health and the organisers issued $15,000 fines for her absence at press conferences. Naomi revealed her battle with "long bouts depression" she has suffered since 2018. What is the reason? Although she defended some friendly journalists, they are nuisance and their questions repetitive. Here is the link to my weekly newsletter. Enjoy! https://quirkyjapanese.substack.com

Take a break Naomi

Thanks for listening the episode. This week is about the delay of the vaccine distribution in Japan. Here is the link to my weekly newsletter on Substack.  https://quirkyjapanese.substack.com Song: Japanese Sandman by Nora Bayes

Anzac Day is an important day for Australia. As nation, the event defined them from British colonial countries. On the event, I found a similar attitude between Hiroshima/Nagasaki which is the day of remembrance of warship. Thanks for listening.

Japan’s Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare has approved the kick-off of Pfizer vaccine in Japan despite the government skipped third phase clinical trials. Pfizer released the statement saying prior samples from clinical trials from the world, proved the vaccine is safe for Japanese too. The health minister Norihisa Tamura says standard syringes in use in Japan are unable to extract the sixth and final dose from each vial manufactured by the US drugmaker. Japan secured 144 million shots of Pfizer vaccine equal to 72 million people, however the syringe problem potentially waste 1 in 6 shots, according to Kyodo news agency. Tamura says the syringes used in Japan can only draw five doses, but they will use all the syringes they have that can draw six doses, but it will, of course, not be enough as more shots are administered. https://www.pfizer.co.jp/pfizer/company/press/2021/2021_02_14.html

Pfizer vaccine roll out in Japan

A day after the Times UK’s report titled “Japan looks for a way out of Tokyo Olympics because of Covid,” the head of Japan’s Olympic committee, Yasuhiro Yamashita says the rumour is wrong and ridiculous. An anonymous source told the Times that the Japanese government has privately concluded the cancellation of the event. On Friday, Yamashita said, we are planning how to hold a safe and secure Games in great detail, working closely with the International Olympic Committee and the World Health Organisation. International Olympic Committee President, Thomas Bach said there was "no Plan B" for the Olympic games. IOC has the decision on the games whether to go ahead or not, but it is possible to be cancelled by the organisers such as the Japanese government, TOC and JOC. Earlier, Yamashita was asked how he planned to communicate with athletes about vaccination. He said it’s a decision for the government to make. It’s not for the JOC to decide, adding that he couldn’t give a definitive timeline given that the vaccines were not being distributed yet. World’s eyes are closely watching the organisers’ comments on the games holding within six months. Is it feasible for the Tokyo Olympics to take place? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-olympics-2020-joc-interview-idUSKBN29R1M1 https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/japan-looks-for-a-way-out-of-tokyo-olympics-because-of-virus-lf868xfnd
