  1. There are plenty of people in the all countries that don't want to get involved. There is a show in the US about it called "What would you do?" Some people help and some don't. Not helping is not exclusive to Japan. I am an American living in Japan and I see people helping people in distress.

  15. These businesses need local repeat customers. Tourists only stop once or not at all. Most tourists have a been there done that, so many places to explore, no need going back to the same place and if they do come back to a particular store it will be a year or 3 years gap. They can't depend on tourists traffic.

  33. Great job, Greg. This was the most comprehensive report on the pandemic in Japan. Don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch but definitely proved the naysayers wrong especially a lot of the Western J vloggers living in Japan. I have always like Governor Koike ever since the fish market fiasco and not giving into the pressure to move before additional studies about Toyosu. Can’t wait for your follow up videos.
