The legislation for revisions to child welfare and other laws in Japan is designed to make it easier to restrict meetings of parents with their children under the protection of child consultation centers. Following the revisions, it will be possible to place such restrictions on parents and other guardians in cases in which abuse is suspected but not yet officially recognized. This will help prevent centers from falling into trouble with parents.

One year after Japan's revised ‘Act for the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities' came into effect—mandating that businesses provide reasonable accommodation to people with disabilities—surveys show that public awareness remains low, with 60% of disabled respondents unaware of the new legal obligation.

Vi fortsätter med temat från förra avsnittet då vi sammanstrålade med den svenske temästaren Per Oscar Brekell i Tokyo. Idag får vi bland annat en förklaring till varför det gröna teet - det som kallas för matcha - blivit så populärt. Ja faktiskt så mycket så att man från fabrikanternas sida varnar för att det är på väg att bli en bristvara i världen.Podden vill också passa på att önska särskilt våra lyssnare i Japan en glad Golden Week.Flera nationella helgdagar infaller i tät följd mellan slutet av april och början av maj. Under denna tid tar många ledigt för att resa, vara med på festivaler eller helt enkelt umgås med familj och vänner.​Årets Golden Week startade den 29 april och pågår till den 6 maj. Helgdagarna är dom här:​29 april – Shōwa-dagen (Shōwa no Hi): Till minne av kejsar Shōwas födelsedag. Känd som Hirohito under sin regentperiod som varade fram till 1989.3 maj – Konstitutionsdagen (Kenpō Kinenbi): Firas till minne av den japanska konstitutionen från 1947.4 maj – Grönskans dag (Midori no Hi): En dag för att uppskatta naturen.5 maj – Barnens dag (Kodomo no Hi): En högtid för att fira barns hälsa och lycka. Familjer hissar karpformade vimplar (koinobori) för att symbolisera styrka och framgång för sina barn.6 maj – Ersättningshelgdag för Grönskans dag: Eftersom 4 maj 2025 infaller på en söndag, flyttas helgdagen till måndag 6 maj. ​Det ska tilläggas att dom som kan också tar ledigt den 30 april till 2 maj och då får man en sammanhängande ledighet på upp till åtta dagar. ​NYHETERDen japanska centralbanken Bank of Japan (BOJ) mer än halverar sin prognos över den ekonomiska tillväxten för budgetåret. Centralbankschefen Kazuo Ueda pekar ut USA:s hot om kraftigt höjda importtullar som den enskilt viktigaste orsaken till de pessimistiska tongångarna. Från tidigare aviserade 1,1 procents tillväxt talar banken nu om 0,5 procent.Från och med den 3 april införde Trumpadministrationen en tull på 25 % på alla importerade fordon, inklusive personbilar från Japan. ​Till det ska läggas den 10 %-iga generella importtull som trädde ikraft för alla varor från länder utanför Nordamerika den 5 april. Totalt alltså 35 %-iga importtullar som japanska biltillverkare nu måste förhålla sig till. Det ska tilläggas att personbilar är Japans överlägset största exportvara.Bank of Japan tillkännagav även att man i nuläget väljer att hålla styrräntan oförändrad eftersom inflationstakten mattats av betänkligt den senaste månaden.Den japanska valutan yen tappade ytterligare mark efter beskeden från centralbanken, vilket måhända är bra för besökare, men sämre för de japanska hushållen som får betala mer för importerade varor.En 28-årig man har gripits i Osaka efter han kört in i en grupp skolelever som var på väg hem från skolan.Sju av barnen skadades så pass allvarligt att de fick föras till sjukhus, samtliga ska dock vara vid medvetande enligt uppgifter från polisen.Den misstänkte som är hemmahörande i Tokyo har i förhör sagt att han var ute efter att döda barnen. Motivet ska ha varit att han mått psykiskt dåligt.Ett japanskt företag har börjat leverera inhemskt producerat hållbart flygbränsle till bland andra Japan Airlines som blandar upp det med vanlig flygfotogen. Bränslet tillverkas av begagnad matolja som samlas in från restauranger i Japan.Företaget planerar att producera upp till 30 000 ton matoljebaserat flygbränsle per år. blandar det med vanligt flygbränsle.Enligt den japanska regeringen samlas det årligen in ungefär 400 000 ton begagnad matolja. Den största delen - 90 procent används till djurfoder och kemiska produkter.Japan Airlines uppger för dagstidningen Japan Times att man planerar att år 2030 låta matoljebaserat bränsle stå för 10% av den totala bränsleanvändningen.Enligt en undersökning från jobbmatchningsföretaget MyNavi säger sig nära hälften, eller 45% av alla heltidsanställda i Japan nu vara så kallade “silent quitters” och bara göra det absolut minsta som krävs av dem på jobbet.Beteendet är vanligast bland yngre, där många i åldern 20 till 30 år uppger att de prioriterar sin fritid mer än arbetet.De fyra viktigaste orsakerna till att workaholic Japan nu alltså tycks genomgå en förändring i det tysta är de yngre känner sig missnöjda med arbetsplatsen, upplever att deras insatser inte värderas, och att de är ointresserade av att göra karriär.Basebollstjärnan Shohei Ohtani fortsätter att toppa tidningarnas förstasidor i Japan, men den här gången handlar det inte om sport. Utan om att Ohtani som spelar för Los Angeles Dodgers, nyligen blivit pappa och valt att ta pappaledigt.Trots att japanska män har rätt till 52 veckors pappaledighet med lön är det bara en tredjedel som tar ut någon ledighet överhuvudtaget.Ohtanis beslut att ta pappaledighet när hans dotter föddes väckte stor uppmärksamhet, och han har nu fått smeknamnet "Papa-tani."Ohtanis val att ta ledigt har fått både andra idrottsmän och företag att fundera på att införa liknande policies i Japan. Flera japanska idrottsförbund och företag, som Toyota, har nu börjat erbjuda pappaledighet för sina anställda.Innan vi slår på stora trumman och basunerar ut att en pappaledighetsrevolution är nära förestående i Japan, ska vi kanske tillägga att Ohtani och hans klubb Dodgers enades om att tre dagars pappaledighet kunde vara tillräckligt.

But the weather forecast says there might be a storm this afternoon,” Sora replied with a hint of concern.Ja: 彼は都会の喧騒を忘れて、富士山の頂上で心の平和を見つけることを望んでいます。En: He hopes to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find peace of mind at the summit of Mount Fuji.Ja: 「心配しないで、僕たちは一緒にいるから大丈夫さ」と健太が言いました。En: “Don't worry, we'll be fine as long as we're together,” Kenta said.Ja: 彼は空の職場の同僚で、友人との冒険を期待して参加しました。En: He is Sora's colleague from work and joined the adventure looking forward to spending time with friends.Ja: 山を登り始めた三人は順調に進みました。En: The three of them began their ascent up the mountain and progressed smoothly.Ja: さわやかな風が吹き、桜の花びらが舞い散ります。En: A refreshing breeze was blowing, and cherry blossom petals were dancing in the air.Ja: 愛子は笑顔でいっぱいの写真を撮っています。En: Aiko was taking countless pictures with a smile on her face.Ja: 健太は、少し息を切らしながらも楽しそうにしています。En: Kenta, though slightly out of breath, looked like he was having fun.Ja: しかし、午後になると天気が変わり始めました。En: However, in the afternoon, the weather began to change.Ja: 空は暗くなり、風が強くなりました。En: The sky darkened and the wind picked up.Ja: 空は頂上を目指すべきか、安全を優先するべきか悩んでいました。En: Sora was torn between aiming for the summit or prioritizing everyone's safety.Ja: 「どうする?」健太が尋ねました。En: “What should we do?” Kenta asked.Ja: 風はだんだん強さを増しています。En: The wind was gradually becoming stronger.Ja: 「一人で進むことはできるけど...」と空が言いかけました。En: “I could go on alone, but...” Sora started to say.Ja: 「でも、私たち皆が大事だよね」と愛子が静かに言いました。En: “But we all matter, right?” Aiko said quietly.Ja: 空は考えました。En: Sora thought about it.Ja: 友人との絆を大切にするためには、頂上に着くことよりも、今この瞬間を楽しむことが大事だと感じました。En: He realized that cherishing the bond with his friends was more important than reaching the summit, and that enjoying the present moment was what truly mattered.Ja: 「そうだね。みんなで無事に帰ろう」と空が笑顔で決心しました。En: “You're right. Let's make sure we all get back safely,” Sora decided with a smile.Ja: 三人は引き返すことに決めました。En: The three of them decided to turn back.Ja: 山を降りながら、彼らは笑い合い、嵐から逃れることができたことに感謝しました。En: As they descended the mountain, they laughed together and felt grateful for escaping the approaching storm.Ja: 道中で出会った桜の美しさや、仲間との会話は、その日一番の宝物として心に刻まれました。En: The beauty of the cherry blossoms they encountered along the way and the conversations with their friends became the most treasured memories of the day.Ja: 結局、空は気づきました。目指した頂上だけではなく、仲間との旅が真の平和をもたらすことを。En: In the end, Sora realized that not only was the summit he aimed for a source of peace, but so was the journey with his friends.Ja: 目的地そのものが重要なのではなく、旅そのものが大切だと学びました。En: He learned that it's not the destination that matters, but the journey itself that holds true significance.

Min 1: INTRODUCCIÓN Menudo contraste encontramos esta semana entre el mundo del cine y el de las series. Sin títulos de relumbrón en las salas, las plataformas nos meten en la Semana Santa con una de esas ofertas en las que bien cabe esa frase de 'no te digo que me lo mejores....igualamelo'. Y es que pocas veces son novedad, por estar recién estrenadas, series como Black Mirror, El Cuento de la Criada o la premiadísima comedia Hacks. Min 5: BLACK MIRROR 7 (3,5 estrellas) El futuro se vuelve a oscurecer con una mirada más íntima y provocadora . Después de una sexta temporada que dividió opiniones por su giro hacia el terror y lo sobrenatural, Black Mirror regresa en su séptima entrega con una apuesta más equilibrada entre la sátira tecnológica que la catapultó a la fama y nuevas exploraciones narrativas que juegan con géneros y emociones. Creada por Charlie Brooker, esta nueva temporada —compuesta por cinco episodios— retoma el pulso de una humanidad atrapada entre avances tecnológicos y dilemas morales. Min 14: EL CUENTO DE LA CRIADA 6 (4 estrellas) La sexta temporada de El Cuento de la Criada marca un punto de inflexión en la narrativa distópica que ha definido a esta serie desde sus inicios. Mientras Gilead comienza a resquebrajarse desde dentro y los ecos de la resistencia crecen más allá de sus fronteras, el conflicto ya no es solo político: es profundamente personal. La historia retoma a una June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) más endurecida, menos impulsiva, pero no menos determinada. Exiliada en Canadá, entre campos de refugiados y tensiones diplomáticas, la protagonista sigue siendo el epicentro de una lucha emocional que trasciende la guerra: la batalla por la identidad, el perdón y la maternidad bajo el trauma. Min 22: HACKS 4 (4 estrellas) En su cuarta temporada, Hacks demuestra que sigue teniendo algo que decir —y lo hace con el filo de siempre, pero con una madurez emocional que se siente más afilada y menos cínica. La comedia dramática de HBO Max, creada por Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs y Jen Statsky, continúa explorando la turbulenta, pero magnética relación entre Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) y Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder), ahora en una etapa donde la fama ya no es aspiración, sino una carga. Min 26: THE WHITE LOTUS 3: FINAL SIN 4 ESTRELLAS (3,5) La cuarta temporada de The White Lotus prometía ser la más audaz hasta la fecha: un nuevo resort, nuevos rostros privilegiados, y el ya clásico cadáver flotando como anzuelo narrativo. Pero a diferencia de las anteriores entregas, donde el humor ácido y el comentario social hilaban el caos con inteligencia, esta vez la serie de Mike White cierra su temporada con un desenlace que se siente tan vacío como las maletas de sus protagonistas. Min 36: PREPARADOS PARA THE LAST OF US. T2 "The Last of Us" temporada 2 abre con una herida sin cerrar y una tensión brutal Después de una primera temporada que conquistó a crítica y público al adaptar con fidelidad e inteligencia el aclamado videojuego de Naughty Dog, The Last of Us regresa con un primer episodio de su segunda temporada que no pierde el tiempo: es intenso, emocionalmente devastador y, sobre todo, valiente. Min 39. BSO THE CHOSEN (LOS ELEGIDOS) 3,5 estrellas Compuesta principalmente por Matthew S. Nelson y Dan Haseltine (vocalista de la banda Jars of Clay), la banda sonora de The Chosen no busca dramatizar lo evidente, sino subrayar lo invisible: la tensión interna de los personajes, el misterio de lo divino en lo cotidiano, y la humanidad profunda de figuras como Jesús, Pedro o María Magdalena. Aprovechando el estreno en salas de "La última cena", el primer capítulo de su quinta temporada, analizamos con Ángel Luque la aportación musical de "The Chosen".
