Hi Blog. MS sent me an interesting article from May 26’s Sankei, reporting about how enjoyment of Roppongi is being spoiled by over-persistent street touts (a sentiment I somewhat agree with, but…), who lead people to bars that even the US Embassy is cautioning against<\/a>. So we have the new “Clean Town Roppongi Action Group” launching into the breach, putting up cautionary billets in English and Chinese only<\/span> Japanese (advertising “punishments”), organizing patrols and volunteer policing groups, and advocating “safety for each resident” (fortunately rendered as juumin<\/em>, not kokumin<\/em>). All this, says the article, justifiable under the new controversial Tokyo City ordinance banning “public disturbances”, passed last April<\/a>. Here’s the Sankei article. Arudou Debito in Sapporo<\/p>\n
