02/22, Arts Culture Tourism from Tokyo

A team of Japanese scientists has developed a new method for reducing abnormal amounts of protein believed to trigger Alzheimer’s Disease. Meanwhile, a newspaper poll last weekend shows that 72% of voters believe Japan should legalize same-sex marriages, compared with 18% who don’t. In Tokyo, the Himiko, Hotaluna, and Emeraldas river cruisers travel a stretch of the river from Asakusa to Odaiba Seaside Park, all designed by Reiji Matsumoto (1938-2023), the manga artist known for “Space Battleship Yamato,” “Galaxy Express 999" and videos for Daft Punk who died last Monday aged 85.
