1. Thanks. Is 暴力団関係者 just a euphemism for Yakuza member then, or is there is a particular reason NHK don’t say it directly?

2. Yakuza 8 story line heating up

3. I thought this was “so rare” according to people in yesterday’s thread about a different shooting?

4. Dang, and they just had a Yakuza parade in Asakusa to promote their presence and seemed like they wanted to get along with the community. Is the perpetrator also a gang member (i’m going to assume so, but got away?)?
