1. Progress. But seems disingenuous to compare to 2021. Guess it depends on the slant you want to paint.

2. This must be that analysis from IRSAN, the Institute of Research that Surprised Absolutely No One.

3. Well, duh. Remove restrictions and yen is weak as shit? Of course more people will come.

4. I mean, this is certainly expected so it’s easy to write a comment saying “no shit”, but surely it’s useful to track actual numbers as well. For business owners, investors, etc. to have more stats to work off of?

5. What is 12 fold of zero? Still zero.

6. No shit, the country was closed in 2021

7. Uh.. yeah, the border was closed in 2021 😂

8. Yea that’s because sakoku 2 happened last year
