New Location for Yokohama Immigration Office

As of June 1st the Yokohama Immigration Office has moved from the goudou chousya building in Ishikawa-cho to a new facility [PDF] near Shin-Sugita Station on the Keihin-Tohoku Line.

To get to the new office, take the Keihin-Tohoku/Negishi Line to Shin-Sugita. Exit the turnstyles and walk straight down the shopping arcade to the end. There are signs in English, so watch for them and make your way to bus stop #1 at the bus loop, and get on the #61 bus. The bus goes right to the gates of the immigration office, so there's no way you're going to get lost.

I was there this morning and noticed how large it was. It's a dedicated building, unlike the old office in Ishikawa-cho, with a detention center, visiting facilities, and a Mini Stop convenience store. I suppose putting it out in an industrial park near a dock where cars are loaded onto freighters makes it "out of sight out of mind" to the public, but having to take a bus is a bit of a pain. Still, I was in an out pretty quick and it looks to be an improvement over the old office.

When did the Spam start?

It started with that post "19 months" or whatever it was. If you click on his name, it forms a link to some wierd web-site detailing lessons on "how to think". That was the first one, of many posts containing the same feature - I think that post may contain the bug that has opened the gate.

Spam

It started to get really bad about a week ago. Still working on a better solution. Captchas just aren't doing the job.

I was wondering whether it's

I was wondering whether it's someone deliberately trying to attack the site, due to some kind of gripe.

Gripe

Could be Mr. Ripper. It is a sensitive time, with Saruhashi in court, and all. Nova used to hire people to bombard the web with Nova propoganda, back in the day. May be they don't want it out there, that this court case is just an LDP slap over the wrists snow job, and they don't want his other by far worse activities up and running as a topic of discussion.

I doubt it. Lots of weird

I doubt it. Lots of weird porn and news links. You'd have to be insane to take the time to post that junk over and over here.

I wouldn't be surprised if it

I wouldn't be surprised if it is being deliberately sent by some coward wanting to bury the news about Nova, or bury the bad press that eikaiwa gets on this part of the forum.

If memory serves me, I remember something like this happening in the run up to when the original Nova went bust, and forced the site down for a while.

Can't see it, really. A bit

Can't see it, really. A bit like this theory a while back that someone was deliberately trying to promote franchises - an unnecessarliy conspiratorial bias - although that is not to say that conspiracies never happen. They do, but there has to be a good reason.

SARHUHASHI TRIAL A PATSY

Theory? It was probably YOU that was behind that push for the franchise cause.

Onto the main subject - that Saruhashi turd – reasons behind a spam conspiracy relative to him are:

(a) He and his henchmen have a history of bombarding the web and media with bullshit, lies, distortions, and cover-ups. Apart from the department that creatively shuffled money (that’s where the king size bed was), the Nova propaganda machine’s office was really the only busy department in HQ.
(b) Many people say what he has been charged with and what he is being put on trial for is but a drop in the ocean, compared with what he really got up to, and who really got rich in the process (this whole charade being a “slap on the wrist” to save further investigation, and also not too far from people’s minds – his close association with leading but shadowy politicians. Some say that the Nova gravy train (money laundering, bribes, insider trading, prostitutes as gratuities, scandals stacked upon scandals…..the list of shadowy stories emerging from that place is a mile long) GOES ALL THE WAY to the most senior members of the LDP. Some even say, Saruhashi was only made a sacrificial lamb, when the heat got too close to the LDP. The theory being discussed out there is that he has made his money, so have the bent politicians, and this is all just a show, to create a mirage of justice in the public’s eye, so no-one digs deeper.

But you are right, of course – all just stories, all just conspiracy theories. I mean to say, who really did shoot JFK? On thing is for sure, the current court case could be called a “patsy” of a trial, when you consider what is said about that spooky, withered prune, shrivel dick, ears that look like they belong to a chimpanzee, fingers that are worn from stuffing money into paper bags and pinching secretaries’ asses, filthy old pervert.

THORN

All these reasons that you

All these reasons that you provide in support of a spam conspiracy theory overestimate the importance to his future that Suruhashi would attach to a site like this.

I doubt very much that he would attach any importance to it at all, as he doesn't use English himself and no longer has anyone but his lawyer working for him. He and whoever helpers he can afford to pay would be moderately interested in what is being said in the Japanese press, but mostly interested in whether or not the palms they have greased in the past will do the decent thing or not.

ANDERS AND "LORD" FLEMMING?

I hope Monkey's ass goes down for 5. He is a corrupt businessman and a dirty grub, and should be banned from ever setting up a business again - but I'm sure he won't be. What I want to know is, why is it just Monkey on trial? It is well known that his 2nd and 3rd In-Command also had detailed knowledge of the dubious business practices Monkey face is being charged for.

WHERE IS ANDERS "WEREWOLF" LUNDQVIST? WHERE IS THE FAKE BRITISH PEER, "LORD" FLEMMING? THEY SHOULD BOTH BE IN LEG CHAINS WEARING AN ORANGE PRISON SUIT. ANYONE KNOW THEIR WHEREABOUTS? LETS GO AFTER THE GAIJIN SCUM, TOO!
