Let's Japan.org Debunking Eikaiwa and Ramblings in Japan

The Sankei Shimbun has a puff piece on Gaba. The company's president, Chutatsu Aono, gets some free space to espouse the greatness of his school.

Another piece of NOVA dies.

Maybe I'm beating a dead horse now, but an article in the Foreign Correspondent's Club of Japan's No.1 Shimbun [PDF] completely misses the point about why people have complained about the Mainichi running the WaiWai column.

Sahashi plans to plead innocent.

I'll throw my hat into the ring about the end of the WaiWai column. Rather than a story of an Internet mob bullying a newspaper and its foreigner writer, WaiWai is an example of a massive failure in corporate governance.

Prosecutors will not indict Sahashi for non-payment of salaries for last October and September.

Teaching private lessons for a pittance? What if I told you you could double your rates while working less using a proven method that can transform your life? Interested?

Sahashi has made bail and has been released.

Ex-NOVA president Nozomu Sahashi has been indicted for embezzlement of corporate funds.

Students will now be paying 20% more for lessons at neo-NOVA.
