Japan's ban on the price-gouging resale of face masks came into force on Sunday. Tokyo took the measure as masks have been in short supply amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Violators will face penalties of up to one year in prison or a fine as high as about 9,500 dollars.
GLAY have dropped the PV for their new song "Into the Wild."
This song can be found in the band's best-of album "REVIEW II -BEST OF GLAY-" released on March 11, and it's currently being used as the CM song for Subaru's Levorg. Directed by Hong Won Gi, the PV is comprised of scenes of women dancing to portray "liberation" and scenes of GLAY performing.
A ban in Japan on the resale of face masks at marked-up prices is set to go into force from Sunday. The government has approved the measure, as the masks are in short supply amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Violators will face penalties of up to a year in prison or a fine as high as one million yen, or about 9,700 dollars.
The 268-horsepower Toyota GR Yaris joined the list of forbidden fruits we can't get in the United States when it made its global debut at the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon. The online petition to bring the car here didn't change the company's mind, but product planners have another plan to satisfy motorists seeking a seriously quick hatchback.
Toyota has "an answer" for the GR Yaris (pictured) that's better tailored to the American market, according to Bob Carter, the firm's executive vice president of sales. Speaking to Car & Driver, he explained it's not going to be a federalized version of the rally-bound model sold overseas because the car it's based on isn't available on our shores. The Yaris we get is a re-badged Mazda2 that shares no major parts with the fourth-generation hatchback sold overseas, so giving it World Rally Championship-like power would be easier said than done.
GLAY have unleashed the teaser for their new song "Into the Wild."
This will be included in GLAY's upcoming best-of album "REVIEW II -BEST OF GLAY-" to hit stores on March 11. It holds the message, "While being tied up by various things, break free by believing in yourself and move forward." The teaser features an emotional dance scene that portrays "breaking free."
A Japanese government expert panel has agreed to a plan to reduce the amount of radioactive wastewater stored at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, by releasing it into the sea or the air.
Water used to cool the molten nuclear fuel from the March 2011 accident is treated to remove most of the radioactive material. But tritium and some other substances are left in the treated water, and the amount stored has reached about 1.2 million tons in almost 1,000 tanks.
The Ikata nuclear power plant in western Japan has had a short electricity outage, causing suspension of maintenance work on one of its reactors. All three reactors at the plant are currently offline.
Officials at Shikoku Electric Power Company and Ehime Prefecture say the plant lost power at around 3:40 p.m. on Saturday.
A freak accident happened in Hallandale Beach, Florida on Monday when a Nissan GT-R reportedly ran a red light and slammed into a Tesla Model X, effectively cutting the EV in two.
