Episode 19: Separate surnames for spouses in Japan?

Japan is the only country in the world known to have a law forcing married couples to share a surname - a provision that is more than a hundred years old. Although Japanese laws do not stipulate which partner must change their surname to match the other, about 95% of married couples in Japan currently have the woman adopting her husband’s surname. (Japanese marrying foreigners in Japan are able to keep their Japanese family names.) In July 2021, the Supreme Court in Japan ruled against three couples’ appeal to legally marry while keeping their separate surnames, refuting the claim that prohibiting separate surnames for spouses is unconstitutional. The couples had first brought their requests to keep separate surnames to court in 2019, and appealed to the Supreme Court after their requests were dismissed in the Tokyo Family Court and Tokyo High Court. Our resident news anchor explains the policy of spouses sharing a surname in Japan, and the difficulties associated with it: - Summary 夫婦別姓問題 - Japan’s system on sharing a surname after marriage 現在の日本の制度 - The disadvantages of changing one’s surname after marriage 夫婦同性のデメリット - Why it is hard to push through a policy for separate surnames for spouses in Japan なぜ夫婦別姓にならない？ - Conclusionまとめ --- FNN Prime Online YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/FNNnewsCH Disclaimer: News Anchor Japanese is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Fuji News Network, Inc., or any of its subsidiaries or its affiliates.

Episode 18: Combating food wastage in Japan

In Japan, food products have deadlines within which they should be shipped to stores. Products that miss these delivery deadlines get discarded although they are still well within their ‘best by’ dates. To combat this problem of food waste, Nestle Japan and startup Minatoku have worked together to install vending machines which sell food products like KitKat and Nescafe which are past their delivery date but still perfectly consumable.  Our resident news anchor helps you to understand the two ways in which food waste is mainly created in Japan, and the various measures the country is taking to reduce food waste. - Summary 食品ロス問題OP - What is food waste and how is it created? 食品ロスとは - The environmental impact of food waste なぜ食品ロスを削減する必要がある？ - What is Japan doing to combat food waste?日本の食品ロス対策 - Conclusionまとめ --- Watch the news video with Japanese transcript here! https://perapera.ai/watch/youtube-qvG2Jdj4v_k --- This podcast episode is best listened to in conjunction with the following news video from FNN Prime Online. ネスレ食品ロス削減の無人販売機　出荷できない「キットカット」など https://youtu.be/qvG2Jdj4v_k FNN Prime Online YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/FNNnewsCH Disclaimer: News Anchor Japanese is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Fuji News Network, Inc., or any of its subsidiaries or its affiliates.
