Dual nationals Temporary return with corona disaster

Question

If anyone has a dual nationality who has recently returned to Japan, please let me know.
Until now ( before Corona ) I did the following.

To purchase tickets, enter US passport information as an American
Show US passport at ticket counter ( Show Japanese passport if asked )
To enter Japan, show Japanese passport
< When returning to the US >
Show your US passport at the ticket counter
Show your Japanese passport when leaving Japan
Show your US passport when entering the US

But in the Corona Disaster, Americans need a visa.
So I have to do many procedures as a Japanese.
Is the following method sufficient?

To buy ticket, enter Japanese passport information as Japanese
Show Japanese passport at ticket counter
To enter Japan, show Japanese passport
< When coming back to US >
Show your US passport at the ticket counter ( ? Even though you purchased with a Japanese passport ? )
Show your Japanese passport when leaving Japan
Show your US passport when entering the US

If I am wrong, I would be very grateful if you could point it out.
I am trying to call the airline, but the waiting time is too long and I can't get through.
Thank you very much.

# This question is for people who have Japanese and American passports and how they should use their passports differently in the Corona Disaster.
If you were born in the U.S., you can have both Japanese and U.S. passports until you reach a certain age.
Did you acquire U.S. citizenship of your own volition as an adult male or female?

Please answer this question first.
Is Mr. Den-Den a minor who was born in the U.S. and is still a minor?
Or are you an adult man or woman who acquired U.S. citizenship of your own volition?

Mr. Den-Desu
First of all, I would like to ask you a question. You mentioned that you use your Japanese passport when you enter and leave Japan. If you have US citizenship, you should not already have a green card. If you use your Japanese passport when entering and leaving Japan, does that mean you have been in and out of Japan within 3 months ? or did they not stamp your passport when you left Japan ? If it is after 3 months when you next come to Japan, you should submit something like a green card or visa, otherwise why would you stay in the US for a long time? ? If I don't submit a green card or a visa or something when I enter Japan next time, won't they ask me why I was in the US for a long time ? I was wondering if you could tell me ?
I also read on the Japanese consulate's web that when I go to get my Corona visa now, I should first get my Japanese citizenship disqualified before I go through the Corona visa process.

Since dual nationality is not allowed in Japan, if you have dual nationality, you must
choose between Japanese nationality or foreign nationality by a certain period of time.
If you have dual nationality before you turn 20 years old, such as if you had dual nationality at birth, you must make your choice by age 22;
if you became a dual national after age 20, you must make your choice within 2 years from that time.

Green card holders with Japanese passport aliases

Question

I learned from reading on the internet that many people had the same experience.
When I went back to my hometown, I was instructed by JAL to purchase a ticket with Hanako YamadaSmith as my name on the ticket and passport. I have read that it is now possible to put a space between "Yamada" and "Smith". However, when returning to the U.S., the name on my green card, Hanako Smith, is different from my name on my green card, so I get an X at the immigration kiosk, which is a hassle. I was even sent to another room. It is not that I cannot enter the country, but it is depressing every time. I would like to know about the experiences of green card holders who have recently returned to their home countries. Is the situation still the same?

Prius converter was stolen.

The following topic was no longer available for writing, so we have started it up again.
https://losangeles.vivinavi.com/eb/index/-?topic_id=_widg_1a00f2dcc0a1bbf880f8a9dda39961c4fa92112005&show=all#_widg_1a00f2dcc0a1bbf880f8a9dda39961c4fa92112005

I was just about to start the engine of a car that was parked on the street when I heard an explosion and someone nearby ran to my car and said, "The converter is I think it's been stolen. It was stolen from my car last night !."

I thought I had seen a post like this on Vivinavi... So I read the past topics.
I was too shocked... The prices are the same, but it's the holiday season and many mechanics are closed... Crying
I've done a lot of research and it seems that there is some kind of anti-theft cover, but has anyone actually worn or had one installed?
I asked because it would be very painful to have it stolen again even if I put it on newly, and I wanted to know if there is any countermeasure.
In addition, the garage only has space for two cars, and with three cars, one of them will inevitably be parked on the street.

It is true that cutting the anti-theft cover takes time and makes a lot of noise, but the rivets that attach it can be easily removed with a drill. It is also very quiet.

If the population is small, the number of thefts will naturally be small, and if the population is large, the number of thefts will naturally be large.
So, do you know of any sites where thefts are calculated as percentages (probability , , probability , probability , probability , probability)?

I had the same damage about a month ago, 2009 Honda CR-V.
In the morning, I heard an alarm and looked outside to see a couple of people running away in a hurry. I checked the car at that time and was relieved to see that the door had not been pried open, but when I started the engine, there was an explosion. One side of the car was completely cut off and the other side was cut off in the middle.
I called the insurance company and they seemed very familiar with the situation and explained, "We know it's not something you did ( ) such as a scratch on the body and your insurance will cover it ( $ 250 deductible ) and it will not raise your insurance. " he explained to me. I took it to the store right away and was told they don't have the parts in stock because of all these crimes lately and they don't know when they will get them. It took 10 days to get the car back.
I told a few people at work about it, and there were 5 cases of damage among my friends and acquaintances !
My friend who drives a Prius said he heard about it and immediately put a cover on it. He said he hoped it wouldn't stop people from stealing it, but that it would take time and they wouldn't try to take that risk.
$ He said it took about 300.
There are some cars that have converters on them that are ( certainly not ) stolen, and other cars that are hard to steal. I think it is a good idea to check other cars parked in the garage and consider replacing the location !.

Problem / Need advice

I wonder if anyone else has the same problem... I thought I would start a topic.

I have been coming to the US for about 20 years.
I did not come here because I wanted to, but because of my partner's situation.
Everyone has different reasons for coming to the U.S., and they may have different reasons, such as study, work, pursuing a dream, etc.
I think it is more like a dream. I didn't come to the U.S. with a positive attitude, and I still suffer from stress and anxiety and think about Japan.
Since I have spent every day in such a negative way, my English has not improved because I keep running away from it, and I continue to have a strange feeling of discomfort, as if I have missed the opportunity to get used to a very normal daily life.

Is there anyone else in my situation?

There are people who come to LA because they want to live there, or because they want to get married and have children.
New York is full of people who have a dream and a purpose.
It's too much of a mystery why people come here to have children and be a housewife after winning a green card. Why don't they just stay in Japan? ? I don't understand why they come to the US. Well, there are a lot of people like that who are strange and have their own habits, so I guess they don't feel comfortable in Japan
I am a green card holder!
But even if you have a green card, you can only waitress at a Japanese restaurant.

What a couple, there's a lot going on. I don't think it's about playing the victim or divorcing. I feel sorry for people who change their IDs and write for the purpose of melancholy. The more desperate people are for a living, the more they drive others into corners without compassion, so you shouldn't worry about them too much. It is not so unusual for people who have been here a long time and are still getting used to life.
This is especially true if you are immersed in the Japanese American community.
My acquaintance laughs it off, saying, "I still hate English ~.

How about getting physical or finding a hobby?
