Taxes, health insurance, etc. in Japan and the U.S.

I currently hold US citizenship. To take care of my parents at home, I am an employee of an American company, but I am planning to move to Japan in the next year or so to work remotely for a few years.
So I have a few questions and would appreciate it if anyone knows anything about this. First, I am planning to cancel my health insurance through my company. ？

Is the income for joining the Japanese National Health Insurance based on the calculation that I have no income in Japan? ？ If I use my income in the U.S. as a guide, the premiums may be high.

If anyone is familiar with this situation and would be willing to share links to information, I would appreciate it.

If you don't have any income in the US, you don't need to apply for a tax return in the US

I am in a similar situation, based in Japan. I am staying in Japan with residency status.

As others have said, Non Resident is not subject to the penalty for not having health insurance.


National Health Insurance premiums are determined by your income in Japan in the previous year.
We also report zero income in Japan because our income is derived from a U.S. corporation that we operate ourselves. The annual premium is 15,000 yen.
I put that in the remarks column on my Japanese tax return, and I am prepared to submit my U.S. tax return whenever there are instructions to do so, but so far I have not received any requests to do so.

How do you live?

# Unless your salary is deposited in a Japanese bank and the government knows about it, it is treated as no income.
You are trying to evade taxes.

15 I only wrote the facts.

It's not up to the person who wrote it to decide if it's fact or not.
Only the person who reads it decides whether it is fact or not.

16 If a US citizen lives in Japan and files a tax return in Japan,
he is not obliged to file US taxes.

Americans are not exempt from filing taxes anywhere in the world.

I want to get back together with my ex-girlfriend who dumped me because she was attracted to other women.

A few years ago, I was dating my ex-girlfriend for about 2 years. During our relationship, a woman of my type confessed her feelings for me, and I dumped my ex-girlfriend and started dating that woman.

It has been a year and a half since I started dating that woman. At first I forgave her everything because she looked like an actress, but now I regret it. If we went out to dinner, she wouldn't give me her purse and she was courting me because of my status. Education, income, occupation, etc.

While I was feeling depressed, I bumped into my ex-girlfriend by chance and she had become beautiful beyond recognition. My ex-girlfriend is a great cook, kind, and a great woman to have as a wife. Do you think there is still a chance for me to get back together with my ex-girlfriend?

>I couldn't recognize a woman who was looking for money ？

There is always someone who blames you when you fail
There is always someone who pushes you further
If you try, you will always fail
Failure is a given.

You are lucky to have a relationship with such a beautiful person
Some people can't have a relationship even if they pay for it
There are many things you can't see unless you experience them
Failure is the source of success
Besides

If you are dissatisfied, don't keep her, just break up and find a new partner.

> I couldn't spot a woman who was after money. ？

It's horrible that you are not even self-aware.
First of all, it's your own assumption that the woman is just looking for money. ？ This man should have just said that he would be happy to split the cost of the meal or pay for it once in a while, but he kept paying because he thought he might be rejected, or that it would be uncool, or that he might be rejected. But if you tell them, they might reject you, or they might think it's uncool, or they might be rejected, so they keep on paying. It's not acceptable to say, "You don't have to say it, you know what I mean. It's not cool to be posting here. Let's tell him.

Topi feels that way, but you didn't say that she actually said she was looking for status. In these cases, there is a story from Topi and a story from her side. And since you are not married, I honestly don't even know what you feel she is looking for. If you are just dating, you can just break up with her if you don't like it. It just feels like she regrets breaking up with her ex-girlfriend and blames it on her current girlfriend.

Is there an airport delivery service that can send my luggage ahead to LAX ？?

I am taking 4 boxes of cardboard boxes as checked baggage on my return flight from LAX.
Is there a service like Japanese airport delivery service （ like Yamato GPA or JAL ABC that allows me to leave the country empty handed ）
a few days in advance and send the boxes to the airport delivery service counter for pick up?
Is there a service that allows me to drop off my luggage at the airport courier counter a few days in advance and pick it up in LAX ？

I am returning home with one child and need to sell my car on the way to the airport
I need to take my child to the airport once to check in my luggage, then take her to the airport to pick up her baggage.
It is very difficult to get out of the airport and go to the used car dealer again.
If I didn't have these 4 cardboard boxes at least I could manage ・ ・ ・.
Is there an airport delivery service to send packages to LAX ？.

Recovering from a broken heart caused by cheating

Problem / Need advice

A year ago, a man I had been long-distance with for 5 years dumped me
saying he had found someone he liked.

After that, I was shocked and dragged it out for about 6 months, but
I managed to recover and live a normal life now.
The other day I received an e-mail from that person after a long time
I am really sorry. I finally realized how much you mean to me.
I'm sorry to be so selfish, but can we try again?

This was the content.

I told him that I didn't hate him anymore and that I needed to think about it a little.
I am also worried that once I am in a relationship with a man that I like, it will be the same in the future.

If anyone has had a similar experience
should I get back together or not please advise me.

Trial to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law

Trial for amendment of Article 11 of the Nationality Law
Under the current Japanese Nationality Law, a person "automatically" loses Japanese nationality if he/she voluntarily acquires the nationality of another country.
Now, plaintiffs residing in Switzerland and other countries are fighting in court to amend this. I think this is an important trial for those of us living in the US.
There is a petition campaign on change.org to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law. Currently, about 43,000 votes have been collected, but it would be great if more people would sign the petition. The next trial will be held in September. By the way, I am an individual and not a member of this association.

＞ It seems that about 43,000 votes have now been collected


but how many of them are true Japanese citizens?

If they are not Japanese citizens, the Japanese government will ignore their votes since they have no right to vote （ which does not affect them in any way, so the actual number of valid votes will be much smaller.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I heard that alkaline water is good, so if anyone has used it, could you please tell me which product I should buy ？ I looked on Amazon and found Aqua Ionizer Deluxe $ 800, Panasonic Alkaline Ionizer Water Charter Pearl White TK-AS30 － W $ 300, and I am thinking of choosing Panasonic because of the price and the Panasonic name. I don't think I can tell the difference between the two, but since I drink water, I would like to drink something that is good for my health anyway.
