I can get the first passport photo on the app
but on the second one it says "no access token".
What can I do to fix this ?

Does anyone know how to fix this ?
My phone is android.

The language is Japanese, of course, but
I can't change the region, only the Google Play payment
was changed to Japan.

Since you are asking about IRA/Roth IRAs, not Annuity, ?
then you can only accumulate in the years when you or your spouse has earned income.

If the private pension you are talking about is really a private pension, it would be best to contact the company.
If it is a social security benefit, the details will vary depending on your age, credit, etc. Please contact the company at https://www.ssa.gov/で調べるのが確実です.

I guess it doesn't matter if you are gainfully employed or unemployed to join ANNUITY ? Whether you have the funds to accumulate or to deposit a lump sum.

I am planning to buy an epilator from Ulike, but I wonder if it is better to buy one in Japan or in the US ?

I live in the US, but every summer I go back home for 2 months and have plenty of time to spend there. I have a lot of time to spend in the U.S., so I was wondering if it would be better to buy in the U.S. ?. If I buy it in the US, I don't think I will take it with me to Japan. It is simply because it is a hassle to bring it back home again.

I don't know about voltage and such, so please let me know if you have knowledge. Thank you very much.

Is this what you call an electric hair removal machine?

Alexandrite Laser hair removal machines

Please google the above English text. This would be like putting one of your shoes in a travel bag.

Maybe, the voltage difference between 100V (J) and 120V (US) can be ignored.
However, if it is a 120V product, it might work a little slower in Japan. It is a little.

I checked amazon, there are many manufacturers.

Sorry, I was going to delete the topic because there were no responses, but I couldn't get it to go away.

I'm thinking of buying an epilator called Ulike. I'm in disbelief because I haven't received any response to my inquiries from Ulike in either Japan or the US, but with Amazon, it's https://a.co/d/alCYhV7です.

I think it would be a good idea to buy it over here and bring it to Japan, but I really want to keep it to only children's textbooks to bring back home. I don't think there is any mention of voltage, but maybe I am just not good at reading.

Mao Mao,

> Buy it here and bring it to Japan

Voltage in Japanese homes : 100 Volt: East Japan : 50 hz West Japan : 60 hz

Local : 120 (110) Volt: 60 hz

The demonstration video on Amazon.com shows a thin white cord leading to the main unit. This means that the AC outlet (120VAC) on the wall of the room is dropped to about 12VAC (or rectified to 12VDC), a low voltage to avoid electric shock, through a small transformer. In other words, even if you pick up and hold the main unit once it is immersed in water at worst, it should be designed so that you will not get electric shock.

Therefore, it can be used with either 100 volts in Japan or 110V ~ 120V in our area without any problem. If by any chance you are electrocuted by using this device, please pass the funeral expenses on to me. :)

Really, rents in Los Angeles have been rising year after year ! Looking at 2025 rent prices, for example, a one-bedroom apartment in Santa Monica is priced at about $3,250, in Koreatown about $2,500, and in Torrance about $2,300. There are considerable differences by area, but the overall trend seems to be one of rising prices. If rents continue to rise at this rate, it will become increasingly difficult to choose where to live …. What area do you live in and how much is your rent ? Also, are many of you considering sharing a room to save money ??

Property prices ( on Zillow and other places ) are rising quite a bit right now, but many of you have been living in your current places for a long time ? and are getting much cheaper rents thanks to rent control. I mean, moving now would be quite expensive,...

Certainly, the rental market in Torrance is quite inflated, with sites such as Zillow showing current rental prices in the $ 2,100 to $ 4,800 range, especially for larger properties and in popular areas.

In many cases, those who live in properties where rent control is applied are able to pay relatively low rents, but if they were to move to a new place, they would have to pay rent in line with current market prices, which would be a big burden.

What will you do with your old family albums?

I have started to organize my personal belongings due to moving.
I have several thick albums of photos of distant relatives. In the old days, people did not store their photos on PCs or cell phones as we do now. The photos in the albums are discolored yellow and do not come off cleanly.
There seems to be some way to save and dispose of old photos on cell phones, but the amount is too much 、、、、
I can't just throw them in the garbage, and I am wondering what I should do. What do you all do?

After the photos are taken and stored on the phone, can the album be thrown away directly into a regular trash bin?

I have removed the photos as cleanly as possible and saved them in case you want to see them. It certainly tears well.
I threw away the album because it was bulky. I put it in the trash as usual. It is the same as throwing away books.

I still have the photo album I got when I graduated from elementary school.

This was the era of black and white photos, of course, including junior high school ones. Oh no, I miss them all.

A little before the baby boom, but there were many students in one class !

About 60 students.

All of them were born a year before the end of the war, but there were very few classrooms.

My father was drafted into the army, but his family was rich and he had a car license, which was rare in those days, or

he was assigned to the automobile corps in Japan. Thus, it seems that he was not likely to die in the open.

And I am still alive here in the farthest land. I am in good health.

Though I am getting dim.

The US has to pay back a quarter of its national debt ( in the next 6 months, and the amount is so huge that it can't pay it
so it has to borrow again
so it wants to borrow again when interest rates are a little lower and Trump is doing all kinds of things to slow down the economy. is slowing down the economy by imposing tariffs and other measures. One economic analyst said.

Additional U.S. Citizenship Documents ( Employment Based )

I would like to apply for US citizenship after almost 25 years of employment based permanent residence, what should I attach to the additional documents section ? There are no specific instructions other than a copy of the back of the permanent residence form. Since I have listed my employment, place of residence, and travel for the past 5 years, do I need to attach a W2 form and 1040 form as proof of employment, as well as travel tickets ? Do I also need to provide proof of employment from 25 years ago ??

Thank you for the information. In my case, since I am applying for US citizenship from employment-based permanent residence, I decided to apply for it myself since it seems that I only need to pay the application fee and a copy of the front and back of my permanent residence card. I will not be able to delete your topic once it is created, so I will leave it as it is.
