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.

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?

When you have lived a certain length of life, you start to avoid danger by anticipating it based on your own knowledge and experience. So when you see someone fail, you can understand why you think, "Why didn't I figure it out before I did it ？? I think there is more to learn by doing and failing than by just not doing and not failing. I understand this when I am a parent. Parents who teach you not to fail. Parents who scold their children when they fail. Parents who can support their children well while watching over them. The way you scold, the timing, and the way you say things can make a big difference in the way your child learns. After I became a parent, I realized that words are for communicating to others, not for saying what I want to say. Therefore, when I am around people who say things that make me feel negatively, I leave their company for the sake of my children because it reflects on me.

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 ？.

There does not seem to be an airport delivery service, but there are several companies that offer luggage storage services at LAX. For example, why don't you bring your luggage to one of these companies the day before, call them when you arrive at LAX on the day of your flight, and pick up your luggage at the airport? See below.

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.

You wrote honestly

> I am also worried that the same thing may happen in the future as this is a man who once liked someone else while we were in a relationship. I think I should make sure to tell him

part of the story.

However, you said you were long distance for 5 years, how many times did you see each other during that time?
Seeing each other face-to-face is not the only way to fall in love, but not seeing each other can damage your relationship little by little.

You can also assume that the reason he is offering to get back together is because he is no longer getting along with the person he fell in love with.
Whether or not a reconciliation is good or bad is a case-by-case basis, so again, ask yourself.
If you think "I myself want to get back together ！" instead of being swept away, then I think there is a chance for you to get back together.

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.

If you can get benefits just by paying the minimum health insurance fee, which also makes you pay taxes, then it's a win-win situation
And when you shop in Japan, you can show your US passport and get a sales tax exemption
It's great!

It is said that a person can run for office even if he or she is not in Japan, and that campaigning can be done online. If he becomes a member of the Diet, he will be able to return to Japan during the period when the Diet is in session, because he will have the right of arrest. That seems to be one of the reasons why he is running for office.
He has 1.23 million subscribers on YouTube.
