Japan's Princess Kako leaves for Brazil to mark 130 years of ties
KYODO NEWS - Jun 4, 2025 - 21:19 | All, Japan, World Japan's Princess Kako, a niece of Emperor Naruhito, departed for Brazil on Wednesday to promote ties between the two countries, which mark 130 years of diplomatic relations this year. The younger daughter of Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko will arrive in Sao Paulo on Thursday and plans to visit eight cities, including the capital, Brasilia and Rio de Janeiro. During her fourth official overseas visit, the princess will pay a courtesy call on President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and attend a commemorative event related to the anniversary, according to the Imperial Household Agency. She will also meet with locals of Japanese descent before returning to Japan on June 17. Brazil is home to the largest Japanese community outside Japan, with about 2.7 million people of Japanese descent living there, according to the Japanese Foreign Ministry. The first group of Japanese immigrants arrived in Brazil in 1908 under a government policy at the time to encourage emigration in the wake of an economic downturn and a growing population. Emperor Naruhito visited Brazil in 2008 as crown prince to mark the 100th anniversary of Japanese emigration to the South American country. The princess's older sister, Mako Komuro, also traveled to Brazil in 2018 for the 110th anniversary. In 2015, Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko visited Brazil for the 120th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties.

Media renews criticism of AI firms ignoring copyright laws
The Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association, based in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, includes more than 100 member newspapers and broadcasters from across the nation. (Ryo Sanada) A major Japanese mass media association is accusing artificial intelligence companies of violating copyright protections by collecting, using and regurgitating information scraped from news articles after explicitly being denied permission to do so. In a statement released June 4, the Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association called on AI companies to comply with existing rules, and urged the government to establish and enforce systems to protect content creators and uphold intellectual property rights. In response to the recent rise of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems and other AI technology, many news organizations in Japan have set their websites to explicitly prohibit the use of their content by generative AI. Nevertheless, the association states there have been confirmed instances of AI firms ignoring these restrictions and unlawfully using association members' content—including as clear references in RAG systems. Citing the Cultural Affairs Agency's 2024 guidance on AI and copyright, the association noted that such unauthorized use likely constitutes copyright infringement. RAG systems, which use generative AI to search the web for information and generate responses to user questions, have seen a massive boom in popularity. However, this practice has raised concerns about a growing trend known as 'zero-click search,' where users read only the AI-generated responses without clicking through to the original news sources of the information. Media groups warn that, in addition to potentially generating misinformation, this can throttle traffic to legitimate news sites and ultimately threaten the sustainability of professional journalism. The association's statement described the practice as 'freeriding on news content' and warned that undermining news organizations could 'threaten the public's right to know.'

Japan Govt Loses Suit over Abenomasks
News from Japan Society Jun 5, 2025 18:05 (JST) Osaka, June 5 (Jiji Press)--A district court on Thursday partially nullified the Japanese government's decision not to disclose documents regarding the procurement of "Abenomasks," cloth masks distributed in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Atsushi Tokuchi, presiding judge at Osaka District Court, also ordered the state to pay 110,000 yen in damages to the plaintiff, Kobe Gakuin University professor Hiroshi Kamiwaki. Kamiwaki had filed a suit demanding the revocation of the government decision, saying that it was illegal not to disclose the documents containing detailed information about the state's procurement contracts. In April 2020, then Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced plans to distribute cloth masks to all households in an effort to combat the pandemic. The government signed 32 no-bid contracts with 17 companies to distribute the masks, including those provided to elderly care facilities and elementary and junior high schools. In total, the government procured some 318 million masks for around 44.3 billion yen. [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.] Jiji Press
