In Japanese it was called Jet Mogura (Mole).
However, Wikipedia says that this was the name it was given when it was sold as a toy, and that it was called Moguraa on TV.
This model also comes with a tank.

It's sightseeing.

This is what it looks like from above.
The railway tracks run above the casing.
This area is called Umeda, and although it is commonly thought to be a combination of Ume (plum) and Ta (rice field), it should actually be Ume (to fill in).
The land is reclaimed from the sea.

The Thai-flagged carrier Mayuree Naree was hit north of Oman. The Japan-flagged container ship ONE Majesty and the Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier Star Gwyneth were struck off the UAE coast.
The Japanese ship suffered a 10cm hole in its hull and was heading for a safe anchorage.

That's right.
I want it to end quickly.
I don't want people to be killed, and I don't want oil prices to go up.
Even without that, the value of the yen has been falling.

They have some very strange eyes.
Some species, like the horseshoe crab, seem to have a third eye.

That may be true, but it is unclear whether Iran really wants to close the strait, and whether its missiles are actually aimed at anything other than Israel. In such a situation, both countries are just a nuisance.

Most of the crude oil that Japan imports passes through the Strait of Hormuz.
It's a real nuisance.
I think the US should withdraw.

At the sewer construction site on Shin-Midosuji in central Osaka, the shaft casing has risen 13m.
The railway tracks are almost there.

That method doesn't work because the flag isn't raised.

Цікаво відзначити, що на кінчику поплавця також є позначка національності.
Можливо, це тому, що це корабель.
