And this is an incident that happened more than half a year ago. kodansha is publishing an article from September 2024 on yahoo japan in January 2025.

Why did this company make news about an old article that is more than 6 months old as if it were current?
This is ridiculous.

TSeems like this company is ignoring copyright laws.
And this link is full of ads and the article is unreadable. It is a very bad article.


When an article is published on yahoo japan, the company is compensated

And the comments on this article are mostly criticism of China. Similar content was posted in a short period of time. No one commented on the source of the article. The yahoo japan system should be improved, the more comments, the more revenue.
Here’s the Singapore media article that was quoted but withheld the name of the company and the date

Beyond a kotatsu article, a cut-and-dried article.
The writer of this article is vicious, but I think the admin has a problem too.





A company that uses articles from other companies to run a paid subscription business. Where can we find articles you have covered?
I contacted this company in Singapore.
I think the lack of a link to the source of the quote is very malicious.
I have been waited to hear back from the Singapore company.
Essentially this is what this company should get compensation from yahoo japan.
I may post about this Kodansha on a large social networking site in Singapore.

I once contacted a Japanese publisher and told them not to publish an incorrect article from Singapore on yahoo japan news. They did not show any remorse at that time. The writer was a Japanese woman living in Singapore. She had little or no experience as a writer. I should have declared it to the Singapore government at the time. The quality of the Japanese media is a combination of poor quality writers and poor quality management.
