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.

19 Then where do you pay your taxes ？ ？
You've never paid taxes in the US.

Don't worry, just report it to the IRS
and go back to the country of the passport you have.

It is not up to the person who wrote it to decide if it is fact or not. Only the person who reads it decides if it is fact or not.

I wrote a real experience and you believe it or not. LOL

I see, idiots don't learn, so they seem to spend their old age in a bad way.

I'm sure it's your own hype, even though you wrote about your real experience.

It's not hype, but there's no way to check hype posts to make yourself look bigger.

I feel like we are about to start a recession. I am worried every day about how long it will take to recover.
I would like to know what I should do to prepare for the future based on your previous examples.

I still haven't bought a house and my rent and living expenses have skyrocketed
I am struggling to make ends meet every month.

Please advise me.

If you are unsure, just earn it. Any way you can. You don't understand that you are in a situation now where you have to worry because you have never taken any action just to say you are worried. But there are many people like this, or rather most of them, and they never act.

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.

https://www.change.org/p/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E4%BA%BA%E3%81%8C%E5%A4%96%E5%9B%BD%E7%B1%8D%E3%82%92%E5%8F%96%E5%BE%97%E3%81%97%E3%81%9F%E9%9A%9B-%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E5%9B%BD%E7%B1%8D%E3%82%92%E4%BF%9D%E6%8C%81%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E3%81%8B%E6%94%BE%E6%A3%84%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E3%81%8B-%E9%81%B8%E3%81%B9%E3%82%8B%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E3%81%AB%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E3%81%9F%E3%82%81-%E7%A7%81%E3%81%9F%E3%81%A1%E3%81%AE%E9%81%8B%E5%8B%95%E3%82%92%E5%BF%9C%E6%8F%B4%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%81%8F%E3%81%A0%E3%81%95%E3%81%84

I am living in OC for a period of a few years.
I have been to some of the famous beaches and shopping malls, but
I would like to know if there are any hole-in-the-wall places that the locals recommend.
In addition to recommended tourist attractions, stores, and restaurants in OC, I am also interested in historical buildings and nature.
If you are a local, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

I don't know anyone in particular directly or anything, but it seems like a lot of people have moved from California to Texas in the last few years. Is there a reason why ？

my friend's sister, my friend's middle school teacher, a friend of my roommate from school, the sister-in-law of a manicurist I went to, my cousin's ex-husband, the mother of a friend from school …

all of them are different races and ages. They're all from different parts of the country, but after two years, I thought Texas ？ again.

If you say it just happened, well isn't that an amazing coincidence ？ 😂.

If it has been developed for residential use, the builder has modified it.
If it is a wasteland, it is cheap because no one has modified it yet.

I moved from California to Texas and back to California again. I don't want to go back again.

In my personal opinion, the houses are cheap, but property tax expensive. The houses are spacious, but they are hard to clean and there are hurricanes and tornadoes in some places, so it costs a lot of money to repair the houses. Public expenses such as car registers are expensive. Japanese goods are expensive. Airline tickets to Japan are expensive. Utilities are expensive. Gasoline is cheap, but there are many toll roads. It takes a long time to drive anywhere. Not many activities unless you belong to a church. Fire ants and mosquitoes are common and it is very hot, so there are not many children in the parks. The Japanese community is small and rumors abound. Meat is cheap and tasty, but eating out is expensive (about $15 for a bad ramen 10 years ago). Many people are politically and religiously biased, and southern hospitality is only on the surface. Medical care is well developed, with a medical center, but the cost of medical care and medicine is high.

I lived in a city, but there may be differences from place to place.
I would not recommend it unless you have a large family and need a big house.

Thanks Texan ！ That was very helpful. My husband is about to be transferred and I'm not sure what to do. I have the right to choose, so I'm just asking. I personally was getting tired of the Japanese-American community here too, but I guess it may be similar no matter where you go. It is hard for me to leave because I have to take my child to a remedial school, but sometimes it is hard to hear rumors and backbiting. I think California is blessed to have a great climate and be able to drive anywhere and get everything, so I'll think it over. Thank you very much for your help.

Cell phone company mint spectrum looking for cheap rates

I am currently using metro by T-mobile.
I recently found out about a cheap plan from a cell phone company called Mint.
If you are using it, I would like to know about the signal, price, etc.
The other day I received a notice in the mail from Spectrum about a cheap plan as well.
Both Mint and Spectrum have almost the same rates with Unlimited, but I am not sure which is better.
If anyone is using either
please give me some information.

I wouldn't say it's fake because the proponents are saying what they are promoting. If they made a video of the opposite, it would be fake, but
there are things you can and can't say
it can't be a fake or parody
they don't have the common sense to take this as a parody I'm surprised there are people out there who don't have the common sense to consider this a parody.
