Quick Glance: Shohei Ohtani Sets New Record for Most MLB Homers

Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani has broken the record for the most homers hit by a Japanese-born player in Major League Baseball.

During a game at Dodger Stadium, Ohtani hit an impressive homer that flew into the right field bleachers off pitcher Adrian Houser of the New York Mets.

With this homer, which was Ohtani's 176th in his six years in the MLB, he surpassed Matsui, who played the final 10 years of his 20-year pro career in North America.

Ohtani's record-breaking blast traveled 423 feet and put the Dodgers ahead 2-0. Prior to this, Ohtani had not hit a homer in seven consecutive games.

Quick Glance: Taro Aso Meets Trump in New York Prior to Election

Ahead of the November elections, former Prime Minister Taro Aso met with Donald Trump in New York as some countries were establishing connections with the ex-US president.

Serving as the Vice President of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party, Aso had a strong alliance with the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who shared a close bond with Trump.

During the meeting, Trump also commended Japan's increased defense expenditures.

The meeting on Tuesday occurred following Trump's involvement in a hearing related to alleged hush money payments to a porn star before the 2016 presidential election.

Dollar at 34-yr. highs in upper 155 yen as intervention line tested - The Mainichi

Quick Glance: Market Volatility in Asia: Impact of Meta's Losses

The depreciation of Asian currencies against the U.S. dollar and potential actions by monetary authorities are at the forefront of Asian markets.

Post-market gains from U.S. tech giant Meta could impact Asian markets as shares dropped by 10% after trading hours.

Concerns surrounding currencies are escalating as the dollar breached 155.00 yen on Wednesday without any indication of intervention from Japanese authorities. Will Tokyo take action?

Given the current environment that led to a rare joint statement on exchange rates from the United States, Japan, and South Korea this month, no possibilities can be ruled out.

Quick Glance: South Korea Objects to Japanese Leaders' Yasukuni Shrine Offerings

South Korea expressed deep disappointment on Sunday over Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's offerings at the Yasukuni Shrine and urged Japanese leaders to show repentance for the country's wartime past.

The shrine is viewed by Beijing and Seoul as a representation of Japan's historical military aggression due to its inclusion of 14 Japanese wartime leaders among the 2.5 million war dead honored there.

The South Korean government calls on Japanese leaders to confront history and demonstrate sincere repentance, which would be a crucial step towards enhancing relations between the two countries.

Despite progress in the South Korea-Japan relationship, particularly in security cooperation, the offerings made by Kishida and some cabinet members at the Yasukuni Shrine have sparked protests from South Korea.
