Dear Ministry of Justice,
How many people have daydreamed of walking away from it all, picking up a new identity and starting life all over again?
I had that opportunity handed to me recently by a most unexpected source — you — the ministry charged with accurately identifying, registering and certifying Japan's foreign population. You're lucky I'm pretty content with my current identity, because someone who wasn't might have been tempted to take you up on the offer or devise a way to profit from it.
