For those people who are uninformed the Japanese are far from being tadikim. They have one of the most powerful,blood thirsty and wreckless mafias in the world. The Yakuza. So much for their strict prison sentences. Thay let clean up their own house first,and make an example with their own kind.

“Rehabilitation work…….will emerge fully rehabilitated” ?
Youre making it sound like hes an addict os something. The only rehabilitation this kid needs is from the days he spent in Jail.

People should realize the Nisim that transpired in this verdict. I recall not too long ago the press reported that it was 99.9 % certain that the sentance would be 15 years hard labor compared to similar cases with that verdict. Due to increased Tefilos and Tehilim worldwide,the sentance was significantly reduced. Who knows if more people were to take time and daven with extra concentration, maybe he would have been totally exonerated. The next time around when the sentance is due for the other 2, there should be an obligation for every city to gather en masse and pour our hearts out to the Ribonei Shel Oilam, maybe then a verdict in our favor will transpire.

If Japan is agreeing to allow him to serve in Israel, this is wonderful, and I wonder there is someone we can write to in Japan, something along these lines:
We fully appreciate the scourge of drugs on society and Japan’s strict enforcement of laws to prevent societal damage. We appreciate your generous and good-willed gesture to allow this young man to serve his sentence in his own country. Israeli prisons have done excellent rehabilitation work with willing prisoners; this young man will emerge fully rehabilitated and will only contribute meaningfully to society in the future.

as bad as this sounds, theres still chasdei hashem in this.

Although this is terrible it appears that there is some real Chasdei Hashem here. After all they were originally talking 12 years. We must still daven that he should be allowed to go back to Israel at least.
