Global Entry and TSA

If anyone has had a similar experience with Global Entry and TSA, please let me know.
This was my first time using Global Entry to return to Japan. While I was able to use Global Entry without any issues when returning to the U.S., I was unable to use TSA PreCheck.
When I checked at the JAL counter, I was told that the issue might be because the name registered with Global Entry didn’t exactly match the name on my passport.
When I applied for Global Entry, I couldn’t apply using my Japanese passport name, so I applied using the name I’m registered under in the U.S. As a result, although the name differs from the one on my passport, I entered my Japanese name in the “Other names ( Other names )” field, and my application was approved based on that information.
If anyone has had a similar experience or knows how to handle this situation, I would really appreciate your advice.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
Furiigana in accordance with the revision of the Family Registration Law

As many of you may already know,
the Family Registration Law was revised on May 26th (Japan time), and furigana will now be included.
Those who have a certificate of residence in Japan will receive a postcard from the local government confirming their yomigana, but those who have removed their certificate of residence will not receive any notice.
The following link contains Q&A for overseas residents. I also think that the Consulate General of Honolulu will contact us in due course.
If you have a name that is easily misread ( yourself ) I think it would be a good idea to read it.

I live in Japan, est. and I am in Hawaii. I got my Hawaii driver's license 25 years ago and renewed it once, but I was told like without proof of living here, gas and electric receipts and social security number, it expires in 2019, but I saw a post here and it said that in Waianae you can renew it if you have your passport and license. I read here that you can renew your passport and driver's license in Wai'anae. I would like to know if this is really possible and if I have to make an appointment.

PACIFIC DIAMOND near Ala Moana will buy it, but the price is determined by the weight of the gold, so you should ask for an estimate ? Even if it is from Tiffany, I think it depends on the rank of the diamond, but they will do the evaluation for free, so if you have a warranty card, you should bring it with you. If you have a warranty card, I think it would be a good idea to bring it along.

I have never had an estimate in Hawaii, but
when I went to Japan in January,
I brought it to a buy-back specialist at the mall.
I had outdated rings, one earring, and a worn out Vuitton wallet.
I asked them to quote me 20,000 yen for a piece of sushi.
I was surprised to find that it was 150,000 yen.

Mr. LOVE
I used hospitality to mean in everyday life.
I don't mean in restaurants.
I often receive kindness from people,
so I try to give it to the next person
whenever I get a chance.
If I keep that in mind in my life, there is nothing to worry about.

To place a tip, it depends on the service whether you want to place it or not.
I used to get the worst service in Chixiken, so I tipped for the first time
When I didn't leave a tip, they came after me and I thought I had forgotten something, but it was because I didn't leave a tip.

Don't be too concerned about whether or not to leave a tip
, but at least leave a tip since you used the restaurant.
If the service was not up to par,
it would be good for the restaurant if you could say a few words before you leave
.
Well, if there is room for improvement.
If there is no improvement, the store will naturally disappear.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

My friend passed away yesterday. It is painful.
I guess he couldn't stand the slander anymore,
he committed suicide.
Last week, he suddenly called me and said he couldn't stand the slander anymore
and his name was published
so he wanted to die
I thought he said he wanted to diebut yesterday, the police called me
and told me he committed suicide. 966> It was a friend of mine.
I checked my belongings this morning, and there was no mistake
that it was my friend.
I am sorry to hear this, but I have contacted the Consulate General
to ask you to contact the family.
I'm in a panic right now because of this sudden thing,
I can't even put what I'm writing here together,
but it's so painful that I decided to post it here
to write it down somewhere.
I cried a lot, and
I prayed
that we would always be friends.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

This is a continuation of my previous post about my child's blood test that showed high lead levels, so she was retested. May I ask if I may ask this frustration here ?
The results of the retest were negative, but they charged me $ 90 for the test ! The pediatrician told me that the first blood draw is done by taking blood from my finger and putting it in a container, so sometimes the wrong numbers are given. He told me that usually the numbers are 2 or less, but there were 9. The Lead Poisoning Prevention Program office called me and sent me a booklet. They said that if these lead numbers are correct, even if there are no symptoms now, there will be problems with learning ability. I was very sorry about where my child had gotten so much lead, and my husband was furious with me, and I was worried about what would happen to her life.On a slightly different note, I recently went to my family doctor's office to have a blood test done because I had severe eczema and the itching was painful. When I went to get the results, I found that I had an allergy reading. My family doctor had also ordered an allergy test at the blood test office, but no allergy test was done, and as a result, I was never able to find out what I was allergic to. By the time I went to get the results, the eczema had gone away and I was told that they would not be able to tell without taking blood when I had an allergic reaction. How is this possible ? I would appreciate any sympathy or advice here as well. I think I need to make sure that when I get a proper bill for this, I make sure that allergy testing is not included.

Well, it's different from Japanese hospitals. ?
I know you wrote that $90 is ! different from 30% of everything in Japan, so
I'd be relieved if it was less than $100.
At any rate, I'm glad everything is okay. If you distrust doctors and clinics,
just switch. It's a country where you can do that without regret.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Blood test fee $ 90 is cheap.
I had an allergy test done before, but the items were very detailed, about 100 items, and the co-pay was $ 220.
I was surprised that my insurance didn't cover it ? but
I was convinced that it clarified where my allergy was coming from.
I heard that a friend of mine had an allergy test in Japan
for 219 food sensitivities and paid 5,000 yen, 15,000 yen at 30% of the cost, so it is not an unsatisfactory medical bill.
A patch test, not a blood test, can be done even when eczema is not present, but the cause may be unknown.

Thank you for your comment !
I was frustrated because if my child did not have a blood test, it would have been a few dollars for a 2 year old check up, but $ it was 90. I had visited this pediatrician many times for other than the usual checkups, but I was not prepared for this because they always $ never charged more than 20. If I thought for sure it should be expensive $ 90 might have seemed cheap.
And the allergy test was for me, not the child, and I have not yet received a bill for it. So it may be a test that is not covered by insurance ! I will call my doctor and check before I wait for the bill !
I was wondering if there is more of a problem with the blood test lab than with the doctor's office regarding these two events. I wondered if anyone else has had problems with blood testing recently, but there doesn't seem to be any.

Maybe I wrote that wrong.
$ 220 for blood test was
$ 220 co-pay with insurance.
Without insurance $ it would be over 1000.
I know you are angry about the mismanagement of your child's blood test, but
$ 90 is good because it bought you peace of mind ?
