  This is a scary story. To think you can kill a man by simply hitting him on the head with a champagne bottle. This is very much a lesson in self control and the repercussions of what we consider harmless or unintentional actions that lead to death.

  years of TV and crap movies have led us all to believe that you can punch someone repeatedly and not break your hand or hit someone over the head with a bottle and not kill them. Champagne bottles are especially heavy and very hard to break, not much different from using a hammer. still expect a suspended sentence though

  Hey hey hey, remember: "we cannot judge before we know what he was wearing".

  sarcasm, what on earth are you talking about? he was probably wearing the same suit he wears to work everyday with a notable "hello Kitty" accessory dangling from his keitai. what difference does it make? he is still a weakling who compensated for such by using a weapon over a very minor and common altercation which for all money may have been a completely drunken mistake or just a flimsy excuse to waste a Chinese guy for whatever reason may have been going on in his dumb head at the time.

  I'm not familiar with how are things going at a nightclub late at club, but there are some abnormal things in this story. so a guy hits another guy with a bottle, the other guy passes out, then he wakes up and goes home by himself and he dies? I mean nobody calls an ambulance and the police after a guy is knocked out unconsciously? and then the guy just walks home alone with blood dripping from his head?

  well there is nothing unusual timeon. It wasn't a guy who git hit. It was a Chinese guy hit by a Japanese guy. world of difference.

  Osuga has admitted to hitting Shi, saying that he got angry because Shi made a pass at Osuga’s girlfriend but that he had no intention of killing him

  If he didn't intend on killing him then there was no reason to be hitting him with a bottle- he could have just pushed the guy or yelled at him. Ignorant primitive, he should be sent up the river.

  The Chinese student was assaulted in Koreatown (Shimanouchi) where many people also speak Chinese. Two months after the victim’s body was found, the police arrested the perpetrator who has been hiding somewhere in Hyogo prefecture. Compare this with Ichihashi case. World of difference.

  Didn't you all know physical punishment/abuse is the way all Japanese discipline their kids? It's the done thing! In order to solve issues with children without abuse you need to possess and use common sense. Therein lies the problem. Condolences to the mother.

  I expect there will be "extenuating circumstances" taken into account here for the punishment of the Japanese who killed this Chinese man, just like with the Japanese who strangled the American in Tokyo two months ago. There is no manslaughter charge in Japan to my knowledge, so one can expect no more than fairly short jail terms for the murderers in both cases.

  I dunno how to quote because I'm new to this site, but when hearing something like this makes me (a Chinese American male in Japan) feel unsafe, of course we have to take into account that things like this don't happen THAT much, it's still people in power that decides what actually makes its way into the newspaper. However, to think that you can go to a club, hit on a girl, then end up getting smashed on your head with a champagne bottle by her boyfriend, and possibly end up dying, is scary. Of course, we don't know any of the specific details to this case at all, so can't really comment if the act is indeed done out of racism or any other factors.

  It doesn't sound race-fueled but more like aggressive male-alcohol-fueled. Have you people never been to a night club (in any country) where guys (of any race) get all aggro over 'their woman'? And I'm not surprised that an ambulance/police weren't called either - so many people are unaware of the dangers of comas etc (although head wounds would bleed profusely, perhaps no gash?)

  Stanoue: You make a good point about the competition for women.

  Answer:

  Shi is believed to have died later the same day from a subarachnoid hemorrhage after going home from the nightclub, the police said
