Just a another immature part of this culture.There is NO scientific/medical evidence at all.Japanese just like to catogerize people and it's a simple way of doing it.Perhaps it's a conversational thing so some people actually have something to talk about ?

Aah, yes. You sound like an AB type to me.

stone fish has it right "It is a wonderful thing to attribute your personality and character to something which you have no control over. So liberating!".... avoiding personal responsibilty is a full-time occupation for the Japanese, and yes it derives from Nazi eugenics, dropped everywhere else in the world, but a cornerstone of nihonjinron.

Hey, some people base romance on the zodiac. Others on Tarot. Then there are those fortunes outside the temples. Or maybe the latest singles website. You can pick your lunacy. The outcome is likely the same.

What a load of old cobblers. Who's going to beleieve that? It's like the forune tellers wiv the crystal ball at the pier at the seaside, load of old tosh. No normal person would believe that surely.

AlfGarnett,

Haven't you seen the fortune tellers on the streets in Japan? Palm reading is another one, and bet most believe in that too. Why not my left hand then, or my foot!!...is normally my reply to 'observations' about my palm.

northlondon-if you could please refer me to any publication that links blood type to behaviours not the nazi stuff,i will appreciate it.and if u and your wife fight every friday after drinking then i pity you.it is your lack of composure as a man.for your information,i am married to my lovely yuka and i have a handsome boy.maybe ,when you 2 have kids you will not go drinking to come home afterwards to fight.dont attribute your avoidable fights to blood types

You don't want to be rhesus negative in Japan - apparently it's very rare and so supplies of Rh- blood are extremely limited. If you're Rh- and not in the "probably infected with BSE" category (NZ don't want my O+ blood either), then do go and give blood - it might be you who needs it one day.
