Who says you can't take it with you? And who said that, anyhow?

But I wonder if she has a will. It's good to see a Japanese person plan for life's end but I wonder if it goes beyond the superficial purchase of real estate adjacent to other dead famous people.

"Ayumi Hamasaki is only 31" To a Japanese woman the year 30 is death. Just ask my girlfriend. She is 29 and talks about her coming birthday like the apocalypse. I wouldn't be surprised if Hamasaki-san already goes there to lie down, trying find a comfortable spot.
