Is this sushi place near the Yoshinoya on the main avenue or is it the other one near the Mansei bridge?

LoveUSA: Handsome man, at least more handsome of the foreigners I have met in Japan

Really? If he wasn't a billionaire would he still be handsome?

Sir Richard, amongst his worldwide interests, is also a sponsor of the Formula 1 Brawn Racing team

Those who don't know him are the very people who wouldnt know "F1" from the "O2". Those people think car racing starts with Nascar and ends with Indy car. If there were a picture for the word "entrepreneur" in the dictionary then this guys face would be there. Curiously if he were an American citizen and achieveded the exact some success, you can be sure that he would be very well known to all and sundry.

I first became really aware of Branson in the early 90's when he was trying for his adventure ballooning records. I really like the fact he has his own private island..in the British Virgin islands naturally...

I see some ikura there on the table. Did Branson eat that?

is he a billionaire? I do not know who he is. I just see an ordinary guy eating sushi and compare him to my foreign acquaintances in Japan. At least he behaves like a normal guy, going to a normal sushi place, not to a fancy expensive restaurant. He pays more attention to the food than to the woman next to him but i guess that if guys are offered choice between food and women, they will choose food. Men always think about food, if they do not have food they get nervous. If they do not have women they get nervous but they want women only after they ate food, not the other way round. So men are rather primitive.

i think this is probably the root of why he is generally pretty popular

"Men always think about food"

Love knows the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach!

I also see some ika there on the table. Did Branson eat that?

@wolves- not interested in racing. I have no idea about the American or English side. Guess some of us Americans are good about caring about our interests and not sticking our nose elsewhere, right sarge?

Maybe you should do something for yourself besides coveting.

I know of his company, but I could care less about knowing what he looks like or remembering his name. There are 230 people richer than him, and you probably don't know a quarter of them by face or name. Who cares.

I guess some people do. I do not even know who the other 230 people are, but maybe Sarge does. He is all knowing.
IchyaTactics at 04:58 PM JST - 4th June

some people really do have very poor general knowledge...I wonder if Richard really cares if some guys living in bubbles dont know he exists?

I know I do not care if you exist or not. Because I am so safe in my bubble.

Man, this dude is way past due to come up missin' in one of those baloons.

Why can't we (men) buy both, Food and Women? Best of both worlds...ahhh the power of money...=P
