I wonder who tipped the police off. Some jilted lover? Yes, it is ridiculous that they stop the show. What he does in his private life has nothing to do with the drama. Imagine if they had the same attitude in the West. All the great music that come out…

This is a lame article. Digital TV offers the consumer a lot including a better quality image and High Definition. The whole article is about one persons opinion on the motives of the officials.

Koizumi and Hosokawa are the only recent Japanese prime ministers that I have had any time for.

rjd_jr's comments are completely wrong. I've heard of kids not being allowed to climb trees without supervision. Kids need to learn on their own. What has happened is unfortunate but playing without adult supervision is part of being a kid.

I blame Mr. and Mrs. Joe-America. Too greedy. Wanted the dream house that they should have known they can't afford.

Nah, just joking. But I think there is blame all along the chain. It's simplistic to blame Wall St. as a whole. As my name suggests looking back at the…

A lot of posters here seem almost to be happy that rich traders are losing their jobs. Smacks of jealousy to me. I'll agree that working in the industry you have to be prepared for bad times as well as good times and these traders should know that. However, it's…

I quite like Ajiko, which is headed up by Ua. I only have one album and I'm not sure they did anything else. Hiki is not too bad, but I don't really listen to her anymore and her English songs (lyrics) are painfully bad. Some 'Every Little Thing' is OK,…

It looks more like a bull to me. This has been around in Marunouchi for a number of years now. I think that this is a global event that started in Switzerland...
