The article heading is not quite as Kitano said in words, thus very misleading and can provoke cotrovesy. Media, u've done it again.

Don't get fooled by our government. They never tell us truths until much much later.

As much as we want to "Chop chop" and collect those debris, sometime like now it's getting hard just to survive each day in Japan. But we are certainty very aware that all sorts are out in the ocean, floating, in the water or at bottoms damaging/polluting all sea environment and coastlines in other countries and I know just saying sorry is no way enough...

Arigato Mark. Because I do believe he didn't wants to die, like I once tied rope at a high tree brance ,made a ring, put my head in it, apologised to all my family remembering their faces. I was on the branch for a long time, but couldn't just jump. I think I can say I know little bit more than who has never gone to life's edge that far. I am the coward. I am still living but just living, not because I decided to face my problems. Sometime situation gets too much to solve alone, and I am sorry he couldn't tell anyone.

Never knew there's verb use for the word moon, so I had to look it up, then had to imagine and figure out the act. But isdoesn't it have to be in plural, I mean, "to moons"... I still find it hard.. is it like moon = shining, buttock = shiny or what?!

Who knows if the Emperor himself is hoping to rest and let his son take on his duties now. I myself, seeing how he visited the earthquake devastated areas 7 consecutive weeks feel the Emperor still wishes to be active and keep meeting and cheering for us. If the surgery was his own choice then the best wishes for the Emperor.

This type of crime's been around in Japanese for quite a while now. We see on TV, newspapers, ATM walls about the newest tactics used and how not to get conned, but the scammers r getting ever more skillful. It's sad to say but old people will continue to be targeted at. I imagined how this lady spent the two days in panic and worry, making the trips to the adressed ATM....

Worked at nursing home, hospital (old peoples' word. There is long waiting lists for nursing homes). Private and pubic sectors r trying to build/set up more services, but Japan's aging population r swelling much faster. So many reasons, all different cases, when a person comes to nursing home. So many who r at home alone or with family. Seeing them (what I saw is only a tip of sad huge iceberg), any help/support will be welcome to them (family members, service providers and minimum-wage-careworkers like me) Young people will (r) carrying the burden? Yes. Should follow other welfare success countries? Yes. Maybe Japanese long life is the problem? To see it as a result of 'academic success+good money job is life in Japan's success, let ur kids study hard, nurture, protect and over protect them, set up good family and prestige, and u r a good Japanese' hidden propaganda by ourselves. Never new the story continues and u might end up as 1 of 4,000,000 aged Japanese with diapers 24/7.

Vikingflute, I first found about Japan whaling when I was living in Tasmania, Australia, surprising hey. But in fact in Japan before the fact was hardly in news. Only recently this started to appear even my local paper of Kagoshima, Japan. When I first heard the Japan whaling bashing news in Australia my first honest thought was, "well, u western people breed tons of cows and kills each year". But now I know these issues r separate and after seeing whale breeding on TV, because of its enormous size, the cruelty looks as bad as slaughtering humans.

"the fleet aiming to catch around 900 minke and fin whales," We most Japanese (who never eat whales nor even think about it ) would've never known just how many whales r being caught by Japan. Our ignorance is worse than those catching whales.

Any change that overturns big institution or traditions/habits is worth trying, as a Japanese I am excited if they will really do this.
