I cannot understand the self-pity: Japan's position that it doesn't take prisoners. Good, no prisoners taken, case solved.

On the other hand, it is too early to cheer for the father: The Japanese ambassador in Prague will make a short discussion with the Czech PM about Japanese investments in the…

I dont understand this. Whenever the J-cops looking for someone (strictly only for just chatting, and nothing else) there are 10 going for a single man's apartment. At least that is what is always in the news, when the suspect runs away and a whole bunch of cop is unable…

I think there is a basic misunderstanding here from many who express opinion. Micheline doesn't say bad critiques, ONLY GOOD ones. So any uptight "I don't care if people like my food" actually sounds more like "Don't even dare to like my food, stupid gaijin."

This would not be a good thing for Japan. Giving voting rights to non-citizens - even in a limited, local sphere - would open up a Pandora's Box tyhat would be near-impossible to close....

Pandora's Box? It sounds more like "let women and the black vote at least sometimes".…

Russia did sneakily enter the war while Japan was losing and did terrible things, with no fight back. True.

You mean, the second time? The Soviets and Japan has already fought a war in the beginning of the wwii that Japan lost, too. Japan was constantly block one whole…

combinibento - It seems I am a much more naiv person, because I got only a "That, of course, is irrelevant to this discussion." moderation for the same comment.

Anyway, lets make our bets if any mayor will got shoot again by some peace-friendly Japanese, for they talking too much…

It is great news! I hope that establishing a high volume export of glass samurai helmets and electronic pressure cookers (designed to be used exclusively with Japanese electric system) will really revive the local economy, and create new jobs for thousands of people.

I wonder if will Japan permit lawyers and translators in those cases. I wonder if Japan will do this bilaterally, and handover Japanese criminals on international request in major crimes like kidnapping, murder or organized crime.. If not, these requests sound rather stupid.
