I don't know the whole story on this, but I can pretty much guess that she of course didn't have a helmet on. When will Japan change some laws? I am thinking.....never i agree... it's NOT always the drivers fault, but you really think the police will actually give some percentage to the rider? that's why they have that stupid law... " negligent driving resulting in death". It's one of those catch all laws... They automatically say it's the drivers fault...

LOL..................... I haven't laughed this much in a while... thanks Japan Today for posting crazy and stupid articles. My thing is... why a small fry? How about a L size. What they don't want to loose to much money with ALL the young people rushing to apply to McDonalds?.

unconscious in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest. Im no doctor, but when a person has cardiopulmonary arrest doesn't that mean the heart has stopped (meaning dead)? SO how in the world can the person be unconscious? Who writes this stuff?

I agree with GW... Japan does need to clean up how they run their government... Sad to say but maybe japan needs to take a CRASH.. maybe then they will have a wake up call...
But I think I'm asking to much from the Japanese government...

This is one reason why I went out and bought me a washer dryer combo... Just load, turn on and in a few hours they are washed and dried. Some technology here is great.

Thanks for the list. With a break down like that, it does seem we have a lot of land.. Did you mention in the list the land that JWTC sits on is pretty big.

I agree... the people of japan need to have patience... If not, the world is going to see Japan fall even more out of date with the rest of the world. Right now they are in 3d place.. mainly because of the products they make.. what if they don't have those? Crazy to think Japan as a 4th or 5th place country... but only time will tell.

And I quote
Japan, however, has put off such difficult decisions with round after round of quantitative easing in the last decade alone. Government incentives have failed to spur consumer spending or boost its flagging birth rate. Pork barrel spending continues to be used as an excuse for regional economic growth; in reality, new construction projects funded by the Japanese government are being built on credit (in other words, money the government does not have). But they continue to offer the same in prettied-up words year after year without fail. It hasn’t worked.These are just a few things that Japan needs to change and head into the same direction as the other countries in the world. If they don't.... sad to say this, but Japan is going to left in the dust and everyone in the Japanese government will be saying.. what happened, why is the world all growing and we are not... Blaming each other like they already do. I fee 2012 is going to be the same,,, Same 5 PMs in a year (not really), no laws will be updated to match other countries or any new laws wont be put into use ... and not much growth of the country.. Lets see if I`m wrong..

Sounds like Americans and other people in the whole should not buy from those companies for awhile... When their sales go down... it will hit them harder than just paying some big amount... I really don't think they care that much... Or maybe its the Asian way of doing business... either way we shouldn't buy anything from them for awhile..

Trust me for all the people that say... 7 years is good enough. and that they have to live the rest of their life knowing that they killed someone.. that should count for a lesser sentence... Obviously you never lost a child. If you did... you would for sure change your thinking.
What kind of scares me living here in Japan is just this....... If someone in my family gets killed or hurt... they will NOT get the justice they deserve. Japan needs to wake the hell up and change with the time... I keep saying that... tumb me down if you want,,, don't care.. There are so many outdated laws... For this topic, change the law to a higher sentencing.. and NOT just say... well he said he was sorry... oh and here is some money.. Lets give him a low sentencing.. if I were those parents.. I would sue that guy for all he is worth....
IN all... 7 years is pathetic... JAPAN

@Motaz Abumathkour
"Yes, I would admit that I didn't say anything about Apple. But in the case of Panasonic, as I wrote earlier, there have been several corrupt Japanese companies that have lately been brought to light.
Also, Apple is an American company. Why should we, the ones who are living in Japan care more about American companies more than the local ones?"
I second that... I'm an American living here in Japan, although some American companys do get caught in price fixing... I really am not to concerned about them as much as I am for Japanese companies... this is the country I live in and why wouldn't I be more "in tuned" on the going on's in Japan. Things like this may, in the future" affect my quality of life in Japan.

Here we go again, someone acting human and messing up and saying something that got a bunch of people upset.... Get over it... now the Japanese government wont be doing a dang thing.. as far as running this country. They will now focus everything on getting this guy to resign. Sad to think that is how Japan is... This is why Japan is going nowhere... Comes to what I always say.... 2 steps forward and 5 steps back...

It's me...
I'm NOT turning a blind eye.. I am more concerned about what is going on in the country I live in and want to live for the rest of my life in. This is the county I chose to raise my daughter and I am concerned about her future. Please don't think I don't think of these things in other countries. Right now I only care whats going on in Japan.
