It seems like Noriko Sakai's eligibility to attend the Souzou Gakuen University, despite her previous drug using, is hurting its reputation and image. Apparently, Japan is vehemently resenting the current and former drug users and any business which is associating with them.

Beautifully glowing lanterns standing in the front of the highly contemporary buildings. The conversion of environment means money for the unidentified international investors. The international officials always tell the ordinary people how to conserve environment for a few decades, but never show them their financial/money-making schemes. Too many secrets which they possess.

I am never, never a fan of this American golf player since the very first time I ever heard about him in 1990s. Wow. His true colors is finally revealing to amuse and shock the public. I am not surprised at all and keeping everything to myself.
I am heavily sympathizing with his European wife, who is probably realizing that she is marrying to a wrong guy who has a completely distinctive background and born in America. A humanistic male or female need to take into consideration when not to quickly admit a person due to his/her recognization, power, achievement, and money. Personality, similiarity, and background come first. His mistake is teaching men, including myself (despite that I am a single and unmarried man), a very valuable lesson.
He is reminding me of Noriko Sakai of Japan very much, but at a potentially worse scale: paparazzi, rapidly declination of positive reputation, advertisement withdrawal, and sponsor losses. A sex scandal is a big deal to America, as a drug scandal is to Japan.

I think that Noriko Sakai is secretly working for the Japanese government. Her job is similar to a secret agent (like a FBI informant in America). She is getting paid to act for the Japanese government to get more Japanese to be interested in nursing, because Japan is suffering a serious nursing shortage and not wanting to hire too many foreigners as Japan's nurses. Quite suspicious.

Wow! Noriko Sakai certainly looked attractive! But, unfortunately, her nice clothes could not hide her problem. It is still too difficult for her to completely escape her old habit, especially like getting off the illegal drugs which she recently used. If she is not sufficiently determined, her new self will be gradually enticed to return to her old self. Establishing a new goal will probably not be able to save her as a person with a new reputation. Fixing her mistake is a lot harder than it looks, unless she chooses a right path, such as changing her career, from high-profile acting to low-profile nursing.
Is she letting the Japanese media to keep following her until she completes her schooling and get a new job in nursing? I hope not. It is not necessary for Japan and the world to know everything about what is she doing.
Ironically, the Sun Music Production Inc is still with her, despite that the rumor indicated she was fired by her company. Why was President Masahisa Aizawa walking with Noriko Sakai, although that her path was now very different? Real-world nursing and entertainment-world acting don't mix up. Hopefully, everything she is doing is not scripted and designed to reshape Japan in a false way. Is she currently paid to be an underground/concealing actress? I am wondering.

Must be interesting. It will be nice if I visit Ginza’s Naimiki-dori, although I don't drink. I will be glad to order a glass of Coke and seafood meal. Do they allow foreigners?
Maybe Hakuho is better off and happier if he is a monk who is begging for food than spending Y1 million (~$11,000) on alcohol, food, and untold things.

The Federal Reserve, not the White House, is actually running the U.S. government. Obama is a merely representative of the U.S. government. Ben Bernanke has more power because of his finanical manipulation on our nation, that is connecting to money which we are extremely depending on. No money = no living.
The Federal-Reserve-driven U.S. government is expecting Japan to help them in advancing their military adventures in the Middle East, otherwise harassment will be incited against Japan.
The U.S. government should be constantly reminded that we the ordinary Americans, not the high-ranked officials, owns it. We are growing tired of excessive military-related issues, news, and products.

Sometime, people need to learn how to "deattach" themselves from things around them, as Buddhism indicates. They don't need to be attached to the racial politics and anti-racial politics. They should try to empty their minds and try to stay tranquility through meditation. A land, above vastness of ocean(s), is just a land. A color is just a color. A human is just a human. Nature is just nature.

Sorry. My apology. Just a bit of commonsense. Yes, my question does make a point. We are all concerned about the mainstream media's way of reporting. Biased or not? Your decision. JapanToday is a part of it, too.
Everything seems to be repeated for many decades, but slowly something is changing for better or worse, contradicting or according to someone's wish. It will - guaranteed.

If Japan and United Kingdom make a deal to switch all of their people, UK's 61,000,000 people will live in Japan while 120,000,000 Japanese people will move to UK.
UK people will have to learn how to read Japanese language, take care of rice fields, adopt Buddhism as their main religion, and operate the high speed trains, as Japanese people will have to get familiar with English, Christianity, and Western politics.
Then, will the mainstream media take a shot against Japanese people by writing an article entitling, “Yellow-supremacist fringe party invited to take part in BBC program”?

What a strange method of distracting the potential criminals. But so interesting theory, indeed. It is helping me to think about my blank front yard twice. Unfortunately, nurturing flowers in a yard means greater responsible and burden.

Very, very, very shameful at the United States Department of Homeland Security and the United States Department of Justice for not doing their jobs! They go to the hell!!! Too many corrupted officials working there. They are more interested in protecting the Yakuza than the ordinary Americans.

Oh well! I am treating Tadamasa Goto (and his Japanese associates), Jake Adelstein, and some officials in the U.S. government as if they are "accomplices". Very twisting! The FBI is being messed up!
I am starting to believe that Tadamasa Goto and Jake Adelstein are actually good friends, instead of acting as real enemies. I think that Jake wrote a "Tokyo Vice" book to save himself and the Yakuza, while making the FBI to look bad. His book is developed to misguide the world.
I am assuming that Jake and Goto are partners who are both involved in criminal businesses, such as associating with underground banking (a central bank can possibly operate and function as an underground bank) and reinforcing the international criminal organizations.

I think that this sentence is a bit confusing. I did misread it. At first, I thought that liver transparents were intended for the rich American people. But it turned out to be the four Japanese gang members, including Tadamasa Goto, who were receiving the liver transparents at UCLA. Wow. Shocking.
The FBI was willing to help him, because he was going to give them more information about the Yamaguchi-gumi front companies, Japanese gangs, and mobsters. FBI had long suspected that the Yakuza was involved in money laundering in the U.S.?
Very, very, very ludicrous and insane!!!!! Why did the U.S. government "allow" the yakuza to visit the U.S., so they could perform money laundering? Very scandalous! The U.S. government has very, very notorious reputation for allowing criminals from different countries to enter in the U.S. Then the FBI, who are the agents of the U.S. government, wants to know a bit about the foreign criminals' businesses, after they do something bad in the U.S.? So stupid and ironic! Why doesn't the FBI investigate the corrupted U.S. government in the first place?! I am greatly irked by the U.S. government's endless scandals!
I have found a much better article which explains about the Yakuza's relationship with the FBI on the liver transparents.

According to my perception, Jake Adelstein, American himself, is considered more powerful than a Yakuza member, because he knows how to be nosy around the distant foreigners' business or maybe lie a little to boost a public's interest.
