I see what you are saying - he doesn't rely on a giant serve or height - but people said the same about Michael Chang, too . He went out and shocked the world with a slam - why not Nishikori?

I see a bright future for tennis in Japan with the lead of this youngster, Nishikori. If he makes the second week like he did in the US Open 4 years ago then that is a huge achievement. Japanese kids in every village and town will soon be picking up racquets, throwing away their baseball mitts and soccer balls, and swarming all over the tennis courts! Will Japan and China be the future kings of tennis? Time will tell...

They all swore that they "slipped in the shower" - that's how the bars got there...

If any of these three end up going on a book tour like Peter Bethune did in his native NZ - the Aussie govt. must collect all of their profits to pay off their debt to the taxpayer. Watson should be banned from any revenue made from (any possible) book...
As an aside, let's all hope the whalers are staying outside the Aussie territories of World-Heritage listed Macquarie Island.

@ SouthSakai:
Please tell me the name of this beer and the shop I can get it in. I will be there tonight. Seriously I have never seen any beer in Japan for 100 yen or a few yen more. (unless it is one of those tiny 100mL cans).

All we can do now is hope that the company that operates the crushed stone facility is bankrupted. Small consolation though for the 200 projects built with the contaminated materials - unfortunately, they cannot be "de-contaminated". They all have to be demolished now. There's more of your taxes gone, people.

BUT the pizza in Japan is the BEST because it is usually topped with mayo and corn. You pay for what you get and it's world 's best.

He definitely has the best name for a candidate : "Huntsman for President" has a strong ring to it. Where I come from, a Huntsman is a bloody big spider! As an aside, looks like them mormon mob have gone on a push to grab control of the free world, no?

That's right - like the Japanese rice which is apparently 700% better than the Japonica rice from California! Jokes aside, I know what you are saying. I love getting my morning croissant put in 3 different plastic bags here and getting the bow. Wouldn't get that back home.

Having lived in London and Sydney before Japan, have to agree with hatsoff. As for fruit and veges being way overpriced in Japan - blame the government (both LDP and DPJ) for protecting an industry that should by rights be dead it is so inefficient and uncompetitive. To be honest, my only "overpriced" gripe is proper domestic beer - ie Yebisu and Premium Malts. What's up with charging almost 300 yen a can for this beer? I love the stuff but not at that price!

I have a suspicion we may also hear "What I did was regrettable and unfortunate."
Hope those college kids are OK. Also hope they catch the garbage who did it and jail them for a long, long time.

I admit I have never even heard of this Griffey bloke - but I'm sure he is an idol to all these kids watching him in awe. Good on him for volunteering!

Well, I have taken my mama-chari to 30 going downhill with dodgy brakes. So there.

Rest in Peace. These guys and girls are hardcore - speedway on bitumen with no brakes is madness in my books. In the UK and Aussie it is only raced on dirt...

Good luck to her - I hope she does play on until 50. She gives hope to all people in or past their mid-30s that you can still compete at sports!
