19 year old driver? How old can you get a licence in Japan? I thought it was 20.

There was no reason given for the attack. Sadly, too many people should not be parents. Who, in their right mind would knowingly injure a one month old baby? And, why? Hopefully, although doubtfully, this nut will get the counseling he desperately needs.

Gotta love Japanese culture. A large percentage of their fan base is men in their 30's and 40's. Is the attraction the music? I think not!

I have to disagree with the, "too little, too late!" comments. The thing is, even if some food stuffs are irradiated you have to consume a lot of it regularly to get any negative health effects. Everybody is exposed to certain levels of radiation every day and in moderation it is harmless. Gees, your smoke detectors in your home give off radiation. I am not really worried about this cos I don't eat three squares of Fukushima rice every day.

This is both good and bad. It is hard to imagine the panic it will create in the 20 odd million residents of Tokyo if they find high levels in stable foods. There is also the economic impact to consider. This makes me wonder how true the reports will be. After all, it would not be the first time the j-gov lied, would it?

Wow! What a big surprise this is, not! The rich are crying poor! Sounds like a normal day in Japan to me. Car taxes in Japan are a little more expensive than some other countries, but not as expensive as others. Suck it up boys!

Yubaru - The Tyvek suits block 'radioactive particles', you know, pieces of contaminated dust etc, but the tungsten vests block the radiation emanating from those particles. Get it?

Oh, my goodness! Do you have a black van with loud speakers on it? If Japan was to go to war with China, in defense or not, Japan would be swatted like the spoiled brats they are.

Four of my 25-35y/o male Students lined up for two hours at makuhari-messe on Saturday just for a five second handshake with an AKB48 member. I told them about this article in this evening's class and they are all going home to sign up. They told me they would show me the pictures, to which I replied, "No thanks!"

Hold onto your hats folks! It is not over yet! If this is true it could lead to a far worse disaster than the original on march 11. how long would it take to evacuate Tokyo and where would they go?
