Nice article de luca. Unfortunately most of the JT comments are focusing on trying to find a boogy-man for the current worldwide meltdown. My advice to everyone is get over that.. that doesn't put cash in your pocket. Get on to thinking along the lines of de luca, face reality..…

Some funny comments! OK.. I'm going to stick my neck out here... I have actually seen William Silk perform at a medium sized Jazz venue in Roppongi Tokyo a couple of years ago, then met him afterwards. Pleasant guy but more importantly.. great voice.

I just cancelled a flight with Jetstar and only got a 30dollar cancellation fee. Cancelled with one week to go before my flight so was pretty happy about that. Haven't actually flown with them from TKO yet.

The problem isn't the Kubota or the police.. it's NAGOYA: not the end of the world but you can see it from there.

I'm sure if he just says sorry he'll be ok. Oh no. That only works when politicians break the law.
