"trouble" doesn't have to mean "crime."

There are so many possibilities...

problems with a rival company... someone wanting a piece of the pie... shady business practices, or the refusal to cooporate with someone else's shady practices... having seen or known about something that he shouldn't have...

etc.

but nothing specific…

Thank God, maybe they'll stop putting butter where it doesn't belong now! Like on top of pasta and steak.....NASTY!

I think this is great news but I think they should avoid using the JPLT to test proficiency. It's only offered once a year, and it often gets overfilled with applicants at that. I have wanted to take it for the past 3 years, but my job has never really…

That's really sad. Sounds like it was a really intense fire if it took them 4 hours to put it out.

DeepAir, hide's name always uses only lowercase letters...that was how he had written it.

This concert is a really nice idea but I think I'll skip out on it. Too expensive (even the crappy seats are the same price as the good ones) and I'm not really into so many…

I saw this kid playing at that small "park" near Sannomiya station with some other jazz musicians a few years ago, when he was only 7! Amazing...the thing that struck me about him wasn't just that he could play jazz drums, but he had a good sense of dynamics and…

What's with all the hating on X Japan? They're plenty talented, and unfortunately I can't think of many current bands that are actively producing the caliber of songs that they have and continue to make.

And they are well-known around the world, don't underestimate their selling power. For their shows…

And yeah the large empty blocks were places that tickets weren't even sold for...emergency space and plus the view from there would have been straight-up craptacular.

About the tickets, I think they purposely delayed sending us our tickets in a timely manner to prevent scalpers and auctioners from trying to…
