I have been in Japan for a long time and have read this same story so…
The company should be renamed from Oricon to "Lori-con" (Lolita complex).

SWEEEEEEEEEEET! This endorsement is huge,as verified by the string of hysterical posts.
From the drift of many of the responses, the nasty repugs are eating their own. Colin Powell admitted his lowest point in his career was when he gave the U.N. speech showing the WMD. LOL His endorsement of Obama is a a repudiation of the Bushies.

Magic and Bird. Sometimes there has to be an equally great opponent for a star to shine. Plus they made a sport fun to watch.
Ali tearing down his adversaries brings him down a notch.

In order for this campaign to work, there needs to be a cute talento or a cute mascot. If not, Japanese cannot relate.

Dangerous people around every corner, which validates my inherent mistrust of strangers. Anyway, how did a 1 year old baby wander off?

Yep, I also saw that program. Pathetic really. A whole lot of face was lost in not getting a medal, but to get sent home by "low level" players must really burn. Especially considering Japan never won gold.

Congratulations to Korea, Cuba and the USA in this Iast Olympic baseball game.
I got a good laugh last night listening to the excuses the Japanese used for losing 5 baseball games to supposedly inferior competition. The Olympic strikezone was mentioned, as was G.G. Sato(man, he sucks bad!). But the best excuse has to bethat Japanese baseball(yakyuu) is different from Olympic baseball.har

Ueno was incredible. What will Japan have left for the gold medal game? Kind of strange format they're using. The U.S. could possibly lose the Gold medal to a team they demolished twice already.

I will not sugarcoat their lost. They were destored by a fearless Korean team. A real letdown performance from the Japanese ladies considering their previous match against the Koreans.
サァ〜〜ッ

WOW Japan seems to have been totally humbled in their rematch with Korea for the bronze. I expected a tight match, a 5 set thriller. Instead, I saw a scared Japanese team annihilated.
サァ〜ッ ouch!
