All I can say is fair play to the man for landing Naomi Grace.

Crap photo. My friend went and took dozens of way better photos than this one (I've reviewed them for hours...)
Yosuke Kawaguchi, were you using a disposable camera?

Where to start with this picture? A caption competition, methinks. Hmmm.
"Vogue took a dim view of the season's collection from Prada. The lack of straps on some of the evening gowns were an obvious faux-pas"

I can see the general public rushing to the aid of the taxi driver when the little siren goes oink oink and the SOS flashes. Or else just pretend they don't notice it.
Ah... I may have discovered its Achilles heel.

Life is too short to drink cheap beer.
But seriously, he forgot to add "shoplifting your dinner from 7-Eleven". That's always an option to save a few Yen.

Mao, I expect he'll post a comment. One of the few writers who does (fair play to him)

This seems to be mainly the writer's 'feelings' on the subject, I don't see any data here to support the headline of the article. (These make the best JT articles, after all....)
My own 'feeling' would be that much of the above could apply to those being laid off with a decent severance package from the finance-industry, who may be able to afford 6 months of riding out the storm, but in the wider context of, say, Japanese language schools (where I understand the majority of students are Chinese numbering in their 1000s) I'm curious as to the net effect. 500 people leave Goldmans or Morgan Stanley and decide to go to school? How many schools in Tokyo? 10 new students each for 50 schools? 5 for 100? Doesn't seem like a drastic market mover.
I'm curious to know if our writer has has any figures, data, etc. to support his thoughts.

This is just freaky. Wait until these 'rubberducky' daleks are chasing you around the house waving the kitchen knives. Then, my friends, you will truly know fear.

Someone (can't remember who) said that you'd think that email would have been invented 130 years ago and the telephone 10 years ago, instead of vice versa, and we'd now all be going "Wow, I can actually speak to someone and have a conversation" and be quite amazed by this great leap in technology and spend all day on the phone. But actually everyone's typey typey typing instead like hamsters on a wheel.

Obviously what's needed here is a 'Haken Ambassador'. An attractive young lady in a bikini on the front page of this website. That should sort things out nicely.
