To the administers of this test, EPIC FAIL! Again! These stupid eigo players ALWAYS have lots of broken players, it happens every damned year & it will again & again & again, idiots!

This is all so so so incensere, and utterly pathetic.
It really makes you wonder what scale of white collar crime one old school J-geezer needs to be suspected of before he is even investigated by the keystones etc
Yet at the same time grandpas & grandmas are arrested daily at supermarkets all across the country for shoplifting, WTF!

Kizuna the word the mean everything & nothing, anything goes, can be used for any situation you want, it all can be "explained" with the mighty kizuna.
Actually I feel sorry for the word kizuna, it has been seriously abused the past year or so, give it a holiday!

tkoind2,
I have often said that most people around me in Japan are NOT happy unless those they & those around them are sufficiently miserable.
Misery loves company as the saying goes, perfected pretty well in Japan. That & throw in an often fatalistic attitude many have & here we are.
but I dont play that %$#@!

Clearly a lot of what we pay for in Japan is of VERY VERY low value for money, until the locals clue in to what value really means we all will continue to be fleeced.
You can find some deals, like hard booze, gee I wonder why that is, opium of the masses anyone! SSakai you CANT buy real beer for Y100-Y150 per can unless its about to expire, I buy cases usually &about the best I cid ever do is around Y180-Y190/can, sometimes you might do a bit better on some imports.
