herefornow: Unless I see Schwarzenegger himself is endorsing this film, I won't be seeing it no matter how many J-celebs appear. Would rather rewatch Terminator 2.

Is anything musicians do really "new" anymore? This's better than your dime-a-dozen boring poses of band members or the AKB48 type "Hi, we can't fit all our members on the cover, so here's the important ones in tiny squares that still can't sing, play instruments, dance, or think for themselves but at least they're cute" album covers.

Release all the JT posters onto Kim's personal computers, denouncing NK like so until Kim gets so mad he'll throw a tantrum and lob a missile at Seoul. Seoul is aware of this JT tactic and battle ready, thus the missile gets taken down before harm is done.
NK does the 1st strike, and they're gone in a week; peace is restored all thanks to the JT posters ;)

Because teens in Japan have absolutely ZERO supervision or parental guidance?
Um, police? J-Police are armed and trained to handle big bad criminals, but not loitering teens suspected of vandalism? Do teenagers have no parents? Can none of these places rely on police to do their jobs? My parents would disown me if I was even suspected of vandalism.

zaichik: you hardly ever see average members of the public because the average member would either:
Do almost exactly the same thing as the tarento would, thus making all tarento seem normal and become obsolete.
Do nothing, be silent, and look embarassed just like in Junior High School, for fear of losing face and sticking out from the crowd. Boring people remind others of their own hopeless lives and are not fun to watch.
Do things better than a tarento would, charming audiences with their informed opinions or singular quirkiness, thus overshadowing current tarento and make them lose money and fame.

I thought this was about Speed Racer. Mach 5 goin' nationwide!
I'm sensitive to racism and very offended by this. Rename it "Universal Love" or "Color-doesn't-matter Love" or they'll not get one yen from me!

N Korea says this and that, but it could just as likely be another missile and not a nuclear missile. Everyone knows N Korea is not above lies, intimidation, and brash actions with little to no provocation. N Korea will never ever attack a nation with a nuke, and China will never ever bankrupt the U.S.
If N Korea blasted, or attempted to blast, say, Tokyo. The full force of the developed world would bear down upon them, and even China could do nothing, or join against the belligerent nation, for obvious reasons. China will never bankrupt the U.S.A. Bring down their biggest trading partner? The World's biggest trading partner? In favor of who, Japan? Create a recession that would basically stop the world?
N Korea needs to be ignored...at least for the time being

I still have not received my 12,000 yen stimulus, despite sending it off about a month ago. You know where its going? The bank. You know where my Japanese friends put their stimulus money? The bank.
Steady and quick is all well and good, but let us add
intelligentlyin there. How about sending stimulus in the form of coupons, and not cash, so that people are forced to spend it on consumer goods, and not put it away for fear of, say, a future hospital bill for the flu? I am more concerned about the GDP than Aso Taro, can I be the Prime Minister now?Posted in: Aso concerned as Japan's first quarter GDP shrinks at record pace

The cons FAAARR outweigh the pros, and in fact one of the pros topics belong in the cons. Actually, is administering only the pros too much for the J-gov?!
What are they thinking? This is a preposterous plan that has heavy long term penalties, tie-ups, and general problems. I read earlier that Japan wants to increase it's soft power and encourage more people to enter. This is not the way, in fact it'll encourage leavers! Keeping this a secret doesn't help, either!

Stop with the line drawing! It's getting tired.
Adriana is promoting her line of cosmetics so she HAS to look stunning and ravishing 100% of the time. Mona's just there for the ride...looks like she was about to say/do something when Jun Sato took her photo.

Aki may be rich and famous, but she's not that rich and famous. It's common sense to carry some form of I.D., maybe in her purse or something, that shows her age whether she's on location or not. Yet we're talking about a vacuous thing here.
Like Mark McCracken, feel no sympathy for her in this case.

That's right. Communism sounds good on paper, but put it into practice and you've got a monster far greater than what capitalism could ever become.

That's right, if there's anything anyone knows about NK, it's that that honesty is not on their agenda.
If they disappear, it will be America, and possibly China, that will be on their doorstep next. Let's hope Dear Leader has some sanity left.

Mark Herr!! An AIG spokesman speaking like a teenager; he deserves a punch in the gut for saying this!
Lynch said the terms had been put in place in December, after Liddy arrived at AIG.
If AIG doesn't go under now, then they most assuredly will soon once people discover how the ones in charge are handling themselves and the company.

It's a "female" robot designed by mostly men...Japanese men. Did you expect "her" to be flat, given this? Just look at "her" expression and gestures, as if saying "Uwaaa, it was this big!"
