I was raised in the choooooo inaka though, and I wouldn't want it any other way for my future children.

I wouldn't go as far as claiming this is typical Japanese. There is so much jealousy and animosity between scientists anywhere in the world. You wouldn't believe how childish they can get.
congrats to Yananaka-sensei!

There is so much rumor and hear-say in this article, it hardly qualifies as news. Gotta love the foreigner approach in the media, for all the reasons stated above.
Looking at the ultra-violent M.O., Jake Adelstein says it's probably the Kanto Rengo Kai, a yakuza group that truly doesn't give a fudge about the, in theory, respectable ways of the old school yakuza.

Cults are a serious racket in Japan. There's a whole chapter on it in Shinya Kusaka’s 'Ura Hello Work', Like cults everywhere, they prey on lonely, disenfranchised individuals, and there's a whole lot of those people in Japanese big cities.

yeah cultural hahaha. Corruption flows from countries where people are poor as hell. Where a politician or a police officer are entrepreneurial jobs.

The government is smoking crack. Seriously. Nuclear power is like communism, it works great on paper, but in reality it will only lead to trouble. Last summer in Tokyo the power saving never inconvenienced me. It's time to start dismantling ALL reactors and get ready for the future with sustainable energy. If Japan takes this rigorous step, they will be on the forefront of innovation and economic boom like back in the day when the rest of the world is still messin around with coal, oil and nuclear.

that legal herb is sketchy as hell. Don't try it. I've seen lotsa people smoke it and get totally messed up. I was offered too a couple of times, but I prefer the real thing.The irony is that if he would have smoke some real ganja, this probably would have never happened. A plant indigenous to Japan, and used for all kinds of things over centuries. Ever noticed the heritage is still all over Japan, there's a lot of names and places with the 麻 kanji 麻(P); 苧 【あさ(麻)(P); お(ok)】 (n) (1) cannabis (Cannabis sativa); hemp (plant); (2) hemp (fiber); linen; flax; jute;。But the Americans said it was bad so after WWII it was gone. Mods: sorry for the small off topic, but these are fact a lot of people don't know.

I am psyched on the movement. It's time for the first revolt of the people in Japanese history! If you aren't convinced nuclear power should be abolished, watch prof. Koide's lecture 'why a nuclear specialist opposes nuclear power'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBVQ3B-Jvrw
