    “I debuted in Taiwan back in March 2006, and since my peak at the Red and White Singing Contest at the end of that year, things have been going slowly downhill, and I feel I’ve reached my limit,”

    DJ OZMA never had any high limits to begin with. His act…

    Koukaku lost its lustre and prestige a long time ago. Before, it meant something to be invited. After NHK began literally buying top performers to appear during the late 90s and early 2000s, it became no different than how performers buy their way on to shows like Hey! Hey! Hey!…

    As much as Aso puts his foot into his mouth, he has a point with both of these gaffes. Lot of doctors do lack common sense and there are mothers out there who need a whack upside their head in how they raise their children (especially the ones who go…

    The iPhone already as 3~4 % of the cellular market, according to the Mainichi Daily

    The Mainichi report is a bit vague on the details. It seems like they are talking 3-4% of the smartphone market in Japan since they specifically mention the P906i. Looking at the total 3G market…

    Regarding sales of iPhone 3G in Japan : the correct data is : on 391 500 new mobile phone subscribers in July, Softbank got 215 400 new subscription, which means 50% of all market !!!!

    I believe that Appleinsider article is misleading because it is missing some important pieces…

    “I wonder if it’s OK for me to start a new relationship. My divorce makes me feel hesitant about getting involved in a new relationship. If people don’t think it’s too soon, I would like to fall in love with someone right away.”

    wouldn't mind if Waiwai started up as its own raunchy website. I for one would visit it for the pure entertainment.

    The Japanese Smut Portal at Tokyo Reporter is carrying on what Waiwai was doing and translating the same tabloids.

    J-bloggers and ni-channelers were initially the ones who were complaining about the WaiWai section for awhile (going on for several months). One recent posting along with a link to where the ongoing "discussion" was taking place on 2ちゃん.

    Did it take the police 20 minutes to get there or did the police have a stop watch and waited until they were finished or did someone get to "review" the evidence?

    Huh? The N'EX takes approximately 74 minutes from Narita to Shinjuku. That's a far cry from 2 hours. The 53 minute run from Narita to Tokyo Station shares the Sobu line so there was no need to for anyone to place any speed limits on the N'EX since it is…
