Many japanese host families treat their foreign guests as pets; they savour the novelty of having a real-life gaijin in the house. It's just like the movies! But when they turn out to be different from Micky Mouse or Brad Pitt, they turn off. Typical.

Rubbish. I wonder, if the model in the sculputre was japanese... Wake up. This sculpture is going nowhere. Lame houewives just want an outlet for their frustrations.

They nver learn. You'd think that by this age they'd have learnt a thing or two about living and life in general. But no, they stick to their old, stubborn ways and contribute nothing in the way of common sense to their children / grandchildren. Wake up Japan. Take notice of what people with common sense and life experience tell you. It's dangerous to go out on your roof in the snow and try to clean it at over 75 years of age!

what makes you think theyre weak? so people with tank tops, buldging muscles and lame, baggy jeans are strong? these boys wear what their manager tells them to wear. they might not like it but its in their contract. is it because by wearing skinny jeans they can attract girls that wouldnt even dream of being seen standing next to you that you are jealous...?

One less sick, perverted old man to take advantage of a young girl. Couldnt even grow a pair to own up and face the fact that he is (was) a sexual predator. Now look at him.

How many people in this crowd would have a clue as to why or to whom they are celebrating. "everybody else is doing it, so let's do it, too." - seems to be one of the themes of Japan's mass-celebratory events.

I agree with masterbape. "The Japanese" pamper their pets silly, but have absolutely no idea of how to treat it properly or with any sense of care. if it's kawaii, it sells. "The Japanese" tend not to think past the day when the animal gets old and loses it's kawaii-ness. They arent taught right from wrong. Just "kawaii" from "futsuu". Disgusting.
