“By showing various aspects of Japanese public opinion and trends, we can promote a better understanding of Japan around the world...”

What? You mean conservative, restricted, policed views will be broadcast.

The only way people will ever understand Japan or any other country is by living and working in that…

CS gas or pepper spray to the boys face would have not only stopped him, but scared him enough to think twice next time - actual damage to him. Warning shots will scare him now, but not later thinking the police will…

The word for so many Japanese boys/men today is: Metrosexual.

They are boys, not men by the way, even though they are in their 20's;)

Female teens spend less time than males on sports, exercise

Softbank is still a bad company regardless.

Customer support is terrible, almost everytime, on the phone, or at the shop: a lot of ill-mannered, Japanese staff.
