Actually, daisan is right. Japanese commentators tend to be naive. That´s why Japan is not good at world sports: even when they lose, they are put on a gold pedestal. They don´t face in-family adversity, everything is green and the sun shines.

Futsal= futebol de salao (Portuguese), according to my students.

As you see, the world speaks more than one language, English.

The arrogance attitude of Japan showing to her neighbours was the cause of today's tensions in north east asia! It was Japan's faults that triggared hatred from neighbours that finally put her own in extreme dangers! They will never learn but blaming the others!

Bingo! What EU has done in…

Japan beating Chile shows a lot of improvement. Remember that Chile has to struggle almost every year with powerhouses Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay, sometimes winning. Not a weak team to Japan to beat. But I am most excited to watch Socceroos versus Japan next week.

A little off topic but I wonder why the reality shows like "Survivor" or "Big Brother" haven't had Japanese versions made... Any thoughts?

They require participants to have individual personality. That´s it.

The thing is that Japanese also watch a lot of western programming. Look at rentals and sales of "Sex and the City", "Ally McBeal", "24" etc... these things sell in Japan. And people watch. Cable TV sales and satellite are testimonys to the fact that there are a lot…

What makes you think the food aid being sent to NK now is being given to the weak and the children?

Nothing. But I would like to believe that those sad images of sobbing toddlers starving to death could never happen again, while in the official supermarkets they had…

A ban to NK is a inhumane thing, only the very weak will feel it: the children won´t have enough food. And the inside propaganda will blame US and Japan for the famine coming, the same way the NK government blamed US for the lack of food in the mid…
