dbung10, either you're kidding or not up to date.
Last year saw quite a few drug-related arrests of celebrities or public figures. And what most had in common were that they blamed it on "a foreigner in Roppongi".

Great picture. And a good illustration of not just JALs employees feeling but that of every other lady working at jobs that partly exists to curb the unemployment number (think elevator ladies, tea-servants at offices...).

This advertised heart-arrest might come true after all, given the otaku-diet and the physic it builds.

Himajin, I see you're almost no stranger to sarcasm. Let's try again.
10 years ago who'd thought of that? Besides the ones that produced the water-boilers that turned themselves off once boiling.
Why bother indeed. Why fill up a water-boiler with as much water as you like, when now, the boiler is smaller, so it doesn't fill it up to the rim for you?

It beeps? That's pretty amazing. Just 10 years ago water-boilers turned themselves off once boiling, but DURING their beeping. But thanks to this new technology you're require to get up and manually turn it off, making it an multi-use exercise device.

I'd prefer some imported sexy French on their clubs.

Theory here: why do you think the shields say Police in English and Kouban/stations says it in Japanese?
Seen the border-patrol posters? Heard the media-, and police, during world cup? How about mayor Ishihara's taken on what thee barbaric non-Japanese would do in case of an earthquake?

Gave up TV here 6 years ago. Considering getting one for rented/downloaded movies, though. A 24" computer screen is relatively small watched from the sofa.

Keep the price the way it is but offer a complimentary sallad/misosoup/whatever, for the time being, to attract customers from the competition.
When time comes, and the economy picks up, Yoshinoya could simply stop that "campaign" and thus wouldn't have to resort to raise their prices (back up).
The perceived quality by the higher price is there, the offer to customers there, and no risk in changing prices up and down (and the backlash that would follow with it).

This is how Japan plans to bring teen-boys back into agriculture? I know boys here aren't the brightest, but I'm sure they'll figure out that this publicity stunt is just that; a publicity stunt.
Put more money in Agriculture, show that living outside the big cities is more comfortable than the shoebox alternative, and don't try to fool people with these tales of gyals that have left Shibuya for muddier pastures.
Speaking of action of the ministry of agriculture...Hey MAFF, please don't insult us silly westerners in your infomercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0BiBQWexs

What a great way to conserve the environment; 600 painted lanterns lit up for days.

Will they greet bonenkai'ers at the stations in the same manners, and with the same placards, as they did with the Halloween train? All the ill-fitting suits here do count as cosplay in my book.

Same as last year. Asked myself the same thing then: what does water (not snow) and the color blue have to do with Christmas? Sure, pretty, but I think the idea of Christmas is a bit lost here.

Boys will be boys forever here. What better way to celebrate Japans sinking birthrate than by putting a pic of a submarine on their junk?

But...but...Americans could never understand the uniqueness of Japan and its flying customs and culture. How to, say, make a traditional dialing motion of knobs that brings up the cabin temperature to 27c. 27,2 is too high. And Celsius, that's just too complicated for non Japanese to understand.
I'd say this deal is doomed.

Misleading caption. There's wine spill in it from the glasses, and the 1 or 2 bottle poured for show. The rest is the same color they've got on there for the rest of the year. It's a themed onsen/sentou with other novelty baths too.
