Is "Roke" pronounced like a word that rhymes with "broke"? Or like a Japanese person pronouncing "Rocky"?

"The White Shadow." Maybe that refers to women's heavy eye shadow?

I just want to hear his boss say to him, "Book him, Edano."

Why didn't Noda pick him the first time around? He was the obvious choice for some sort of Cabinet position.

After the Curry Museum and the Ramen Museum, now they are just focusing on a single brand of cup ramen? Good survival rations.

Of course a panic exodus from Edo would not have been a better choice. But let's be honest. They intentionally hid the truth to prevent a panic. Which goes to prove that honesty is not always the best policy.

In retrospect, Kan probably prevented a mass exodus from Tokyo by avoiding use of the word "meltdown" to the public. As we all remember, Press Secretary Edano kept on using the phrase, "That is the worst-case scenario and it's very unlikely to happen..." Well, as we all know, a meltdown did occur. More than one. And they ALL knew it was likely to happen. It's like telling a heavy smoker that he might not get lung cancer. The real fools were the public for trusting the government. The "If we can't trust them, who can we trust?" mentality. Sheep.

What about the people in the mid Tohoko areas? Aren't those areas already "uninhabitable"? The comment comes across as a bit Tokyo-centric in his worldview. In other words, the people in the boonies are expendable. City dwellers are not.

He's coming off as a shrewd negotiator by picking people nobody's every heard of before. It's good to bring in fresh blood. This "loach" might surprise us yet.

They have fairly high quality tea at low prices. Kind of bad news for the British expats in Tokyo, though.
