I'm sure if it was up to him he would stay in Japan. He's one of the most liked actors, and he deserves it. Recently he finished "The Rum Diary" in Puerto Rico and he was incredible with the fans.

It's time to move on, and for these towns to find a new source of livelihood.

why would the police put the underwear on display? perhaps there were tons of perverts willing to pay admission fee to watch the spectacle and inspect the goods.

Betting and others; thanks for pointing that out. Yes, if they are together with Federal agents, then virtually anything can happen...
These guys at the "hump" should be going down pretty hard. The key is to follow the paper trail all the way to the Institute for Cetacean Research in Japan or whoever sold them the whale meat.

I'm 100% in favor of these guys, but how could they record someone without permission? In the US it's a federal crime to record audio or maybe even video without consent. Just ask Linda Tripp, who was convicted of recording her conversations with Lewinsky. Any evidence collected during the "crime" would be inadmissible, unless some federal/state authority conduct their own search.

Just saw Hurt Locker, what a piece of crap. I can't believe it could win best picture, or screen play, or have the guy nominated for best Actor.
The plot was nonesxistent, just rambling around from scene to scene. Heck even the made for HBO war movies were much better productions. This is film school grade.

to look non-japanese is in these days. Haafu babies are also going to be in fashion for the next 9 months.

i have tried the donuts in Japan and they taste very similar.
Lines are way shorter in Shibuya as the novelty has worn off.
This business seems to go well with Japanese "Just in time" efficiency, but recently their donuts are getting cold and stale.

not bad for a Japanese version of snuggies. They need to come up with a catchy name and maybe Chad Ochochinco will also be the spokesperson.

yeah these otaku will bring he country down. Instead of producing anything of value, they waste their time on pointless hobbies and fetishes.
In the US people waste time on facebook, twitter and other time sinks as well, but at least it's not as weird.

There are other historical accounts that have been embellished or even fictionalized in order to sell books. As long as the author is up front with regards to what is fact or fiction, then things should be okay.
A phrase of "names may have been changed to protect the innocent" is not an excuse to invent people who didn't exist.

She's trying to clean up her image, but anyway she will most likely retire since married women in Japan are not supposed to have any sort of career.

Definitely Ligron and Trump are milking these women for every last cent. Anyone know how much this "training" costs every week? Must be in the thousands of dollars a head.
These girls shouldn't quit their main jobs in the Kyabakura.

it's funny that he has to rub one out to relieve stress before the session. I wonder what percentage of the recalled cars were made in the US. Lawmakers may be shooting themselves in the foot, and the ones who are harboring Toyota factories with tens of thousands of jobs on the line are remaining quiet.
Toyota should just close all US factories and play hardball if they keep getting heat for this. Could be the start of another trade war, but with the strong yen the US has the upper hand.

curious that some big names could get in. I wonder who they paid off.
