I'd say first work on the society to reduce social pressures, change the attitude to suicide, stop paying insurance to suicide families, help the desperate, support the broke, crack down on bullying in schools and then hang some nice blue lights for decoration, which by the way will make more…

iPhone has been on sale in Japan only since last year, Softbank has been number one in new subscriptions for most of the past two years gaining over 4 million new contracts in two years compared to about 2 million for AU and Docomo. The numbers speak for themselves.

I liked to burn cardboard boxes in my teenage years but this boy is a different kind of creature. I'd say he'll be telling his stories at the psychiatric ward where nobody listens anyway.

Lots of Japanese streets don't have a sidewalk and people here often prefer walking on the street anyway. Just the other day I had a misfortune of riding by an elementary school right after the classes finished. A group of first graders was standing smack in the middle of the…
