    If the Japanese or Tokyoites can't be bothered to vote him out, then they deserve him.

    I predict Japan and China will play for the gold medal in the Olympics, with Gamova and the Russians playing someone else for the bronze.

    I haven't seen most of the matches, but judging from the scores, I don't think Japan will be anywhere near the podium. They literally scraped through at the last moment, with Thailand trailing an inch behind them (a team which if I remember correctly beat Serbia convincingly). Korea did a lot better and the Russians were untouchable. Plus, the four top teams here couldn't or didn't qualify in previous tournaments.

    And don't forget, Japan will not, unlike practically all the tournaments they compete in, have home advantage. There'll actually be people cheering and clapping for teams beside Japan. I'll eat my hat if Japan gets anywhere near gold.

    Tokyo will win on sympathy.

    And the Tokyo tax-payers will get my sympathy if they get the Olympics.

    Who cares what these two countries do. Japan can spend all they like (and throw money down the drains) and China can find business opportunities and spend tourist money elsewhere. Win-win for both.

    This country will be more bankrupt than Spain after the Olympics have finished them off.

    China must be laughing - one way to bankrupt this nation! Reminds me of the way some unscrupulous people who make fake bids on ebay to jack up the prices, luring people to make bids which they never would have done in the first place.

    Current Chinese population growth rate is still 17.1%, Nigeria 62.4% Pakistan 55.3% India 40.2% while Japan is 4.7%.

    Those are stats for the period 1990-2010. The stats for NOW are a lot lower in the case of China. Hell, Japan's growth is now negative!

    Alphaape:

    So no parent in China want girls? I'm guessing there won't be any Chinese female babies born soon. You really ought to stop judging a whole race of people just because of the actions of some.

    wonder if Japan did this to all of those Chinese "massagie" and other Chinese women who are working here on expired visas here in Japan would there be protests.

    No, I say good riddance. Illegals and overstayers shouldn't stay. And no, why should there be protests? But you should consider who are the customers are and who the pimps are. They wouldn't be here if there wasn't any demand.

    NN:

    They are not right-wing nuts, they are Japanese citizens with strong conservative views about their country. Unfortunately, they are not ango like most of the posters on here who attack and belittle them. You live here and belittle men who stand up for their country. They are not nuts. They are far more intelligent than you think. No one is laughing.

    If they really cared about their nation, they would be criticizing the people who put this country in the mess it's on - the greedy politicians who wasted money and the Japanese society which refuses to open up and change it's ways (and learn from the successes of China and Korea). But no, they're picking on those who can't fight back - bullying foreign children too. Absolutely despicable. No, these are racists too. You'll see these losers in many countries. They cannot release their frustrations unless directed at foreigners.

    The people watching the videos on their screens react with empathy, and this in turn encourages the organizers to engage in increasingly extreme behavior.

    One video I watched had Korean tourists minding their own business, doing shopping, spending money and were just leaving, only for the racists to hurl abuse at them. Sure, empathy!! You know, foreign tourists can go else where to send their money. And the mainland Chinese are REALLY rich.

    I read that this guy had a Burakumin background. Not that I have anything against people from that background, but this guy certainly seems to be hiding a lot of things. A new Ishihara in the making. Good luck, Japan.

    Wow, I don't know where to begin.

    First, the video of the Russian guy putting his feet on the headrest of the seat where a woman was sitting:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HBi4_xhrt0

    That was absolutely horrible and if that happened in Japan, I wouldn't be surprised if people got mad. The Russian guy even knows how to speak some Chinese.

    The problem with these incidents is that people start grouping all foreigners like those nasty individuals, and this happens in all countries, including Japan. And I don't, for one minute, think racist attacks only happen in China. Look at Russia, and even Australia (the Indians and Chinese seem to be targeted a lot in Ozzie). Actually foreigners (the white kind) can be treated quite well (a lot better than overseas Chinese I can tell you), as long as you behave. Yes, just like Japan and Korea, there's a hierarchy and the whites are right at the top.

    I'm not going to pretend that many mainland Chinese (notice I use mainland - some posters seem to include every single damn person with Chinese blood) have atrocious manners and show unbelievable behavior. Just ask the people in Hong Kong - they had to deal with a lot of the sh*t lately. I've been there several times, only once since the 90's and the amount of spitting, shouting, lack of service, crazy driving can drive you nuts. But some of you should also get to know some of them. Villagers, especially, may seem rustic, but they can be some of the kindest and warmest people you'll meet. And in the cities, I was surprised to meet some nice people too (who weren't shouting their heads off).

    WillB:

    Chinese complaining about rude foreigners sounds a bit like the pot calling the kettle black to me...

    When they say rude, they mean putting your feet right next to someone's face or trying to molest an innocent woman. If it were me, I would definitely not be using the word 'rude', that's for sure.

    globalwatcher:

    Wait for another 10 years, the One Child policy will eventually backfire and will destroy social infrastructures of China.

    And what's the alternative? A doubling of the population? You do realize India is a ticking timebomb? Even my Indian friends wanted something done in India, but said all hell would break lose because of the Muslims. Sure there'll be problems, but in the long term, a smaller population will be better. I had a catholic friend who was convinced the planet had enough resources for an infinite number of people - yes, he used the word 'infinite' and he majored in mathematics.

    ossanamerica:

    They can build all the monuments they want in Korea but not in the United States.

    Well, they must have gotten permission from American authorities.

    If you want foreign monuments removed, then remove the Statue of Liberty. That's French.

    Yuri keeps saying these countries need to move on and forget the past yet Japan is the one who constantly plays down its past and refuses to fully acknowledge its past actions.

    Yeah, I'm all for moving on. So are we going to see the end of certain displays of victimhood every August?

    I'd be more inclined to go if it was actually reasonably priced, and if half of Tokyo wasn't following me up the tower. In all these years, I have never been up Tokyo Tower (I only went to the base last year - neither I nor my folks who came to visit Japan were inclined to spend the money to go up even the old tower). However, I've been up the governmental buildings in Bunkyo and Shinjuku wards - they were free!

    Next, female civil servants will have to slap on more make-up or risk being put in a burqa. This Hashimoto disease is spreading.

    Why are Seattle Mariners or Texas Rangers mentioned? It is Darvish vs Ichiro. Saying otherwise in the Japanese media is going to give the fans here the wrong idea - they might think there are other players involved.

    19 year old university student ..... a minor

    I find it so strange that university students are minors.

    they found hundreds of AKB48 photos at the assailant’s home

    I take that back.

    The gang was given its name after British detectives found a diamond ring hidden in a jar of face cream, echoing an incident in Peter Sellers’ 1963 comedy “The Pink Panther.”

    Is this correct or have I got the movies mixed up. I always thought the diamond in the jar of face cream occurred in the movie with Maria Schell (she was the one who put it in the jar), in which case it was 1975.
