About scenes, don't forget the standing in the middle of the night with a dock or bridge as a backdrop and declaring her love (or not) for xxx. Some kind of rooftop scene is also a must.

Do they honestly think an Asian city will get it in 2016? It boggles the mind actually, and is a simple waste of tax revenue. A US city will hosts it as it's that time again.

if you are stupid enough to squander 21 million on flying into space for a jolly, then you deserve to lose your money.

YangYong, this is Japan so you you really mean to say Ah... Ramen. :-) Think of those steaming, close up shots against a black background. It's a staple here, nearly as much as rice.

Yes, Kanto winters provide an abundance of rays. The best season if you like blue skies.

As stated, they are not really cooking shows just variety shows with food being the central theme. I too get peeved at the close up shots of steaming ramen. Who cares? It's really indicative of the lack of creativity in the Japanese TV industry. If in doubt just use food to pacify the masses. Oishiiiiiii

It's to get publicity. If talentless 'tarento xxxx' turns up to give flowers, its get reported on in the weekly gossip mags. Job done.

I don't think they mean in terms of race as a non 'Japanese' PM has zero chance of happening but in terms of a young and inspirational leader.

The management companies will do anything for money and farm out the talents to any 'worthy cause'. Maybe the toilet bowl industry should have an award for best bogest!

Japanese just don't want to think about terrible things, which is why public safety campaigns rarely feature ads at prime time, i.e 7pm or so. Graphic images of the results of drink driving? No, the nation is far too sensitive, must use mosaic to block the merest hint of red stuff.

It is due to the 'won't happen to me' culture. Sadly the father is to blame, at least in part.

The father should be punished under the law, but I suppose the loss of his son is punishment enough.

Seatbelt free kids are the norm here. Part of the 'It will never happen to me' mindset.
