The tarentos can bugger right off. They just want to stand in the shadow of success (or not) though they have NOTHING to do with it. Please disappear to another programme and utter the only three words you know, oishii, kawaii and sugoi.

I was surprised by NHK's footage. I assumed they would spend the entirety zooming on on the Japanese athletes forming up in the centre of the stadium but rarely did so we go to see the rest of the world's heroes too. (for once)

Tokyo Taxi drivers are the bane of the city. They stop when ever and where ever they feel like . Never use their eyes and just stare ahead most of the time. Ignore rules and light sometimes.

MrMukatsuku is right though. Everything on TV is being promoted, even the news has sponsors ffs. Waratte iitomo is the worst. Shameless hour long CM.

Pure tripe and and it will never change, due to lack of pressure to do so as standards are so low for all broadcasters. Sadly they, the locals, live in ignorance of the fact that Japanese TV is an utter embarrassment. This country has many great points but TV is not one of them.

US cars are mostly s$$t and not suited to the domestic market here. Why do they need them? Who want to buy them? German cars are perceived as 'foreign', thus desirable. US cars are a joke.

They believe that as the most number of winning tickets come from that particular Yurakucho booth, its somehow lucky. If they ask themselves why and look at the logic, its easy to see just why it is 'lucky'. Fools, as they sweat in the heat yet could walk across the road and get a ticket in an instant.

The thing is when they test fire missiles it's considered provocative yet when the US or Israel plays toy soldiers near their borders or in the region that's normal and the Iranians shouldn't worry in the slightest. Skewed logic but might is right for those who hold power.

Cyclist follow their own rules, though the highway code requires them to follow the rule of law. Not driving on the left is dangerous. Driving the wrong way down one way streets is dangerous. Jumping between road and pavement without checking is dangerous.

I had a pen knife in my bag today (always carry one) and I went to Akiba. I would have ended up in a cell I reckon, if searched. Gulp.
