I wonder the translation "reclining Buddha" is correct or not. The image is known as Buddha death which falls on Feb. 15 and memorial services are held at many places.

If Okinawans don't like Japan and they treat our prime minister disrespectfully, it's OK they will part from Japan.

We don't want to spend any more money for crying baby Okinawa. We (Japan) are broke and bankrupt.

I don't think it will happen. I used to be a long LDP supporter but the LDP today is not the LDP in the past. Many good politicians of the party are either retired or left from the party during the course of their decline and many LDP politicians today are the sons or grandsons of the former LDP politicians. It is too early to return the old regime.

As the nation is going fallen, people's morals as well.

TEPCO and the government want to reopen the existing atomic power plants which are halted for regular examinations but can not reopen due to the opposition moves. TEPCO cannot continue to buy oils, natural gases and coals to cover power shortages since they are more expensive than using the existing atomic power plants. Japanese people must understand the situation and agree to reopen the plants.

Japanese yellow journalism is helping futile political confusions by fueling people's discontent and wishful thinkings. Kan is not bad. Unfortunately, no Japanese politician has personal charms and charisma as President Reagan had. After it's all matter of personality, isn't it.

Some say in reality it is about 10% and I agree.

We are likely to forget that we lost the war. We should think that we were lucky that Russia took only (god forsaken) tiny islands in the north and not the whole Hokkaido or the northern half of the mainland Japan. Happiest of all is that it was not Russia but America that occupied Japan.

BihakuRanger is right. My friend at a construction company told me before that if they don't pay money to these yakuza wearing a mask of uyoku, they disturb businesses such as the road is blocked by their cars and the construction company trucks cannot enter the construction site.

Nakaima's victory tells what Okinawans really think. They know they cannot get rid of U.S. Forces and need Japanese money to be floating.

What is the point getting women's underwears? Do you have similar people in foreign lands? There used to be shops before in Tokyo where they sold underwears of school girls which were not washed.

It appears foreigners do not understand the meaning of mikoshis very well. Gods inside the shrines make visits to the parishes on the portable shrines once or twice a year giving blessings and power to the parishioners. I remember similar scenes in catholic nations in europe where people carry images of Maria or Christ and parade streets.

China will bully neighbors when U.S. Forces withdraw from Japan. They don't like Japan and the country totalitarian.

Before sushi became popular in America, a Japanese sushi bar owner visited the fish market in New York and found the best part of tuna for sushi "toro" (the fat of tuna) was thrown out there. He, of course, jumped at it and his business a big success.

Sorry Americans! I apologize for our stupid leader Hatoyama, the incompent government and irresponsible voters. But, it is the LDP most to blame which could not prevent the land slide victory for DPJ. Toward the end of their ruling, LDP was in a mess changing leaders every year who were as dumb as Hatoyama.

Hatoyama and his government is just terrible. Having said so, Japanese people have cold feet to return to LDP. In the long run, it will be a good thing the government changes occasionally. America has to be patient.
The colonel is a good soldier and no more than that. Futenma must be closed. Noises are unbearable and scary and insulting to the people of Okinawa to let live under such awful conditions.
If I add one thing to it, all the bases in mainland Japan and Okinawa were far from the residential areas when they were built. People came to live closer to the bases afterwards.
Will U.S. bases move out of Okinawa and Japan? No. They can use the land free and Japanese employees free as well. It is a lot cheaper than they keep them in the states.
