    I believe this is the same "black widow" lady who very brazenly blogged about it, did she not? It's rather unbelievable. It just seems so predatory to exploit the weaknesses of others, particularly those borne simply out of a sense of loneliness and isolation. What a sad end for the…

    You know, Fadamor, you're right to an extent. I shouldn't judge yet, but I still feel more than few places will be overlooked if they don't have the same shine as the glitzy, no substance spots. Kirakira25, thanks for sharing that. I also have had the chance to befriend a…

    Are there any clean politicians in Japan? The corruption here is palpable.

    Once again, a question that could be fairly asked of many governments, beyond just Japan's (and arguably just as evident in Western, developed nations).

    Honestly I'd think things would be easier for Hatoyama if he didn't have the…

    Yes I agree Tahoochi, the translations are different, some parts get excised or "edited", re-pieced together, etc. Regardless, this murderer and this crime continue to exhibit the very desperate need for adequate counselling / proper resources available to those who need it (that applies to both the poor victim and…

    Has anyone been to these places? Honestly, alot of them seem pretentious beyond belief, and cater to a like minded crowd. I see the same rich, empty vessels patronizing art galleries; disturbing to actually listen to and see in action.

    You can find truly great food in all sorts of…

    I am strongly supporting fair (means truth should come out, and crimes should be punished) trials in rape cases, and the Jury system is really self-defeating. It is just a circus for the plebs. Collecting a bunch of morons who think like if the were in JDrama makes nothing good.

    I always was fascinated by the discovery of the coelacanth, from reading too many adventure stories as a child most likely! Thanks for updating it with a picture, mods. If you think this bugger is ugly, you ought to do a check for deep sea creatures on Google. It's pretty…

    The sort of black heart it would take to harm a child, the pure evil intent, is beyond comprehension. There is no justice that will bring that innocent girl back, and there is no punishment exacting enough to mete out the justice needed. Utterly sickening.

    No need to repeat the obvious flaws in intelligence or moral values, convoluted thinking, detached sense of events, etc. etc. But for those of you complaining that it is irresponsible of JT -- why do you think they post these sorts of sensationalized stories? 70+ comments. It generates hits for…

    Some very good informative posts in here, thank you guys. Once again, you've all made some good suggestions but they will require fundamental shifts. The recent election seems to bear some positive signs, but once again it is ultimately up to the Japanese themselves to work for this change. Not…
