Every journey begins with the first step. Who knows which US or Japanese politician will take the next step in visiting the other country's memorials? It is good that this initial exchange of visits happened and was recorded.

As a service provider, any airline is trying to budget for business. Given how oil prices yo-yoed (and gasoline too) in 2008, JAL is likely wanting to be ready should another oil price surge happen, so less money is lost in that case. Besides, there may not be other places…

JAL president could act as consultant to the US CEOs on how to gain customer loyalty by their taking lifestyle and money sacrifices for the companies' health. For a fee per consultation (in Japanese) of course.

Illumination=tree lighting. The tree itself is special only because of its planting at the ceremony of turning on the lights. But hey, Enya will be on the Red & White show? Perhaps NHK will invite more international musicians for future show to mix with the Japanese ones? 21st-century, you have…

Guess one needs the money in the Federal Reserve to enjoy this new resort. Will there be a transportation system in place for employees to get to and from the resort? No one is going to appreciate a long commute. I picked up on the mention of limestone karsts-why would…
