Notice that the first three incidents described occurred when the owners were elsewhere and not in a position to challenge or defend their items. The college student taking from the kids-boot him hard!

I imagine that the clothing thefts affected the kids and may have caused problems in homes where…

Police are missing two charges: 1) theft of colleague's personal property at academy 2) theft of office key What is the female who's stuff was taken going to think? She'd be better off having her own gang to rough up the perpetrator? Add abuse of position to boot. The trainees…

Could not understand the choice of such an old song to promote the next summer Games-UK has a happening dance/techno music scene, so why wasn't it represented? The bus scenario to introduce the London Games worked splendidly, along with the soccer connection (hey, we watched Euro Cup). The aircraft staircase…

Mr. Kimura did well in his recent TV role as a prime minister. Would like to see him perform live over on this continent.

I have never know Celine Dion to express an interest in Japanese anime. I am also a Canadian who only likes one of Ms Dion's songs that was a remix. Gabriela Robin ought to have a go or Origa or a new talent.

Shock to read this item. The actor was marvellous in the film, which I understand was filmed over a year to allow actors to show them older and longer-haired. Still a serious health scare.

TeruSensei-look at her upper left arm-it looks like the tattoo was brushed out for the photo. Wish that Ms. Amuro would visit North America for a concert tour! She has fans over here too.

A blogger that is a BYJ fan said 5000 fans were in the airport, with another 1000 outside of the airport.
I'd like to know what female celebrity visiting Japan can draw that many males out to greet her at the airport?

1) Some movie-watchers want to hear English voices in international films. If I show anime to my friends, the preference is for dubbed anime, not subtitled anime (but the original cast may have better character voices than the English cast). 2) Many subtitled movies vary in the quality of their…
