RIP. Thriller was my first cassette and the reason why I started to learn English by myself when I was just 7. Oddly enough, I turned on the Japanese TV and he is not to be seen anywhere. I guess the drinking of a local forgettable idol is a good reason to stop all scheduled programs but not the death of a 20th century universal icon. Do I live in a planet called Japan and I did not know? Where is the rest of the world?

Some times I prefer just not to read the Japanese news because they make me really angry. What do these people have in their heads? Brains or maybe high vacuum?

It's the first time I hear someone say she can not find a job because of menstrual cramps. Come on, many women have painful menstruations but there is medication for it. I recommend her to try Ibuprofen and stop prostituting herself.

You are right, I apologize. It does not matter if it looks like yakuza business, the man must have had a family and we shouldn't joke about their loss. Sorry.

tkoind2: I think there was a "tori influenza" a few years ago in Hong Kong, and somehow they controlled it... please correct me if I am wrong.
I don't understand that they don't suspend all flights coming and going to Mexico. Two friends of mine are flying today to Mexico from Narita. I think I would have cancelled the holiday... It looks already dangerous enough to avoid the place! It's a matter of life or death, I guess they don't cancel the flights to protect the economy... money first.

Improvising gives sometimes weird results... Look at the legs... They should have worked a little bit longer on the design. Was the need to replace Kusanagi really that urgent? The change to digital is schedules for 2 years later, ne? At least the deer will not give any behavioural problems...

Deguchisan, I was being ironic. I think he is for sure been murdered. How could anyone cut off his own head? That is technically imposible and of course cutting his own limbs would have been also impossible because he would have bleed to death after the first one... argh... An accident.. cutting off 4 limbs and the head "with a knife"? 5 deadly accidents in a row... Or maybe he died somehow and then somebody cut him in pieces afterwards? For what? Anyway, someone who does it can be considered a murderer...
So in fact I agree with you, but not just "probably"... For sure! :)

And all this only for getting drunk? And OK, naked, but it was 3 am on a weekday, it's not like he went naked to Shibuya crossing at 3:00 pm on a saturday!

Yes, Utada Hikaru is a remarkable exception to what I wrote above.

Because Japanese pop sounds like the opening themes of anime... Like songs for children. Inluding the voices. Well, not always, but most of the times.

Why don't they mention Giampaolo Giuliani in this news? This scientist predicted a few days ago, in a TV interview, that there was going to be a big earthquake in the region and nobody believed him. He should be making news as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WieaAPrQEN4

Both were stupid, but anyway, is it logical that a job like taxi driving allows anybody to get 360000 yen in 2-3 days?

And what about the parents? Does the police know who they are?

I've recently read that there is an increasing criminality in the British youth, and specially in girls (!)
Having a child at 13 is not a crime, but is a big sign of dissorientation.
This makes me feel sad, I spent 5 days in London last year and I really loved it. I thought it would be a nice place to live. I walked around the pubs south of Soho square and I did not feel a great danger as it was really crowded (in Soho square, however, I noticed the posts warning of thieves).
My hotel was in Southwark, which I had read is very dangerous, but it looked safe to me. And nothing happened.
Now I think I have just been lucky.

How does the car look inside? Maybe small diamond stickers all over the dashboard? Because that is the brilliant idea that the mobile phone marketing departments had when targeting their merchandise to young Japanese women T_T

I think that not only for English, but also for any language, it is wrong to write the pronounciation of the words in katakana. My husband is learning Spanish and I read the katakana spelling of the Spanish sentences only to laugh.
Or to cry...
The pronounciation should be taught as in a good dictionary, with universal symbols that everybody can learn with help of a native teacher or a good CD.
This is my view about the bad pronounciation.

I can't believe a jewelry shop leaves its cash overnight at the store. Good lesson.

I have the feeling that a woman is NODOBY in Japan without a man. My mother in low told me they have a saying: when a woman is born, she follows her father. When she marries, she follows her husband. And when she is old, she follows her son. Another "unique" aspect of the beautiful Japanese culture. As long as they accept this and don't want to change it, Japanese woman will be always wearing pink and putting diamond stickers in their mobile phone and absolutely ridiculous fake nails. I still have a hope that my husband will be sent abroad in a few years with his company, because I do not fit in here.
