> DaijobootsDEC. 05, 2011 - 09:19AM JST Does anyone know if they were speeding?
As mentioned in my previous post, the lead car was driven by a 60 year old man on wet roads, at (estimated by an eye witness) around 150 km/hr.

Sorry, Diaijoboots! I thought you were just making that up! I suspected they were speeding. I hate seeing these kind of morons when I'm driving on the expressways. Absolutely dangerous and selfish. Rich spoiled show-offs.

Does anyone know if they were speeding? They didn't seem to mention that important aspect on the TV news.

Talk about Kawasaki limiting his choices to one very mediocre team. He needs to reassess his motivation for going to MLB - play in the Major Leagues or follow Ichiro around.

Why don't stores just get a head start on the competition and begin these sales earlier in November? That way shoppers wouldn't be all bunched up at the doors like this on the same day nationwide.

I'm with MaboDofuIsSpicy on this one. It was analyzed. They threw out dirt that had the same level of radiation as the dirt around them. Why should anyone get in trouble for any of this?

They shouldn't have matches in North Korea until they stop resorting to these childish tactics.
Only 150 tickets for J-fans, no flags, no horns, no singing to avoid "conflict with AUTHORITIES", a 4 hour airport delay, no laughing, gum/banana/noodle confiscation, etc.
What a bunch of kooks.

I agree with globalwatcher. He/She/It is correct that Japan really needs to be careful about opening up to cut-throat capitalism and privatization. The US has everything to gain here with its huge relative advantages. There are a lot of positives to government control, protection, and security of a nation's food and money supply.

I think everyone here is focusing a little too much on rice. The labor costs in other countries are so low that they can sell a whole variety of different vegetables, fruit, meats etc. at much lower prices here.
A southeast Asian/Latin American producer that only has to pay wages that are less than a dollar an hour to its farmers will definitely beat the Japanese farmers who have to earn enough to pay the extremely high living costs that we have here in Japan. They will not be able to survive and will go out of business.
You think the countryside is emptying out now. Wait till these farmers' can't sell their produce at market and you'll really see the countryside die. Along with the food self-sufficiency rate.

I like it. Sounds desperate, but really, would the locals or anybody else be against it if the prefecture was named "Udon"?
By the way, CrazyJoe, Sanuki used to be the name of the area before it became Kagawa that's why they named their soccer team that.

I think Shikoku would be a good place. They could use the economic boost, there's plenty of space, few people, and an island that's hell of a lot bigger than Okinawa to be able to absorb the large number of servicemen. Also, there are medium sized cities in each prefecture that would make good R&R for the soldiers and their families.

Gee I wonder why parents and their kids aren't enthused about joining a sumo club rather than soccer or other sports. A good way to kill an already dying sport.

Shouldn't the title of this article be 19-year-old "boy" rather than "man" since he is considered a minor here in Japan? (Even though I don't agree that 19 year olds should be classified as minors.)
