Oh yes, this is the guy I was looking for. I wonder if he's trying to put a new act together as EX-PM?
blvtzpk, BTW, the Obama impersonator is doing fairly well actually, thanks to his wife. His new charactor is a submissive husband!

fishy- You must have been in these meetings. Me too.
But it's not so meaningless for some parents though. One meaning will be to get closer to the teacher. My kid had 3 newbie homeroom teachers in a row, of which one was fresh out of university. You can imagine how we listened carefully to what they had to say!
Another will be to get to know other parents. Unlike pre-school you don't get to see the other parents much since you don't have to walk your kids to school.
Anyway, going back to the article, if the kids were allowed to wait inside, the school definitely had the responsibility to look after them, don't you think?

Yes, it must be devastating for the parents to be there for probably their first open-house day and to find their child dead. RIP little one.
I'm going to my kid's school tomorrow, so maybe I'll snoop around to see if there are any safety issues. Open windows, glass roofs, what else did we have recently?

Stupid article. These news pops up now and then, but the truth is, the company is just using her for advertising. That's what the Japanese companies do. Setting up a women's team for products targeting other women is nothing new. It's a women's team! Naturally the manager is a woman.
In glacial Japan(borrowed from herefornow), hard-headed management still think women are not fit to do a man's job.

I will never buy an EV-car unless the batteries are with 10-year guarantee.
By looking at how the lithium battery for my electric assist bicycle fails in about a year to a year and a half, I wouldn't trust any battery bigger than that.
Can anyone state or prove otherwise?

So, would that be x 89 law suits? or I wonder if Toyota got them in one package as they requested...

Yeah. Just imagine... but then I guess it wouldn't catch on too quickly because of the lack of books in Japanese.

Cool! Real talent should get noticed. Not like the others in Japan who can't sing live! Obviously, the recording engineers are the real talents in Japan.
WOW, are they really? I wonder if they can still sing the high notes after all this time.
Susan Boyle... she must be enjoying this.

In an old saying(?) in Japan, if you have a fool dancing and another fool watching, if they are the same fools, why not dance and have fun? The last part is not the exact translation, but I'm sure you'll understand the meaning!

Nakama looks sort of fat in that dress doesn't she? And Yuuko! She should cut her heels a bit so she can stand properly.
