IMHO, you can't eradicate bullying.

Yeah you can control/ban it at schools it just moves to non-school areas, playgrounds, etc. Who looks after the kids to prevent bullying once the pass the school-gates, etc.

I checked the TOEI site and the film was recently broadcast on the TOEI channel, might try to catch it when it comes around again next week.

Sounds interesting, I like films that were done in a co-effort between Japan and other countries.

Articles like this make me wonder if the USA really has separation between church and state.

I agree with the above post.

Most J-Docs today have swung too far towards western/modern medicine. Which is a pity as asian/traditional medicine has a lot to offer, neither is better but a healthy mix is ideal.
