Doubt it. I know a lot of Japanese people that don't like Azuki. They won't be buying it either.

Mwahahaha. So true. If only they knew we are already wise to their game.

Hmm. Not any woman. Sure there are plenty of nerdy foreigners with Japanese girlfriends... ranging from 0 to... perhaps 6 on my hotness scale.
But there's a loooot of nice and attractive Japanese women who won't go there.

Yes, your marriage contract is enforceable in Japan. No, you cannot legally marry another Japanese woman.
Why do people keep assuming that marriage is only binding in a single country?
Can you marry a woman in the U.S., go across to Canada and marry another? No.

Two of my favourite actresses (although one is a model ;) ). I hope I can get home in time to watch it!

My mum has been making this kind of stuff for 40 years. 100 hour boiled broccoli, 100 hour boiled cabbage, 100 hour roast beef. I think everything she puts in the oven stays there that long.

Seesh. Come on, dude, think about it. A divorce in one country is legal in all countries. Same goes for marriages...
Do you really think this whole thing would be happening if they were not legally divorced in Japan? NO!!

Ok, fourth time I've written this today. But I'm gonna write it again because it's really important that people understand this.
You only need to divorce ONCE in ONE country for it to apply in ALL COUNTRIES.
Badge123:
You're exactly right. Makes sense, doesn't it? Imagine if marriages were only recognised in the country they took place in.... The same applies for divorces.
No we're not =) It's all black and white.

Hey someone should organize a rally in Tokyo. I wonder if it would get media attention here?

Writing this for the third time today - a divorce in another country dissolves a marriage in Japan. It's the same in all countries that I've looked up. Get divorced in the U.S., and you are no longer married in Japan.

Sorry wrong. See my comment above. Note the story states ex-husband, but that's not the only reason I'm saying this. A divorce overseas dissolves a marriage in Japan - if that's what your argument is based on?

I don't think that's correct. A legal divorce overseas is valid in Japan. If you are legally married in Japan, and then divorced overseas, your marriage in Japan is dissolved.

Well I'm definitely not racist. The person who wrote that probably isn't either. But I guess you haven't been crossed by many Japanese girls in your life. They're particularly cold and selfish when they want to be. And it's very rarely deserved, IMO. So don't be fooled by those pleasant looks and that mediocre personality - there's a lot more underneath...

Well Yon-sama, your jacket doesn't fit on your shoulders properly. And your panty-wantys are too long. And who wears a shirt with the top button done up and no tie?

I'm starting to get the impression that any female in this country that scores higher than a 6 out of 10 on my hotness scale generally behaves like an obnoxious brat.

I guess someone who gets a tattoo will never consider it mutilation at the time. But if someone else doesn't like it, and considers it degrading the appearance of someone else, it's perfectly accurate for it to be called degradation in that person's opinion.
But I guess what you're saying is that if someone likes it, leave them alone. Fair enough, but other people's opinions are kind of irrelevant to how we each decide to view tattoos.

Man. I really don't get why everyone is saying she's beautiful. That's one awkward looking girl if you ask me. Kind of munchkin-like face. And a rather shapeless figure, and then adding all those tattoos. Sheesh. Before anyone flames me for being rude or insensitive... She's willingly putting herself on display :D
