Oops, my bad. Yeah, illsayit, you're right. Japan is already culturally diversified, having over a million of foreigners. Well, my concern is how much they will accept immigrants in the future, and how does that create the Japanese public perception toward 'incoming' citizens. In the U.S., I often watch the…

Ah, who's Bekcy? She's not a JP version of Ugly Betty, right? I know she's entertaining a bunch of kids by behaving like an affable, charming, Cinderella-like fly girl. But, she's no Amy Adams in “Enchanted” or Anne Hathaway in "Ella Enchanted".
