I just don't get it. Why the JP government and mainstream media excessively report this issue as if their country is in a crisis? I know Japan is facing an age of elderly crisis syndrome, but it still has a large population of +150 million people. Japan is the second…

I just heard this news from local radio program in San Jose last night. Yeah, it's really an embarrassing moment for the soldier's families.

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".

Perhaps, we should add this autocratic, heartless, merciless, anti-humanistic military junta in an 'axis of evil' list.

First, the location inferred me that the memorial was for those 'Nisei' Japanese-American who fought for their pride by joining the army(the 244th battalion?, I guess) to fight for their country( the U.S.) despite their own situation (racism and life in concentration camp during WWII).

Turns out this is a…

I'm so sick and tired of defendant attorneys' despicable tactics to delay the trial intentionally for 9 years. Their behavior is the one to undermine an already corrupted JP judicial system. Why don’t the Supreme Court bar all of those ill-minded a-holes from practicing the laws for good?

I'm not sure if the governor really meant Chinese president's offer of animal gift-giving as an appeasement of Japanese anger over the contaminated foods. Yet, he's right. Gift-giving is a means of maintaining/showing diplomatic courtship between the two countries, while the food poising issue is couched on politics as well…

Correction 2:

The first JP prime minister after WWII was a suspected war criminal(Nobusuke Kishi)who successfully escaped the trial.

Kishi actually did serve a sentence for three years after WWII. So, he is among those right-wingers who got benefited from the policies of the AP allies during the U.S. occupation.

Correction: The first JP prime minister after WWII is Naruhiko Higashikuni, not Nobusuke Kishi. Kishi served as a prime minister from February 25, 1957 to June 12, 1958 and from then to July 19, 1960.(Check with Wekipedia).

Interestingly, Mao did not show an avenging hostility toward Japan like Chiang Kai-shek’s…
