Even if Softbank would unlock your iPhone at the end of your 2-year contract--and they won't, I have asked--what other Japan provider would you use? Nobody provides the unlimited data plan and calling as cheaply as Softbank:

--4400 yen per month for unlimited data --maybe 800 yen for the White…

All that money on SFX and still the blue guys have that goofy dumb Pixar-type animated face thing going on. Hard for me to watch the trailer. Felt like a modern episode of Land of the Lost. 3D? VR? The is the road to forgettable gimmickry. Like an amusement park…

Where's the evidence of "beautiful" or "talented"? All I ever saw were shots of her with straggly hair and those giant sunglasses celebs to hide behind. As for talent, how do we know? Did she do anything good?

misono has been around for a while and she chose not to use her name originally as she didnt want to get labeled as just "Koda Kumi's sister"

This was the marketing strategy for sure.

It always bothers me when brothers, sisters and other relatives of entertainers get these jobs. The bare lie shines through--it's not whether you have talent or work hard, it's simply who you know. You think that would put people off, but a lot of them just can't get out their…

Still smells like people's background feeling is that the price level from which things have fallen is the correct one and should be preserved. Is that really right? Inflated asset prices from a credit bubble are going to get a macro correction from the market. That's inevitable. At the micro…

I clicked on this article because I thought it was about the life of a salaryman. The life at the monastery sounds similar to company life - eat, sit, sleep...hours seated in agony, lack of sleep, meager diet, threats and bullying from superiors. In a company, you reach enlightenment quicker…

Admittedly all I know is from a few JT articles over the months. But even in the group of expensive, brainless human celeb dolls who offer nothing in return except an empty marketability, this has got to be one of the most spoiled and expensive versions ever. The sense of…

Of course it's terrible and the system is broken if this can happen. The poor victim should have been admitted immediately. But is this particular, tragic case the right example to lead the charge? Emergency brain hemorrhage surgery during C-section childbirth sounds pretty heavy. And what was the actual cause…
