If the messages were in Portugese, this would actually only confirm that they are probably 100% pure Japanese citizens emigrated from Brazil. Japan likes to talk about foreigner crime, while failing to mention that they're really talking about all the Japanese who returned to Japan from abroad. People that Japan begged to come back for cheap labor, in fact.

What's creepier is the unwritten fact that some reporter found out about them walking out of the bar and followed their taxi all the way to his place taking notes.

It's a vicious cycle where it's so expensive to live or commute to Tokyo that these women are earning good salaries and consider themselves broke. Not that it helps that many of them drink and have expensive tastes to boost their self esteem after working as a hostess. Vicious cycle here.
The free market will fix everything, it always does. New, cheaper, and more sustainable businesses will arise to take this place, and existing clubs will evolve or die off. The future is always brighter in the long run.
bobbafett, please never change. =)

Sounds like these guys were criminals to begin with, having stolen this car and replaced its license plate in advance. Wouldn't be surprised if the reason they were speeding was they were trying to escape the cops (which they did). Ironic.
If we're talking the Brazilian district, we're talking mainly about Japanese born in Brazil. But I guess they could be mistaken as foreigners too.

This is what happens when you nominate and confirm liars and traitors into the Supreme Court.

Maid cafes are for curiosity, relaxation, and in a few places some naughty fun in a back room. No harm done, they're a part of the economy.

Women go to maid cafes too, as do couples. You're probably thinking 5 years back..
That said, I'll take #2

Yeah, there's a good reason that planes using drive by wire have a backup wire and a backup for that backup. Cars don't, good luck!

I expect as the disaster efforts wane, the ratio of food and delivery costs will increase.

You mess it up by trying to cut costs by cutting corners. This is why they've managed to make perfectly good gas petals since the end of WWII but mess it up in the 21st century.
Ever notice how many goods get worse over time? It's not a coincidence they're also getting cheaper and made by people from the third world these days. Toyota has only showed that even a first world country can make these mistakes.

And the irony of it all is they're beating other manufacturers in their own turf when setting up factories abroad. Whatever you may think about a Honda, it'll outlast a domestic car twofold easily. I had the hardest time outgrowing my Accord because it just wouldn't die.

That's the irony. Japan does want the US military in Japan. But nobody wants it in their town. It's called Narita Airport syndrome.

You know what's even safer? Not driving at all. You know what's safer than that? Not having babies. The safest thing is to stay home all day long. These all would save millions of lives compared to the difference these rules are trying to make.

When I was in Roppongi, I pointed out someone unconscious to a troop of police. They looked at him, then kept on walking. Later I kept seeing people like this, and it's clear they're high on drugs.

Obviously, even Hatoyama thinks he's a liability. The only question is whether he'll stay or go. Captain Obvious away!

Compared to Bush he's doing an awesome job. That said, his biggest problem is he's too much like Bush. There's really not as much difference between Republicans and Democrats as they like to admit. Both love to deficit spend and meddle in everybody's business.
