Oh, the shame.

Gotta go with a leash. Anyone with - or who has had - toddlers KNOWS how they can be off in a second - into dangerous situations, traffic etc. The leash/restraint/tether/ harness (whatever...) may not appeal to all, but given the howl-downs that have been seen recently on these pages about Japanese parents NOT supervising their children while on the streets makes some of these comments quite ridiculous. The example seen in the picture is an example of good parenting, seeing the circumstances. Let's also hope he straps his child firmly into a childseat when they're out driving

'Wishy-washy answers'? Usually such 'details' are reported here - she really must have been keeping 'mum'.

'Beat around the bush'? Saori, as an AV star, isn't that what you and your company hope your fan base will do? If they aren't doing that, those DVD sales will most likely....um...er...'dry up.'
Poor choice of (translated) words, but many laughs had. Thanks for that!

According the BBC, a gaggle of NK functionaries bought a British brewery (Ushers) a number of years ago, and shipped it piece by piece to the edge of Pyongyang.
The BBC showed the ad - someone pouring it made the 'head' of half the volume of the mug. In Australia, a serve like that would come with a spoon so you could eat the foam. ;)
I'm also a bit uncertain of ANY beer that names itself after a river. Would I buy and drink a "Yarra Lager" or "Murray Bitter"? Nah, anything with the word 'Yarra' in it would have to be murky brown in color, along with something floating in it. :)
