@ skeptical hippo
Actually, indefinite means the term of imprisonment hasn't been given therefore parole is possible. It is not necessarily for life.

Lizz - My understanding is that Mukichoueki is 'for and indefinite period' and Shuushunkei is for the rest of your natural life ( with no parole). I am no expert though.

and that is also the reason he has been given this sentence.

I think it is only because of pressure from the Hawker family on coming to Japan so many times and fronting the media and appealing to the public that has kept this case alive and finally leading to Ichihashi's arrest.

I have a hard time believing he will get out in 10 years. He tried so hard to avoid detection and ran from the authorities for so long that it was such and embarrassment to Japan and I just can't see them doing anything else to let them be subject to critisism in this case - in Japan and around the world.

I buy alot of my clothes on ebay or western websites. Jackets, dresses, skirts, jeans, underwear, etc. The main reason is the size. My husband doesn't fit into the 3 sizes they have here either, so his clothes come from overseas too ( he is Japanese but they don't fit ). I never buy shoes online, we get them when I am home. I buy all my food locally. I have an amazing local arcade with great fresh produce.

Aya Ueto dated Go Morita until recently. They broke up and the rumours started about these too. I don't see a problem. They are both adults. Good luck to them xx
