Betting: Japanese seem to have a penchant for running away from accidents they cause. I think it was Goro from Smap did it, a couple of baseball players have done it as well as numerous citizens.
Probably because even if it's not your fault as the driver you're very likely…

Ah the good old "Sai-tei" line. Still the number 1 groping line I see. Looking back I don't know how I put up with that hell ride for 4 years... I remember a few incidents where as the train would be pulling away from the station after an unusually long…

Interesting... I never really though that this could be a point of difficulty. I applied for my first card from Citi back here in 2000, was 26 and under 7M per year. Its the only card I've ever needed, not used much and always paid in full the following month…

They should have never used the "to prevent terrorism" excuse when implementing this system in the first place. If fingerprinting was really meant to catch potential terrorists then EVERYONE should be fingerprinted not just foreigners. Fact is the only cases of terrorism in Japan have been home grown, the Japanese…

And yet another lucky break for the J-Police… no wonder they’re incompetent, half the crimes end up in the suspect turning themselves in and confessing to everything. Probably one of the few police forces in the world who's key strategy is waiting for the suspect to arrive at the local…

On the morning news they had news footage of the chalked out foot prints of the suspect. The camera was low and running along the trail. I could not believe that the media is allowed to pretty much disturb the crime scene only a day after the crime took place.…

Sad news hope the culprit/s get caught.
Why are officials labeling it "terror" though? Seems to be the popular catchphrase and completely out of context.... yeah, lets use this "terror" event to help approve the fueling mission in the Indian Ocean to help against the "war on terror".

The media coverage is overkill for such a trivial topic. To be one of the top stories on the evening news is a joke. Why is it so shocking? I don't understand. Its illegal.... fine so book them and get on with life. The media publicity is not only overdone…
