I applaud the press for being honest, am tired of reading Japanese are superhumans, always polite and honest. Take it from this victim, there are good and bad folks in every country, no exceptions.

Bowling centers in Thailand feature blacklighting, bars, great music, babes, and all sorts of extra fun activities. Don't know what they offer in Japan but if it's just bowling they're out of touch with youth, they could offer the same amenities all are avail here.

In my opinion the articles featuring Japanese celebs on JT contain no meat, no substance and are pure crap. Just posting Ms. Junko Tanaka has been appointed ABC Company Mascot of the year is not journalism, it's drivel. If JT spent a little time doing proper interviews, presenting
their subject matter in an intelligent yet entertaining manner instead of insulting the intelligence of its readers, I'll bet more readers would be grateful, starting with me.
Moderator: We frequently carry in-depth interviews with Japanese celebs in the Entertainment/Arts section in Features and have done so for the past nine years.

Guns Germs & Steel is classified as science /history, not historical /fiction, was winner of Rhone-Poulenc Science Book Prize, no easy accomplishment. I will write to Jared Diamond and ask him.

Using a Maori War Dance to prommote anything (but war) is barbaric. The Moriori's are groaning in their graves. In 1835, 900 Maori warriors armed with guns, clubs and axes, sailed to the Chatham Islands, butchered and ate the peaceful Moriori population who had renounced war, killing the entire race like sheep. A Maori conqueror explained, ‘We took possession, in accordance with our customs and we caught and killed all the people. Not one escaped. But what of that?’ Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs and Steel.

Glorifying war through dance and other art forms is a sign of the violent nature of man; to be attracted by such displays proves we haven't evolved.

Look at all the ridiculous concrete gravesites everywhere coating the earth, killing all growth. When a human body dies, let it go, cremate it and say goodbye. No need for egotistical monuments to the dead. Do your venorating at home.

The original members of Pink Floyd only sold 70% when they came here and played the Yoyogi Oympic Stadium but maybe local tribute acts playing small venues can get by. Any music played live is better than prerecorded, sampled, looped crap. Support live music.
