I agree with Hide Suzuki, look at the UK's RBS nearly 1million GBP payout amid falling share prices... at least the Japanese are doing something about it.

I like vending machines.
Used panties vending machine sounds like a good business opportunity... NOT!

Is one of the reasons for high level of suicides in Japan anything to do with the culture not wanting to share their issues with even friends I wonder? I know a lot of them keep to themselves, not wanting to 'bother' others with their troubles. Sometimes sharing can help a lot in relieving that pressure and who knows, a way out maybe found too...

I have had run-ins with a number of my 'friends' in Tokyo, a lot of the time because I didn't (and still don't) understand how the friendship thing works here.
Admittedly it is odd, really odd and based on hours and hours of discussion with a friend, it would really seem that all of them after school days are closed to any more close friends. The next level after school days would be to get married to be with the partner. I don't think it's possible to be real close friends with a Japanese person as well (unless they're westernised).

ppl are so quick to find someone to blame... i guess you folks think the parents wanted their kid to die. what is with this blame speculation and blame culture i have no idea.... as a parent how would YOU like it if your kid had a mishap and people started blaming you? think about how others feel before passing judgement...

Why everyone is so eager to judge I don't know. Awful story I fully agree but to comment on a story of which full knowledge is absent is unfair.
As most can understand for a person to be driven to kill your own family things must have been pretty bad. What exactly we don't know but one thing is as one person mentioned how strange that a 6 month old kid an mother survived a knife assault could mean that the attack may not as vicious as it might seem... In no way am I for the assailant, but unless there are more concrete details about the incident, all I see is yet another sad incident on this imperfect world.

I'm not sure on the spot violence is a good idea. I have heard of situations whereby ladies would accuse an innocent person and unless they paid up they would report them. I'm not sure about Japanese law but correct me if I'm wrong, I heard that there are fines for chikan who gets caught?
And with regards to snapping fingers on the spot as well, in a packed train, would you be absolutely certain you got the right person? How would you feel if you snapped a person's finger only to find out later it wasn't the groper?

Sad business, I deserted the UK (London) because of similar incidents happening frequently..... In the UK, there's far too many laws protecting underage perps...
