Suzuki Muneo: mata amerika ni yarareta yo! Actually an entertaining match and far better than any of the Japanese men's matches. And they are not out yet, the bronze medal is still up for grabs.

So, is Japan trying to have these people extradited to Japan or have them tried in their respective countries? Boarding a vessel might constitute entering the soil of the country where said ship is registered. Just harrasing in international waters seems a (very) long shot to bother Interpol with. Interpol issued two warrants for the arrest of El Cino, accused of far more serious crimes and the Japanese government flatly ignored Interpol. Maybe they haven't forgotten. As for whaling, consumption of whale meat nowadays is negligable as compared to the lean post war years. Favourite food? Supermarkets sell more "tainted" Chinese eal than whale meat. Actually, chances are your super doesn't even carry it. Whaling is bad business. It costs loads of tax payer's money to support only a hand full of people. It seems more a matter of saving one's pride and the "world against us" mentality.

It's the "unemployed former businessman". Anyway, when he gets the bill from this Geragos fellow, he might opt to stay in jail.

More rimocon? Anyway, this TV shopping business is pretty expensive. They claim that the products they peddle are cheap and some might be, but if you do some searching, the same products are often much cheaper elsewhere.

Yes, well, most people know you shouldn't do this and that, but there will always be folks trying to outrun the cops. I think there is something here like stopping pursuit when things get out of hand. Don't cop cars/bikes nowadays have camera equipment? Must be easy to take a picture of the licence plate.

Anticipating while driving is seemingly rare. Truck drivers are often in a hurry and driving way too fast. Funny to read bumper stickers of trucks speeding past you: "o saki ni douzo".

Well, wear a suit for crying out loud (like the yakuza) and they won't hassle you. This looks more like Attack on the Nerds. Every first week of the month I believe.

Nothing else to do in the Ginza? I wondered why one would take pictures and video's of a dog. Talk about empty lives. Maybe they view the pictures later as a reminder how pathetic they are. Well, it's Sunday, I'm off for work.

Haha, hilarious post Eastokyo. This festival once seemed popular among prostitutes, who prayed for good business and for the protection against sexually transmitted diseases. And what about those girls suckling on penis shapes candy?

Maybe they are giving the tickets away. Didn't they do something like that during that Tokyo gig the other day? And of course, many people like a good freak show, so who knows.
