The sad thing is, if you put Kusanagi in Keanu's role then no one but you and I would go to the movie.

Hachi the stray is actually a fairly popular rumor you hear from young locals time to time tho (if you spend any time with them). But it's only a rumor and the fact remains that 1) He indeed did show up in the morning and evening every day. 2) And his appearance matches the time professor commuted to and from work. 3) And this was his daily task years before becoming famous through news (people started giving treats only after this). So it's easily disproved.

tknoid2. As eloquent as you may be, your views on Japanese society is consistently pessimistic/negative/angry in every topic I happen to notice and I think it shows your frame of mind towards Japan more than anything IMO.
Cleo. I once went up a snowy hill with my grandfather's dog in my early years. And when I tried to slide down on a sleigh, she grabbed me each time thinking I was falling off. Clearly an instinct to spoil the ride rather than being a Samaritan friend. >:/
Anyways, sorry if I offended anyone for sounding too cynical :/

I'm not sure what percentage of western people have colorful hair but I still find dark hair to be more classy. She's still cute tho. Hey Hey You You!

I think Hachiko stayed in front of Shibuya station only because everyone was feeding him yakitori all the time.

Just an ordinary work day for both. SS bothers whaling ships to receive paychecks from conservation groups, and whalers hunt whales to get paid by the fishery agency. It's six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Rotten butter is weak. Just for the fun of it, SS needs to get some torpedo's and blow those whaling ships into smithereens.

Becky is cute and funny but she's different because she doesn't act so girly like all the other girls that I've ever seen in every J-program.

Japan is a safety obsessed culture. The public demands the highest food safety standards from both the private sector and the Government. Offences do exist but still very rare. Same goes for product safety or public safety. And that’s exactly why any kind of incident becomes the top story of every newspaper. After the US mad cow disease event, even Washington thought Japan's food safety standards were too rigorous. So I'm not too worried about labels or food safety. I think the system is working quite well.

I don't see the value in precious stones or expensive wedding rings. Maybe some are just that shallow and the only way they feel a man loves them is through something extravagant like that. It should be the thought that counts.

Ditto for Calvin and Hobbes, best comic strip ever. Calvin was making Suzie absolutely livid all the time hahah. Liked the friendship with the imaginary tiger, snowman bits and all the insights into life.

tiger - Hotel restaurants in Shinjuku and Yebisu offers cake buffet for about 3,000JY. It's a bit embarrassing to go alone but I sometimes use them anyways.
