I think she looks pretty good. Can't understand all the complainers. This type of news is the only reason I visit Japan Today as I get my serious Japan news fix from other sources.

Hollywood has never been very creative - it is all about the money and the lowest common denominator. Mos of the creative movies come from sources other than Hollywood
Posted in: Hollywood is bombarding us this summer with lots of sequels and remakes, such as "Iron Man 2," "Sex and the City 2," "Toy Story 3," "Shrek 4," and "The Karate Kid," among others. Whatever happened to creativity and originality in films?

ummmm . . . have you not heard of JAXA - Japan's own high tech space programme? Admittedly they are not manned (womanned) flights.

with the protest mass turnout there is obviously a lot of support to stop whaling in Germany. :-)

I'm not quite sure if this is a tragic story or a humorous story.

ON the TV new in New Zealand they had a couple of Maritime Investigators review all the video footage. They concluded that while the Japanese vessel could have done more to avoid the collision it is clear that the Sea Shepherd accelerates in the last few seconds directly into the path of the Japanese ship.

These laws are debated quite regularly at the IWC and usually are changed very little

what's interesting here in Japan is that this kind of thing makes the news headlines. I really don't believe Japan is any better or worse for this kind of crime than any other country. While you don't usually see these kinds of headlines in western countries it does not mean it isn't happening - scour the court notices in your local paper and you will see child exploitation/abuse crimes on an almost daily basis.

This seems like a very ignorant comment with little understanding of modern Japan.

Japanese movies - some great - some crap. Percentage wise - I woudl say Japan has a definite edge over Hollywood which is about 85% crap.
