There must be something missing from this article. It does not say that she was prevented from leaving, it just said that he drover her around and that she got in the car of her own will to start with or at least that is what the nuance is. Was she angry because they did not go shopping? Was she angry because he renigged on some some agreement they made? Was his body odor unbearable? Why would we post an article so lacking in basic information?

why do famous people marry commoners? because they are commoners with fancy bags, nothing more.
typical jsnot thinking she is all that and a bag of chips. had she been something special, he would not have been out with a crack whore.
thinking of the kid? wouldnt buy that if you threw in the ginzu steak knive set. the most used words by jbirds are shikaishi and choudai.
enjoy your life Akiko, he is better off without you.

orgasmic cries in the bathroom... from a 50 year old woman... just how many 50 year old women in japan have actually experienced an O... would love to see the stats on that. women, sound off; )
over 40? better off going to soapland than trying to forget her nagging about the car, the genkan, the kitchen walls, the kids, your shrinking bonus, the dripping faucet, the cup you left on the table last night....

personally, I dont know why they waste time with the clothes at all. lets just be honest and let them sell their sex. who is kidding who? she does not represent japan, she is just representing her sexuality. oh, I am so cynical... of course she wants to eliminate cancer and world poverty ; ) just let her prance naked, that will solve the problem completely. for the record, the pseudo kimono sucks as do the garter n stockings.

stranger said it well, though they clamor for rights and respect, they enjoy the benefits ( at least the cute ones and the ones that put out ) of being treated as sex objects. dont think there are benefits? do you think jal attendants get in because of their kyodai diplomas? or the overwhelming percentage of attractive girls selling retail, working in offices etc. ? they get jobs and advancement by pushing the sex button but complain when they are treated like sex objects. live by the sword, die by the sword.

nice point techall, I dont think that many jfolk want to acknowledge their korean connections ; ) but mt. d's theory is based on lingustics and the japanese language causing them to develop the right side of their brain vs. people raised with other language. could that also explain the seeming impossibility of jfolk to acquire the english language?

I like the look, shame on her for succumbing to the pressure. Gams like that should be seen and appreciated. Society advances only on the sacrifice of the strong... Next time stand for all that is good n decent Emirichan!

netrek, that is exactly right. due to a large amount of people feeling sorry for girls because they were discriminated against, society has given them a sledge to use without recourse. at this point, all a jbird has to do is scream chikan! and the guy is convicted on her word solely. read about it right here just a few weeks ago.
this article is dearth of information so it is hard to know what really happened in south africa. smith has made the leap of faith that since the woman said so and that many j-ossan are KY, then she must have been harassed so we will have to go by his nose on this one I guess ; )

No smith, didn't blame the woman, just throwing some sawdust on the oil. Damn, and what is with the hard ass attack on my grammar? I think that usage would qualify under colloquial speech... I always write 'nite' as well, so go ahead n hammer me on that while you are at it ; )
There has been no conviction, just another woman claiming sexual harassment for whatever reason. I have noticed in my time here that lately there is a real strangeness associated with this whole notion of just what sexual harassment is in Japan. And not just from the girls, I hear a lot of especially young jguys use the term flippantly referring to anything of any sexual content.
Different strokes for different folks. I think that sexuality is a large and natural part of the human experience and deserves a bit more pragmatism and things are becoming overly uptight over the last few years. I don't claim sexual harassment when the girls that I work with stroke my arms and get goo goo about the heavy hair growth. But I can bet that most would scream sexual harassment if I stroked their exposed back or neck and commented on the sexy downy hair... Then again, now that I think about it, few have ; )
If I meet a bird that turns me on, I just might approach her more than once seeking a relationship and by the latest sexual harassment standards, one no and it is game over... I went thru the Tommy Hopkins course and for those of us that did, the first 7 rejections are negotiable.

3 hots n a cot with minimal health care and clean sheets to boot. Sounds like the fellah found the responsibility of life too much to bear and chose the nicer prison and got some sightseeing in on the way.

Happens everyday in every manner of workplace. If the girl likes the guy, she receives his advances and they have a sordid affair or a relationship. If she does not like the guy she screams sexual harassment. Not enough information in the story to indicate sexual harassment.

A tragedy, pure and simple... R.I.P. baby doe...
So many posts full of venom and misinformation.
Japan has national health care but it does not cover prenatal care so the odds are this gal had no idea what to do nor any medical care at all. Baby hatches and orphanages are of limited help when a girl is just struggling to get thru the month as it is... a hundred and a half for a visit to a doctor is a lot when you make 750 yen an hour part time. Not to mention the 3 to 4 thousand bucks to deliver the tyke... All in all I would say that society at large is quite criminally negligent in many of these and other similar cases.
Does it really matter how the girl got pregnant? What is with all the blame for the pregnancy in the first place? I had a condom bust wide open last month and it is far from the first time that has happened to me. Shxt happens. What was it that Jesus said? Something about "He who has not sinned.."
Once a baby exists it is all of our responsibility to assure its well being. Does it matter if it is born or not? That is what separates us from the animal kingdom, or at least it should. Viability is at about 21 weeks now with modern technology and yes at 20 weeks it looks just like a full term baby only smaller. Yet literally hundreds of these babies are ripped from their mothers wombs each week here in Japan. Where is the outcry? What hypocrisy.
Certainly a crime against humanity was committed here but the simple knee jerk reactions here do little to address the depth of complexity that led to this tragedy. I would not want that this tragedy is compounded by making this mom a scapegoat and denying her the medical and mental help she is desperately in need of now.

Cool Smith, if they are with their boyfriends, I ask them if they mind their girlfriends showing off. Havent had a black eye, cops havent hauled me off either. Seems like when confronted with the reality of the situation, most people see the lack of sense on their own part.
Seems like a couple people said I was blaming the victim. Seems they missed my point. I dont think there was a victim here at all but I dont have all the facts. If he stuck the camera up her skirt, shame on him. If he didnt have to violate her space to get the shot, no foul. And comparing to the little girl that was raped and shunned by her family? Get real.
And for all the posts claiming that Jossans are more perverse than the rest of the world? Fetish is not a Jword.
At the end of the day, Bamboohat had the best post by far ; )

"That Jbird knew full n well that wearing a miniskirt keeps her 'special area' just a minor angle out of view on stairs n escalators. She knew full well what she was doing when she put on a skirt that short. Who gives an rat if the guy copped a look?
And I am sure some missionary will now tell me that I would not think so if it had been my daughter! Well, I told my girls not to show their 'specal area' to strangers, pure n simple. They can wear shorts under skirts.
Now when we look up to the second floor balcony at the hankyu station and we happen to catch views of the 'special areas' clearly exhibited, are we to trot ourselves down to the koban and turn ourselves in for upskirt viewing?
I am aware that there is a difference but not enough of one in my book to press charges. I don't view this as a crime if he did not touch her nor enter the cylinder of space as established by the with of her clothes. I think all of this is just way out of hand. She has the right to dress provocatively and the guys have the right to look as long as they don't touch. Of course he had to bend down to get it... so we are going to make small children and midgets wears stilts to assure a woman privacy regardless of the clothes they wear?
Passing laws in excess of this crosses the bounds of reason. I routinely compliment the ladies that sit across from me on train on their panties when they show them to me. The more common reaction is 'thank you'. The ones that are offended or shocked can cover up next time. There is no presumption of privacy once you display it."

I have been paying my sweetie for sex for years... any guy that thinks he gets it for free is just fooling himself. Try giving her a 5000 yen bill n see if it makes a difference, knowing jbirds, I bet most would be surprised at the sudden service ; )

what with all the Japan bashing here?
Japan has its idiosyncrasies, but slamming the culture wholesale as immature because a market share would like to use an introduction service to take some of the difficulty and mystery out of hooking up? Sounds like not so bad an idea to me, I met my wife on a bulletin board, sure it was guzen but she turned out nicer than the ones that I picked up at the bar, park, supermarket, 7-11...

And just why not borrow to the limits from China, India, etc... Exactly what is the down side of this? I have a sneaking suspicion that those that control the country, ie, those that control the purse strings down at the federal reserve know exactly what they are doing. They are sucking up the cash capital of those countries that think they are getting rich of the US and stringing them along with interest payments. Lets say that America does default on its China debt... Exactly what is China going to do? Are they going to try to repo California? Manhattan Island? They are going say "enough is enough! our political prisoners are no longer going to make mcdonalds happy meal toys"? So what? We are going to lose the Chinese market for say GM? Do you really think that GM can compete with Toyota for that market for the next 10 years? Absolutely nothing will happen if America defaults. Just like when GM goes under and nothing changes. Just like when uncle willy's bike shop goes under and nothing happens.
The Donald did the same thing when he boxed the banks into the corner by borrowing so much that they could only come out by being his cheerleading squad. Welcome to 21st century economics.

great article! after reading this, I had my first cerebral orgasm.
great to know that I can quit wasting money on cologne ; )
hahaha, girls dont care much about age. they just want a guy that treats them kindly, goes down on them, and lasts long enough to get them off. probably much more likely with an older guy.
oh, and harachan rocks. I think she was just spouting off what will charge up her largest market, but she is one highly skilled jbird.
as for the other guy... sounds like a lot of wind to sell his book.

Quite and interesting set of posts. Seems most of the discussion is about wannabe teachers vs. 'papered' teachers in spite of the article being about schools being unable to secure a significant market share.
First, all this talk about highly qualified teachers.... Mothers around the world lead their children to levels of basic conversation far beyond the average Japanese English conversation ability. All without specialized training ; )
Face it, English is a novelty here in Japan and is rarely necessary for career. Any marginal amount of research will find that the wages that an 800 toeic score are far less than commensurate with the amount of effort necessary to attain such a level. Saw some listings just the other day offering a spectacular 1200 yen an hour for such a worker. The average Japanese worker would be far better off mastering mathematics, science or Japanese if they were really serious about a career. The cold reality is that a Japanese worker with a marginal command of English can get the job done by recruiting and managing English speakers from a host of countries.
The reason that Japanese have such pathetic levels of English acquisition is a matter of need and motivation. Nothing more nothing less. Of course there is the odd student that is truly motivated, and they will master the language relative to their personal goals. But lets be honest, how many of our students out there are actually willing to read novels and produce compositions necessary to round out their 'one/two' hours a week? In 15 years of teaching and training teachers I can probably count the number with out having to take off my shoes.
As far as why ECC, Geos, Berlitz etc have been unable to attain a commanding market share? I think it is simply a matter of the product they are selling. I think it is much more of a fashion item, similar to restaurant fare and therefore much more subject to bootstrap level competition. Just like there are not major restaurants that command 70 percent market share and are constantly annoyed by mom n pop shops, an Eikaiwa class can be easily opened in the living room of the housewife graduate of OOOgaidai with little or no investment. And before someone jumps all over that saying how unqualified she is, for a child or a beginner she is most likely more than qualified to bring them up to a level 'This is the pen that my mom gave me.' Lest us not forget, John Adams mother taught him 7 languages at their kitchen table. Even if someone were to manage to really take a huge chunk of the market there would be a huge measure of diminishing returns due to the enormous amount of advertising required.
Add to all that, the fact that the technology of bringing 'native' speakers in front of students has become a non issue, anybody with a credit card and an internet connection can get lessons on Skype for just hundreds of yen an hour with college educated English speakers from a host of 2nd or 3rd world countries.
There is no doubt that the fragmentation in the market will continue to increase. For those that want to continue in the market, I suggest finding a niche and look toward a language boutique. Probably wont get rich but the days of making 25 to 30 man yen a month with marginal responsibility at the local OOOeikaiwa are quickly coming to an end. Regardless of the number of parchments on your ego wall ; )
