  I think the bigger contradiction is the "come here" noted on the sign. Talk about mixed signals.

  combini I think you are referring to the common law concept. Under the Civil Code of Japan knowledge of the reward is not required. Pls see article 529 at this link: http://www.japaneselawtranslation.go.jp/law/detail_main?id=1&vm=&re=

  We didn’t want the injuries we gave him to be discovered, so we tried to kill him.”

  Thanks for admitting to the premeditation. So, this is attempted murder. I am not sure what that is worth in the J family court system but I hope these kids are locked up for a long time.

  the definition of spouse does not include a “wife or husband by reason of any marriage ceremony..."

  The quoted portion of the US Immigration & Nationality Act is not applicable. This couple married under J law. No ceremony is required.

  It does not seem to have been added to the schedule yet: http://www.tiff-jp.net/en/schedule/ So, it might be difficult to find out when/where it is showing.

  Ah, Japan's finest. By saying "I don't remember anything" is he trying to set up the "I was drunk" defence, which would give him a free pass (in Japan)?

  Aren't artists supposed to make money on concerts? Maybe they make their money on licensing/merchandising. GLAY t-shirt anyone?

  "According to its English website http://www.kyokyo-u.ac.jp/ehp/english/index.html, 52 foreign students are enrolled."

  Relevance?
