What a joke. Typical Japanese response to criticism from the international community; paint foreigners as the evil reason behind their shortcomings.

noborito, ill have to take your word for it about their record sales, but quick, can u hum one of their tunes? Let's face it, they haven't been relevant if at all since the 80's. They are just one more dinosaur group that comes to the Japanese trough to make…

Why don't they ban overtime and employ more workers, including casual workers, to share out the work better among everyone?

pretty simple. If companies hire the needed workers, they have to provide them with all the benefits full time employees are entitled to. Japanese solution; work one worker to death…

movieguy - the Japanese public has been fully brainwashed/coerced into their supposed work ethic. It reminds me of a coversation I had with a Japanese woman years ago. After a bit of back and forth about the quality of life in Japan vs the west, she finally snapped back; "We…

non-paying, life-sapping overtime is back! Thank God. For a minute there, Japanese workers were in danger of leading normal lives.

meanringo - Ban cars. funniest thing Ive read on JT for some time. The other day, a kid on a bike ran into me at a crosswalk. By your curious reasoning, we should now ban all bikes, as well.

dr jones - what is a "looser"? How ironic that Mori, THE WORST, most embarrassing PM ever, is commenting on who's "appropriate" But don't get your hopes up, smithinjapan et al, the populace will come to vote in their usual 30% droves and the only ones who do vote -…

Rubbish. That happens all over the world.

True, but we are talking about Tokyo, Japanese drinking habits, and the fact that most Japanese (due to an enzyme they lack) can't hold their booze. If u see someone passed out in a Tokyo bar or train station, the chances of it…
