Looking at it once more, the Star Trek guys really do look uncomfortable, and understandably so. They are all cool guys, here to promote a movie they've worked hard on and which has a rich heritage... but yet they've been stuck behind a group of idiot little girls.

Obviously these…

The wonderful Emiri Miyasaka would have been much more appropriate at this event. I could see her as a female Sulu.

But to get an idea of the ludicrousness and incongruity on display here, just imagine these AKB48 little girls as members of the Star Trek crew. They'd be spending…

The Star Trek guys must be wondering why the organizers of this event invited a bunch of idiot little girls along.

The two groups seem so incongruous... it's ludicrous.

Japan seems to specialize in making these movie promotion events completely ridiculous.

I wouldn't hand it in but instead would selflessly use it to stimulate the local economy.

yet as a toddler my son was plagued with atopy

Is he better now? (hope so)

The article does seem to be about chronic atopy that affects adults rather than transient episodes in kids.

the you´re confessing you don´t know how to drive.

I do know how to drive but I can't seem to translate that knowledge into actual driving skill.

I'll grant that you've got a point about backing into a space at the side of the road, that does seem to challenge…

This is tragic and a reminder of how dangerous car parks are. Kids should never be left unsupervised in car parks, even for a few seconds. Hope the little children recover.

As for reversing, I'm always very impressed at Japanese people's reversing and parking skills. They're much better than me.

I've heard some Japanese people say that "atopy" is rampant here because Japan is just too clean, especially for kids.

Rigorous handwashing and bathing regimes, homes without pets, parks lacking big grassy spaces for kids to get completely muddy, etc. It all adds up to a germ-free sterile environment so…

They chose her because she's "kawaii". No further analysis is required.
