    juddernman sums it up quite well. "Wait till your married, nice to look at but nothing on the inside." The 11th point might be, "they'll object to whatever just to show they can." I think its their way of getting back at having been given ZERO opportunities. as in period. And when you think of it, its the way the society runs. Look at the choice the people have to vote on for politicians, the teams they have to cheer for, the athletes, the "talento" they/we have to watch ad naseum on the "major" channels year in and year out, year after year.

    Used to love these kinds of places. But no more. Just give me good quality freshly cooked rice (preferrably whole brown rice) , soup (miso thank you), noodles (soba/udon without pork soup thank you), fruit, vegetables, peanuts, sesame, tofu, a thin slice of meat/fish if you choose, and nice hot tea after the meal.....day after day after day. Its the real "dining" experience. All the rest is for show...and at least $50 a pop.

    Excuse me Ms. Asada. Weren't you going to beat Kim Yu Na's top Olympic History mark? Goes to show you how competitive/fickle the world of sports can be. One day high on adrenaline you can dream of the moon, next day, a hit of reality and your fighting just to make the top 3.

    The fetish exists partly because the J-women allow it to exist. As hard as that might be to swallow, think about it. The women just go along with the sexist crap from K1-through K8 Jr. High and High School and beyond. STand up women! Women only trains is not the problem and not the answer. Get more respect as equal citizens. Oh, I just woke up. Well it was a good dream anyways.

    Right. I don't know what the heck oba-sans see in this guy, other than the White Sonata fame. K-women, now that's another story entirely.

    I wonder how many tons are being grown/produced in these borders? Anyone have a guess?

    If all J-singers were as talented as KK they would really deserve the name "talent". His voice and music transcends language, culture barriers. A real world class singer song writer and musician.

    That would have to be The "Smokers ONLY Cafe" right across the street from Shinbashi Sta.

    Protesting in Japan only works if a) you are a member of the Yakuza supported right, or if you are doing something else like protesting against Nike's name being included in Yamashita Park (for a considerable amount of money). All other forms are just seen as troublesome. When we want to protest an opposing opinion to a and b, the people here just say "shoga nai". Shoga nai. In my opinion, the mentality and life style in this country goes beyond anything that outsiders can become a part of or truly fathom. The history of the country, the oppressiveness and restraints of living on the archepelago, WWII, and more. Outsiders choose to live here and must put up with alot. But the J-people also put up with a lot so having extra "protests" to them seems childish or troublesome. Everyone has a protest to make. Some just feel THEIR protest is more important than YOUR protest.

    One English phrase that used to be uno No. 1 was "Mind if I smoke?" Can you imagine someone saying that nowadays? They know how bad it is, and how the times have caught up on the "coolness" of it. I think lighting up might qualify as the worst social offense outside of relieving oneself and the other bodily functions which should be done in private. And yes, its ridiculous to have smokers in restaurants in Japan. Not many are big enough to clearly separate one from the other.

    Quite a contrast of pros and cons. I agree she ain't no Sarah Vaughan, but that's not what J-girls like because they can't ever relate to that kind of stuff. Ayu is their alter ego because she sings to their mental/emotional/(dare I say spiritual) states. Which to say the least are different than ours (read foreigners). I heard her songs for several hours in a car the other day and as BGM goes, the music becomes more palatable with time. The voice never improves, but the total sound with her voice/lyrics/timing/synthesizer effects starts to become listenable.

    Kwaabish, the reason is that they're not Japanese (get it?). Also read earlier that Kazuo Matsui prefers to stay in US even if he can "only" play in the minor leagues. Tells you something about life on the two planets.

    NAdal, a lefty, with awesome speed, power, stamina and humble personality (at least in hero interview) has 43 wins, 9 majors and still 24 years old Federer a classic right-hander of superb, almost ballerinac technical beauty has 63 wins, 16 majors and still only 32-3-4 (?) years old. This kind of competition makes for great fan interest!

    And neither is smiling? He's saying, "I just got nabbed". She's saying "maybe I shouldn't have pressed him for it in the parking lot."

    ensnaturae2 "one young man's life in fragments, two broken hearted families. I prefer that something better than hate & rage might grow out of these sad circumstances."

    Please don't equate the perpetrators rights/sympathies to be equal to those of the dead victim and her family, for heavens sake!

    Would that he thought these thoughts BEFORE committing the dastardly murder. And don't give me any of that womanslaughter BS. Any "normal" conscientious human being would never, ever take the series of very meditated horrendous actions of a) killing b) stuffing in a bathtub covered in sand (never heard of that before), c) running past 9 policeman barefoot no less, d) staying fugitive in one's own country for over 2 years even though an awkward looking individual taller than the avg Japanese person, e) multiple plastic surgeries, f) trying to finally escape to Okinawa.....I mean COME ON! All these actions were of a criminal nature and a criminal mind. Its too late to "come clean" and say I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" And to send such a lettter to the parents of the victim is as written above simply despicable and selfish beyond belief. Just like a-b-c-d-e-f above.

    Ditto all the above. I just hope this guy never sees freedom again.His dastardly act doesn't deserve a second act or even a chance for a second act.We should make a hero out of the plastic surgeon office person who revealed the photos that led to this killers capture...after years as a fugitive. That he had the nerve to stay here instead of fleeing to to Viet Nam or Thailand etc. as rumours mentioned, prove that here in good ol Japan is the safest of all places, even for xxx like him. It makes you wonder about the relative safety and mind your own business policy of life here.
