    A poorly written, un-researched fluff article. Much like its target topic.

    And if you believe that, you'll believe anything! ah ha ha.

    Its a spray on tan, intended to help show contrast. If you see pasty white skin on a body builder you'll realize why they try to look darker.

    The don't look like their using steroids at all. Whoever said they think these guys are on the juice, has no clue what their talking about.

    There's nothing wrong with people trying to improve themselves. Too bad so many like to just type out a few nasty remarks rather than get off their butt and do something.

    Japanese police don't deal with crazy violent crime on a daily basis, like police in places such as Detroit or LA or Washington DC. I'm guessing that they are so shocked at seeing it really happen, they hesitate. Just a guess.

    Nice to see that the Japan police are not trigger happy.

    Abromofo:

    To all the gaijin men who think they've been felt up on trains in Japan: It's wishful thinking!! In my opinion it's EXTREMELY unlikely that the girl intended to do anything. Contrary to popular gaijin belief, most Japanese girls aren't gagging for a piece of you.

    You're right, it is unlikely. Most aren't. But it does happen. Same in the reverse situation: most men aren't train gropers, but there are a few and they are active.

    Northlondon, these aren't the bush'n'blair years. Liberal isn't a dirty word anymore. I don't think anyone missed the irony, but thanks for pointing it out.

    I agree that it is alot less threatening when it happens to a man rather than a woman, so it is difficult to compare situations. The women are also alot more subtle with their methods. But since male foreigners usually are afforded a wide space on trains, it is usually easy to identify a female intruder.

    I'm sure many of us have been on the train and you feel something brush you and you think, is that intentional or just the train moving? It happens a couple times, and finally you give someone a dirty look. Perhaps 3 stations have come and gone, so its been 10 minutes. I don't think the groping is always blatant - its often disguised as a "natural" occurrence and so it is isn't easy to sort out exactly when it happens. And it isn't just men who go for a little physical contact on the train.

    The police don't seriously tackle the Yak problem, because they are in bed with each other. Pathetic indeed. Hooray for the brave citizens of Akasaka.

    What's with people living with their parents until they're over 40 years old? Or over 20 for that matter?

    Awesome. In North America, two kids and all their gear mean parents get a van. In Japan, it means mom adds a basket to the bicycle. Healthy. Environmentally friendly. Wonderful!

    Some actual science on the method if you are interested: http://jap.physiology.org/cgi/content/abstract/106/4/1119

    Standard resistance training isn't unnatural. Its a replacement for the work we'd be doing if we didn't lead sedentary lives. Its ironic that people want to find a shortcut even during exercise. Why not just take some steroids?

    And take a look at the photo: The girl is exercising her deltoids, which are well above the point where her armbands are reducing the bloodflow. It doesn't even make sense.

    "...a friend of mine...." This is called anecdotal evidence. Personally, I wouldn't be inclined to reduce my circulation and then exercise, based on the story of a friend of a friend. Why not just get off your butt and do the exercise properly? There are no shortcuts to having a fit, strong, healthy body.

    The inventor caused his own pulmonary embolism while trying to develop the method, resulting in hospitalization. So there are risks.

    The question was about "close friends". That implies a friendship that gets close to the boundary. Some partners will find that type of relationship to be threatening, and some won't. Which type of partner do you have? A better question might be, why do you feel the need to have "close friends of the opposite sex"? As opposed to just, friends, of any sex.

    That's an oddly technical article in an otherwise non-technical news site. And its also quite flawed. This simulation method will not lead to 100% yield. It will help improve the yield due to a specific defect type, but not all other defects.

    Softball! Professionals don't play, generally, so we'd get to see true amateur competition. Karate! Speed, power, skill, wow. Golf is too elitist. Roller sports are entertaining, but hardly classic sports. Rugby sevens is played by a fraction of the world, but is damn exciting. Squash...fun to play, but to watch? Yawn.

    Aspara: I was not aware of that rule. Its odd then that it is openly sold in security shops in Tokyo. Maybe I should just buy her a telescopic club? :) Whack to the hand!
