    Another brilliant Japanese drama. Who plays the comic relief in this one?

    I think the headline answers this pretty succinctly. I'm laughing already and it hasn't even started yet.

    the ratio of productive working people to non-working elderly people gets more an more out of whack.

    In the age of globalisation you don't need an increasing population to increase profits or finances. You simply need what population there is to invest in winners. Smaller population of wise investors = economically wealthy country.

    New commissioner looking for a scapegoat to appear tough on the issue perhaps??? Only 3 have ever been suspended due to failed doping test - all foreigners. Are you trying to tell me that Kiyohara's sudden growth in his Giant years is from dedication in the weight room? Every Japanese…

    It amazes me that many Japanese are open to publicly condemn Chinese Olympics with demos etc. for human rights reasons, yet they will do jack squat to protest their governments 30yen tax grab. This country is so ripe for a good ole revolution. Too bad they dont have independent thinkers…

    Moriya also allegedly received $32,000, or 3.63 million yen, in cash through bank accounts of his wife and his second eldest daughter from Miyazaki from May 2004 to February 2006.

    "The emperor told Wen then that the government decides on the royal family’s foreign trips, a palace spokesman said."

    I'll never forget the headline in the sports shinbun quoting the old fart owner of the Gomiuri Giants the day after they declined to offer Nori to a contract:

    "kinpatsu iranai"
