know it's roots....NO to Morning Musume, NO to AKB48, NO to Micro-mini skirts as high school uniforms for girls...all of those are the simple roots of child pornography in this country. In other countries, as far as I know...poverty is the main root of the problem...and that's not easy to resolve.

That's good for you Zenny11... but there's a big number of people out there who are not fortunate enough to have a solid qualification and can't even speak any other language than their native ones. I've been here in Japan almost half of my life and I met a lot of foreigners from all over the country with different back grounds.
Well, anyway, going back to the topic...I think if the society itself can change, no matter what job or profession you have, it wouldn't matter.
I think anywhere you go in the world, teaching is one of the greatest profession. Only...not being appreciated sometimes...not just with people around, but the teachers themselves.

I think we can classify English teachers into 2 groups. First one is, the young ones and working holiday visa holders. Most of them came to Japan just to get a taste of what this country is like and they needed a job and as everyone knows, if you can't speak good Japanese here, you couldn't land on any decent job not unless you're an executive. So, to sum it all, their only chance is to be an English teacher. Within this group, we can find those people that "Zenny11" and "neverknow2" were talking about.
The next group is for those people who preferred to settle here and got married with Japanese. You can find serious and enthusiastic teachers within this group. Although most of them don't really want to do the job in the beginning, but has already accepted that Japan has nothing to offer to them than English teaching. These people have really tried and still trying to look for a better job but companies offer limited types of jobs for limited professions. Most of these people are even willing to go on blue-collar job but there's nothing to be found so they ended up loving their English teaching job and become masters of the profession.

punching and kicking the cameraman isn't the only reason for divorce. from all the news about this "starlet" (no idea until when she's gonna be a starlet), you could tell that she herself is a big problem.perhaps common with japanese women of her kind. but still glad that they aren't really that much. still we have lots of good ones out there.

Put him into trial at once and sentence him to death. There wouldn't be any justice for Lindsay if he just died of starvation.Make him confess in the court and hang him dead!

There won't be any jury for this case's trial. The incident happened before the lay-jury system was implemented. In short, he falls under the old system. I understand that everyone wants justice for Lindsay Hawker, of course and for the record, I'm not defending Ichihashi here. I just couldn't take what other people are writing. Sounds like they know everything and accept no corrections. Please....if you're gonna write something, write something meaningful, not annoying ones.

Tokyo doesn't need to host any Olympic Games anymore and in fact, only few residents supported for this bid. And now that the amout spent just for the bidding campaign was made public, a lot of people will burst to anger. That amout of money could help solve many problems of the city and it's another proof of "wasteful spending!" I think it's time for you to wake up Mr. Governor, forget about your own desire! And whoever the next governor would be, I hope he wouldn't bid for the 2020 Olympics. By that time, Ishihara is not on this earth anymore!!!

After 6 months, if nobody claimed the money, all the amount would automatically go to the person who found and reported it the police... That's how it goes here in Japan.

Change should start first with the environment and after that with the education system. They should stop using all those Katakana English on television and introduce more English programs especially for kids... There should also be some encouragement from parents to help their kids learn English while they're still young...Adults are a little difficult to teach so they need to develop new approach for them...English schools, some are really helpful but sad to say that most are just after the cash!...
