sabiwabi...your views of American politics are as off target as your opinions on Japanese history. America has been lucky to survive the Bush, Cheney, Rice, Libby, Wolfowitz, et al collection of neocons. Give Obama some credit -- he is more of a realist than an ideoloque like Bush. That along…

In my opinion, this "new" place is a blight on Omotesando. They basically just took the old McDonalds, and ripped out all the first floor seating. So now all the folks are sitting/eating along the sidewalk with bags of fries and hamburgers all the way up to Anniversaire Cafe. Completely…

sabiwabi...very clever of you. Anyone who believes this guy is wrong, and Japan was an aggressor, and committed countless atrocities, received an "indoctrination". But, of course, those like Tamogami simply have an "open mind". Please try that sophmoric approach somewhere else. The folks here are way too intelligent to fall…

toguro...I agree with you -- half-way. I agree that rjd_jr is right. Many of the reactions here are too defensive. But, I honestly feel it is in the exact same vein as the ASDF major shopping in the buff. This guy is only 21. The major was 30-something. And both…

Wonder if they'll be back in Daiba at one of the hotels on December 25th with their "cakeee", so they can "celebrate" Christmas, Japan style.

Five years between welcoming ceremonies. What a shame and wasted opportunity for the Imperial family.

timeon...agree. I believe the sound of slurping was audible for miles. Just like any weekday lunch at Yoshinoya.

"NO". If teaching an objective view of Japan's history, language, culture, etc. does not make the kids patriotic, then "teaching" patriotism is simply a waste of time. Sure, sing the national anthem every morning if that makes you feel good, but don't force someone to measure up to some standard…
