15 times in 36 months. No question, a real serious issue.

If Hatoyama has a clear strategy on Futenma/U.S. relations, or virtually anything else for that matter, can someone please enlighten me on it? It is almost unbelievable that the world's second largest economy could be so completely directionless, on almost every major issue -- foreign affairs, tax policy, pension reform,…

Arrogant SOB if you act me. He only made about JPY 335,000,000 in the ten years before 2004, so how in the world did he manage to have "saved" JPY 400,000,000? Japanese folks are ranked top in the world in their math capabilities, so he must know that they see…

Talk about lame -- she got divorced, so she can relate to "Prison Break"????? Someone please assure me that Japanese consumers are not that dumb, that even they laugh at such utter nonsense.

52.3% represents "the will of the people"? Hardly a mandate. In fact, if my math is correct, if about 800 folks had voted for the other candidate, Hataoyama would have to be singing a different tune. 800 folks in one tiny little town dictate defense/foreign policy. No wonder this country…

Hatoyama must not have read today's paper. The Daily Yomiuri is reporting that one of the guys arrested over the weekend has told investigators that he specifically told Ozawa that he was going to leave the JPY 400,000,000 out of the 2004 report, and that Ozawa approved it. They say…

Can one of you anti-U.S. ranters please explain to me how having Japan responsible for its own defense is going to make the noise problems at these bases substantially less? One would assume that the Japan SDF folks would need to perform the same drills, etc. that the U.S. does.…

Hardly worth commenting on, as it was totally predictable. This is the same "enlightened" mentality that caused Japan to rank 98th in the World Economic Forum's annual survey of economic opportunities for women released last week. Racism and sexism are deeply rooted here and will never truly fade, at least…

I hope for Japan's sake that Daigo is not truly "representing the men" here. But, then again, there are a lot of guys seemingly copying his look. Is there no end to the fascination with the fleeting here?

I admit that I'm pretty slow sometimes, but did the article mention who the father is and any information on their relationship? Or are we just all supposed to know that?
