Most of you with negative comments on this really have way too much time on your hands. Do you really think that the grand parent would intentionlly place his grand children in harms way? it's a freak accident. I'm sure that this grand father has lived in that home for many many years and is fully aware of the dangers of snow. You can't blame the emergency services either, this is the by product of resource poor areas of Japan. This area is not like Tokyo or Osaka where one would hope for a quick response. Feel free to read this article about how rural Japan is struggling: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-06/hula-girls-revive-quake-hit-fukushima-town.html It's pretty bad and will get even worse for this towns/villages. Again, freak and very tragic accident. My condolences to the family.

Elduba:

What do you mean by very dead? I am stumped.

Very dead is just a figure of speech.

Excellent and promising, good luck to those that get hired. This is what Japan needs to thrive and survive.

Yubaru, Good point (the wear and tear of a MLB season). Traveling within Japan easy compared to say, having a 4 game set in Seattle then having to say fly overnight to TB for another 4 games ect.

He's not even thrown a pitch in the Majors and he's getting paid just as much as the best in the US. It's a big risk Tex are taking.

But look at the publicity this has already generated in Japan. Every kid will be wearing Darvish jersey and cap.

smithinjapan ... both games boston vs. A's at Tokyo dome in 2008 were SOLD OUT. Exihibition game between boston/oakland vs. giants/tigers too nearly sold out. great games, great atmosphere. this should be another great series. this isn't a gimmick, its the real deal.

Cleo, Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure JT failure to mention stun grenades thrown at SS was just an 'oversight' wink wink .. nod nod.

Lethal research must end now. This loophole must be corrected. I am ashamed to call myself Japanese ... we are a nation governed by hypocrites.

By Japanese law, when does a missing person turn presumed dead? I'm sure there are countless number of families out there that would like closure and settle matters like insurance, inheritence, ect?

Regardless of financial terms this should be a done deal no? Darvish did say before "It's not about the money"?

I would claim drunkenness and not wanting to be rescued.

I guess you've never read the disclaimer on back of ski ticket prohibiting those under the influence of alcohol?
