Was there evidence that he got his end in at least one last time? If not I'm gonna say this. Loser!!

I think you mean losers. Thus the point of their suicide pact I imagine. Truly a sad comment on life isn't it?

I believe that as usual, JT has not really given us the full story. I really doubt that the police would take time out of their schedule to arrest someone for following behind a girl with a skirt. We've all been there and whether or not this guy was looking…

Bicycles follow the same rules of the road as cars. As far as I know, it's not required for a car owner to get out and cross the road by foot.

There are still no details as to what occurred and it's a bit presumptuous, not to mention ageist, to…

How about the working conditions in Japan tend to lean towards overworking all employees until they are stressed out.

If a person doesn't have to work, then they probably won't (in those conditions at least). Not everyone loves their job.

If Japan truly wants to increase it's work force, then…

For those people that don't think graffiti is a big deal, how would you like it if you just bought a shiny new car and someone did the same thing to your car? Perhaps some wouldn't care (as long as the graffiti was 'cool', but you have no CHOICE as…

Huh? Do they have ice packs inserted into them or something? How do they work? More importantly, DO they work. Lastly, IF they do work, where the heck can I get a pair if I live in Southern Japan far far away from Tokyo!

I don't really think it's fair to suggest that Japanese men don't have the chutzpah to deal with this situation as there are several things that you are automatically assuming.

First, you're assuming that the women actually have boyfriends, or husbands. You don't know that. Maybe this guy only targeted…

As much as it seems to make sense at first (that being a celebrity you have to take incidents like this in stride) I have to say that there should be some sort of line drawn even for (or especially for) famous people.

YES, they consent to having their photos…
