there's many 'easy' products to be used as bombs or poisoning gases...fertilizer ((NH4)2SO4), a little gasoline, a little aluminum, a little coal, and boom. However, you also need a terrorist to do the job...plenty of them in Japan, I guess...

1) Japan is not the 2on economy in the world any more, and is going down everyday 2) Japanese companies in stock market don't give dividends 3) Investing in Japan is giving free money to big corporations, don't have any decision power at all, expect they (or the Government) will do whatever they want with it (devaluations, fraud, bankruptcy, bribery) and get few or nothing in return, only the possible increase in value of the stocks. 4) Factual impossibility of direct investment in Japan, despite is done along middle companies, which will steal the line of business from the partner whenever the learn how to manage it, with total impunity and biased judicial system. Thats Japan!

I'd like to know how many Americans (for example) would know who was Hiro Hito or General Tojo...or something more easy, that the Magnificent Seven or High Noon are remakes of Japanese Movies (stories, in fact). Even Star Wars is a kind of samurai story...American public know about Nazis mostly because of Hollywood movies (everybody knows why). What about other fascist parties, like those in Italy or Spain, or the atrocities committed by Stalin in the Gulag, or the Turkish and the Armenian...Less in the media, less knowledge among the common people. Most probably even ignore the massacres in Nankin or others of the kind.

outdated uniforms for the children, ugly uniform for the obachan. I see where the bad taste, the love for uniforms (uniformity) and silly hats is born in Japan....

I don't like hip-hop, I don't like enka, therefor, I don't like Jero's style. Hip-hop + enka sounds a little like mixing flamenco and bagpipes: It has already been tried, but didn't success.

switch to olive oil and stop imitating tasteless Americans. BTW, where the heck use butter the Japanese? Another option is importation, but we all know that opening the markets to foreign uncontrolled products might cause a huge cataclysm in the Japanese economy, something called 'free trade'...

poor city, Osaka, which only symbol is this! I've eaten twice there. Any place is far better, despite it's pretty cheap.

jazz is like flamenco, something one gets in the cradle. I'm Spanish and I've listen some Japanese trying to sing flamenco or play the guitar like a real gypsy...they know the notes, they know the techniques and some tricks, but...the result is tasteless, bland, there's a lot lacking there. In flamenco is called 'duende' (spirit, the gnome), what makes your skin shiver and your hair pop up. Look like is not enough, it must be alive, and Japan is all the opposite: cold tamed appearance.

robots & humans can only co-exist in two situations: a) ultra controlled environments (like factories) b) ultra controlled behaviors (toys) In Japan, we have both. But this can only be useful in Japan: robotic people in a extremely control habitat. Robots are nothing more than tools, like a hammer or a coffee pot. Who on earth would let their children be taken care of by a coffee pot with wheels? Moreover, you put one of this with normal children (not squalid ultra-tamed versions of quasi-alive beings), and it's completely unassembled in 10min.

what's the definition of best? cheapest? cleanest? nicest? fastest?... for me, the best cars in the world are the Germans: robust, trusty, elegant, and up-to-date. Japanese cars are cheap in Japan, but expensive in Europe. They're just wannabes of the best European cars, but in a most modest version. Their reputation in Europe are much lower that it's supposed in Japan. American cars are disappointing and worthless. For me, the BEST is BMW.

not that big...in fact, it's just two regular size (Japanese equivalent for ultra-huge mega hyper big size) stacked one on the top of the other, with a chopstick to keep the set together. It's really a feeble idea, despite the burger seems pretty good, as most of cooking in Japan.

so much discipline and competition for what? what is the outcome? the gaudiest show on earth: a bunch of doubtful male impersonations dressed in the shabbiest and least credible way, recreating a completely misunderstood version of the "4 mousquetaires" or "marie antoinette". It would be if only bald fat guys in Uppsala had a theater company making viking versions of Japanese plays dressed in furry costumes and wearing horned helmets, while singing No classic plays in Swedish.

"36 secret strategies to understand the 36 secret strategies of the martial arts"... as many other things in eastern world, over dimensioned by westerners looking for the source of all philosophies. In a place where the wars were made using wood, canes, paper and knives, these puerile tactics of disguise and hiding on a roof sound a little too useless. The basic tactic in Japan is one: hiding and attacking at somebody's back. Only works once. Read history!

I tasted it: it's frappucciono + unknown jelly. The taste is double: frappucciono + unknown jelly, that is, the tastes doesn't mix since the jelly doesn't melt down. I don't see the point nor the interest. When takoyaki frappuccino?
