WHATTTT? You mean if there were a large quake that schools would collapse just as they did in...in...in CHINA??? But the Japanese media villified the Chinese over that, right! So, this can't be true! What renegade is pushing this obviously fabricated story? There must be North Korean spies in the…

Aso Taro: fanning the flames of militarism. This is a dangerous game that Japan does not know how to play. Has anyone ever seen the Hidaka Report? Just pure militarism, several times a year, on tax-funded NHK. Just this past Sunday he was cozying up to the commander of the…

Like the iPhone, hate the fact that SOFTBANK has it wrapped up in an extortionist exclusive deal. I'd have one but for the fact that unlike any other phone in Japan, emails to the iPhone count as data transfer (SO THEY CAN CHARGE YOU FOR IT) I still have my…

At 3 million yen, we really needs to be asking "Is Mistsubishi ready?" This will not sell. Ever wonder why the Aso government is not offering tax incentives to consumers for buying "green technology" cars, as do the governments in 1st world countries? The answer is in the fact that…

If you ask any Russian about this they laugh, and rightly so. There is only an issue with this inside Japan. No partnership needed, the Russians have things firmly in hand, thank you.
