It was most likely Salvia its popular here (U.S.) in headshops and it will make you trip your ass off. Plus there is no regulation whatsoever about the crap they put in it so there is no telling what they were smoking.

NINJA DAVE HOW lame you are, obviously on the FAR side of FUN! Love hotels rock! I spent the better part of my 20's in Japan , maybe you have to be young? If Japan's love hotels were to die out it would be a seriously SAD situation as they are a very unique part of it's society nowhere else on earth has such imagination been used to create a place for love so ....

Sherrif I disagree they are not saying that they will let criminals who commit crimes AFTER this type of tragedy go, it is a case of non-violent- non-dangerous people who were ALREADY incarcerated, not those committing the extremely heinous act of looting at times of tragedy that were let go. I don't believe this would lead anyone to think "oh they won't do anything if I loot"

PPayne, I have to disagree with you, America did TONS for Haiti as well, still is, and the scope of the Japanese difficulties are much more difficult.

bad guess anglootaku ... he IS helping by creating the net book that's proceeds will go to the red cross. We here in Austin Texas have been doing bake sales, and fund raising since it happened. What have YOU done?

lethroaway he said HE PUNCHED him because he didn't TIDY UP! How can you talk about snapping? he wasn't crying or screaming. a 2 year old does not have the mental capacity to understand tidying up . I wish this guy would have to go to an American prison where prison justice would prevail for him.

Well since I am only a halfbreed I cannot speak for all tribes but personally I find it both offensive and a form of homage. Flattering no. More like someone has so little talent that they can't find anything new of their own so they have to dig up the 70's again when everyone was jumping on our tribal band wagon.

I meant I don't think suicide of students has increased so much NOT suicide in the overall population. That has DEFINITELY increased.

This has been going on a lot longer than 10 years. I was first in Japan in 1982 and the pressure was just as bad then. I would like to see the suicide numbers. I don't think there are more. I just think that media has increased.

LOVE HOTELS = LOVE ..... PERIOD. So sexy to ride up on a harley with your boyfriend and peruse all the lit up room boards to decide which room is right for you - FUN!!! and you've got to admit some are downright hilarious, like the one in Wakayama shi with a huge Santa Claus on top!

yes this picture does seem very reminiscent of the shining but just FYI did you know that the shining was shot in the middle of summer? Kubrick did a great job of making you feel the cold considering it was 90 degrees.

It is a sad thing to see Sumo the way it is now. When the great Chiyonofuji was wrestling it was a beautiful and very popular sport. Perhaps it has declined in popularity as strong Japanese sumo wrestlers have declined and been replaced by foreigners, thus weakening the Japanese identity with their only purely National sport?

Guess You all don't know the Japanese history of Shinjuu romantic suicide performed by couples. Most famously written about by Chikamatsu in the 1700's in his play Sonezaki Shinjuu. It was usually performed by those forbidden to love one another by society, class etc....

I remember the Almond from 1982 and always being able to orient myself by it and know my way to the Marine's barracks up the street, as for too many Gaijin's in Roppongi GET OVER IT! that's like saying there are too many Chinese in Chinatown San Francisco, Japan is Japan but there will always be a place for the respectful gaijin that loves Japan to be able to share in and enjoy the country I love so much! I only got to live in Japan for 6 years but I go back every chance I get.

@SIMONFOX The Bush administration actually changed the usage of the term GLOBAL WARMING to CLIMATE CHANGE in order to lessen the concern of American's when he wouldn't sign the Kyoto Protocol. So if you are making up caca that the supposed 'HOAXSTERS' are saying get it right.
