    They want to kill anyone who isn't them. Any excuse will do. Race or religion isn't important to them. Just look at Iraq where they target "fellow muslims". They are condemned by the teachings of their own religion as murderers. No "peace talks" with them will succeed unless you offer complete surrender to them, which is unacceptable.

    Good on him and well done. As for those who think he'll be a flash in the pan, I wouldn't be so sure. Enka singers can tend to have long careers. It will depend on whether he can significantly catch that 40 to 60 year old female market, and that will need a good string of hits to get him started. I was talking to one 50-something lady and she loves him. A mix of that "he's so cute" factor with Japanese tradition. The ball, as they say, is in his court.

    Taka, you sell your soul, you gotta pay the piper. One book isn't gonna be enough, I'm afraid.

    I always wonder if these guys ever think about the damage they do to the institution they represent, or are they so caught up in their own little empire that they forget they are suppose to be representing the people who voted for them, not trying to deceive them.

    It makes sense. All that imported rice just sitting there was starting to cost the J-govt a fortune in storage. Giving away some of that nasty foreign rice will actually save them money. It wasn't that long ago they were developing ways to use the stuff to make plastics.

    Noborito, they stockpile all the foreign rice so they can sell the domestic stuff at higher prices, thus guaranteeing money in the pockets of farmers and votes at election time.
