Why banned the fun, it's festive time, let people have the fun. Tokyo will be most likely destroyed by natural disaster, not firecrackers.

Asia has no money for this mess started by the US and Britain, they should pay and Asian countries, esp Japan should use all possible financial resources to make its own economy stronger. To aid Myanmar, maybe, for some interests in the region...Palestine???!!!

I like this, it's more fun than video games, and/or chess for that matter : D China is just learning from Japan: I want to talk but on the other hand I have my entire force aiming at you. Locking target but not firing must be chouette and even cooler when you know the target detected that and got furious, again I like this :) poor embassadors of both sides, sympathy!

@Yubaru: "That is the problem, if students don't know their own history they are apt to repeat it somewhere in the future." what I worry about, as any wise Japanese would, is that the "forward-looking" education will actually be the root for future wars: it is painful to know that one's own race can commit some most inhuman crimes, but if that can save the race of the pain of wars, again, it's worth it. Imagine: Japan, China, Korea write their own textbooks, our children one day meet: Chinese and Korean are looking at "monsters", Japanese are wondering "why are they so hostile and don't trust me"? They don't know they can feel the pain and love of one another all the same...it's a shame what Japan did during the WWII, it's a deeper shame if Japan has no courage to admit the truth ( it's bloody, cruel, horrofied human hearts..but the truth), it will be genuinely a shame if any government cultivates the misunderstanding deeper and forster a future war - these people has no vision of forward-looking, they are indeed merely re-visioning of the past. @Avigator, what are you talking about??? 1923 earthquake? Why is it a massacre?

Just keep in mind that your counterpart also has obligation to protect their "beautiful seas" and that the same set of islands are their "our land", too.

Okinawa's "blue sea blue sky" will make much more money when the US military is gone. They should build casinos there, make it a Vegas island, it's more attractive "travel wise" than Macau and Singapore. China doesn't want Okinawa, it's a threat made up by the US to justify its presence there. And it's time for Japan to defend herself, for real, amend the constitution if necessary and re-build the economy because obviously defense spending is not going to be a cheap bill to pay, but the money collected from Japanese tax payers should not go into foreigners' pocket i.e. the US military who can't even behave themselves. Japan has to understand something foundamental: she can make more profits with her immediate neighbours, stand on her own feet and make peace with Korea and China > these three countries united economically is the only way that they are going to forget the pain of war and prosper altogether. Japan was a country of great courage and hope, with respect to honor...since when she became a puppet from a real lady in kimono???

Chinese male footballers s**k, that's why they need to import. Btw, not to encourage J-boys to go overseas but sushi chefs in Dusseldorf are good, won't miss home much there ;)

Not all Japanese women are after money and there are many Western women ( blond/ brunette/ redhead) are gold diggers, I don't think it's fair to frame a nationality and criticise.

Yeah, no more troops, just send more money to the two creditors, then you don't need to worry about the devaluation of Yen or Yuan.

@cabadaje, Japanese AND Chinese KNOW the US is VERY good at the game but we just think the US shouldn't set the playground in OUR seas. We all like fish and we want the fish to stay in East Asians' bowels, hence hands off, get back to Hawaii and we promise not to attack pearl harbour again ;)

Good question: whether the US has the right to give Japan the administrative rights over the Senkaku/Diaoyu?

I suddenly feel like having a pizza et watch the show... Chine owns them, Japan runs them, the USA either brokers a deal or shut up, simple and easy. Mr Hong's last comment is very interesting since Chinese people have never/ can never / should never trust the US, what's the point?!
