    Oh, yes, the U.S, Marines have totally and completely conquested the Japanese on Okinawa!

    not sure if he's concurring or is ignorantly sarcastic.

    LOL, Japan is protesting and planning to waste time finding cute names for some islands (see separate story), and China is drilling. Does anyone really need any more indication of where the power in Asia now resides? Get used to being an also-ran, Japan. Protest all you want. Even make meaningless threats if you will. But China knows that the Japanese economy is way too dependent on trade with China, so they hold all the cards.

    You make an interesting point because if you look back in history, the early Yamato princes crowned themselves Emperor in direct challenge against the Chinese emperors' assertion of hegemony over Japan. In doing so Japan lost so much trade rights with the China and her suzerain states.

    The only westerners interested in asian music would be those westerners who also happen to be asian. And maybe a few anime/manga nerds - but that's about it!!

    So true, The appreciative gulf between Eastern and Western music seems to be crossable by only those who are ...quirky. You can find that most Japanese who listen to western pop music are somewhat unstable. Even worse, those teenagers or 20 somethings who listen to English speaking indie music are sure to have identity disorders and exhibit anti-social behaviour.

    Here we go again! Stupid cold islands in the middle of no where with more sheep than human citizens, call them the Falklands, call the Las Malvinas, what ever you want, but I do hope the UK and Argentina do not go at it again, oil??

    It's like New Zealand with importance

    I agree with Netninja is it wrong to take up the courage to defile the graves of soldiers that fought against their own country in contempt? or fire bomb the embassy of their nation? Who ever says otherwise is a pathetic liberal.

    The F-35B's STOVL capability was the only appealing feature of the jet, and Japan refused to get that one..

    WHY?

    Silly me, God has no place in science.

    But why does the idea of bringing back extinct species to life seem to somehow grossly disturbs the course of life on this planet? It's like trying to hop onto a different track of reality permanently.

    What's the point?

    To show the world how inflated their God complex is?

    Edano says Japan's corporate governance on par with U.S.

    Why does he say it like it's a good thing?

    So I guess in your way of thinking it's justifiable to say what ever one wants to based upon where the people in question live or what their ethnicity is? No need to apologize for being arrogant and crass.

    In his defense, a disproportionate number of US Forces in Japan continue to be stationed on that one island with the consent of the Yamato electorates at large.

    Now, the Okinawans could declare independence or petition for new terms of federacy/union with Japan but they don't.

    In their defense, these dramas are crap. But the few J-doramas that the studios here still manage to produce on a shoe string budget are worse, if not, just as terrible. I avoided this year's Taiga drama altogether, the same choice I should've made with that Antarctic expedition show with that Smap hack on Sundays, it looks like a bad high school stage play.

    BTW, is that a guy cosplaying as a Vocaloid?

    I'm glad they are OK

    But they got lucky.

    From the details of the ordeal, it seems the brave pair did not have a mobile phone or cell signal coverage. Wow this is amazing, because a typical Japanese on the mainland would most surely fall into a coma as soon as they become separated from their mobile phones or receive a cell signal strength of 2 bars or less. "I have been severed from the collective [mailing friends], I guess I don't have anything to do now than shut myself down!"
