On a sincere note, the Koreans can be angry at the Japanese bureaucracy and politicians for making the whole repatriation process so agonizingly slow. They do this to any Japanese private individual who makes the effort to get anything done through the system. What's even more frustrating is the fact that these archives are just sitting somewhere in storage where they haven't seen the light of day. If it was such a cherished treasure that Japan doesn't want to give up so easily, it ought to have been on public display. Is Japan such a thieving douchebag that isn't able to appreciate the loot they stole? It certainly seems that way, regardless of whether or not the general Korean public themselves know its significance and the politicians are demanding them back for mainly the kicks. But hey, whoever appreciates their family heirlooms in the item itself? However, if your neighbor steals them you know you have a duty to get it back, or else you be damned by the spirits of your ancestors who probably acquired it out of whim while window shopping at some antique store.

This is only the tip of the iceberg and furthermore a softer part at that! there are reported cases of bullying where the victims are maimed and actively killed.
and yes I know the fact that icebergs don't appear in Lake Biwa.

Why not take them too? they are all descendants of Dongmyeong, the holy father of the Koreans. Surely, the current generation of Japanese would be committing theft as just-a-guy would probably agree if they continue to enthrone individuals who bear that sacred Korean lineage as "Japanese kings".

A natural predator in the wild being confined to a tank by man for his own amusement in exchange for guaranteed feed and medical attention?
and they say we don't have heart, but I'm sure that shark knows we do,it can hear the sound of our hearts pumping all that nutrient rich blood flowing through our bodies whenever we are in the water. That underwater Santa better watch out or else he'll end up as feed and the one needing medical attention.

My bad, I was just poking fun at the fact that old Tokyu Corp trains are still running on the line I mentioned. There are actual new and old Metro train sets running on it. You might see trains with strange liveries sometimes because of the tracking rights by other railroad companies.
I wonder if this new smartphone tool will be an effective tool to navigate the network. The Metro network seems complex for non-Tokyo residents like myself who don't use the tubes often.

Nope, totally missed out. Try operating the Hanzomon Line with actual Metro train sets?

So does the article, just look at how the location of Miyakejima and Taji in Japan is described. It would seem every place not Tokyo in Japan has to be referred by the distance away from Tokyo by foreigners.
He obviously wants Taji to turn their village into a tourist attraction for dolphin lovers, well guess what Ric, they would've preferred this relatively effortless venture if the returns were about the same if not better.

Although it is substantially true that Komuro's conviction destroyed much of the brighter future of the industry and if any shred of international esteem along with it, we still have Tsunku, Yasu Nakata and to a lesser extent Daisuke Assakura to maintain some form of composure in the market until a new genius can emerge, right guys?

Trying to establish the notion that 'there is no wrong to harming the aggressor's associates' from Japan's role in WWII is dangerous, do we want to give such precedent for Muslim extremists to base and justify attacks on American interests as retaliation for the invasion of Iraq? I cannot for I am not a double-standard setting bigot. Many coalition troops in Iraq lost their lives to cowardly and brutal tactics of partisans, but for me to find this acceptable just as you who find that mistreating Japanese POWs during WWII is excusable would mean to reduce myself to the very thing I hate. If you think I am trying to act superior: think again, this is nothing more than applying objective analysis.

The only occasion the GSDF can be put to use for defending Japan apart from missile defense and logistics is when the enemy makes landfall when our navy and air force are at the bottom of the ocean. Here's the irony: Tokyo will most likely surrender to the enemy in that circumstance, so the GSDF is useless for combat, unless of course they fight as partisans along with irregular volunteers, but this not what they are trained to do amongst others. Neither is the mounting of amphibious assaults against offshore interests, even reinforcing the defensive position of our continental allies is also out of the question and yet Japan has ample armor that are unfit for combat on the rugged or otherwise densely populated Japanese terrain.
There are so much inconsistencies between the strategic discipline of the GSDF and the nation's enduring 'pacifist' policies that makes me uncomfortable as a Japanese resident and taxpayer.

Totally, unless there's some element of quantum mechanics involved which is most likely.
