See.... This is what happens when you have a population of 120 million, that still believes they are the victims of ww2.... Why, do they believe this...? Because Japan hasn't been teaching REAL history... So you have an entire population of Japanese that hasn't a clue what their country did the last 100 years, how the rest of Asia suffered, because of Japan's war of aggression....
I don't even think it's the apology stuff so much any more, as it is for a population that needs to be educated, about what their country really did, and that they aren't anyone's victims, and they need to lose this culture of "Victim-Hood," lest, they are doomed to repeat it.... Those that do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat it... and next time, who-ever the victor's are in 20 or 30 years from now, probably the Chinese, might not be nice enough to allow any Japanese to survive...

I think it's so funny... These people that are so behind Hatoyama, and at one point (if still not today) were comparing Hatoyama's victory, akin to Obama election in the U.S.... Ridiculous....
There's absolutely no comparison, what-so-ever... Hatoyama was born with a silver-spoon in his mouth, he's pure-breed politician, mommy and daddy at every fork in the road to care for his every need.
Hatoyama, doesn't really know what he wants, all he knows is that he's not going to do anything the way the LDP did... Even without knowing why... Have fun...! I think it will be curious to see where he and his party are in another year... I'm betting it will be a repeat of the last time, some other party controlled japan, very very short-lived... I give him another year, or until the next election, he and his party will be "Day Old Pizza!"

New ground being broken everyday...
What should and what will actually happen...?
A) Do nothing, it was an act of God, or Shoganai that the students were bitten.
B) Send papers to the Prosecutor on the Farmer for Professional Negligence resulting in injury.
C) Students will file law suits against Farmer, who will pass it off to his insurance company, to compensate all the students for pain, suffering and medical bills. Farmer will be ticketed and fined for allowing dogs to roam unleashed, Dogs are taken away from Farmer and placed in kennel.
D) None of the above, but police charge several students with Illegal bicycle parking while on school grounds.

Not in my neck of the woods...
Many a Touch-Guy Yakuza 2-bit punk, have coward down, turned tail and ran away, like a little scared boy...
But maybe I'm just funny that way....!
I always seek out the Tough-Guy Yakuza's.... It's fun, when they have some getting in their face, they don't know what to do, shxx or go blind...But usually they just walk away, scared... ha ha ha ha... been there, done that... many times.... Still keeping my eyes peeled for someone up to the task, that doesn't sound like a Chihuahua, all bark, but no bite... ha ha ha...

Well, it looks like they are making improvements. But I thought this was just Japanese custom, when-ever nature calls, just pull up along side the road, or in his case, just wang it over the platform and let lose... At least he didn't try to molest any women, or steal some underwear. I'd call that an improvement.

I'd love to meet any one of these "Tough" guys...
Matter of fact I have 100,000 yen burning a hole in my pocket for any one of them that would like to take a swing at my always cold-sober, 30-mile running, 10 swimming wimpy little 160lbs 5'9" white guy frame.... They just put their heads down and walk away....
But no matter how many yakuza "tough-guy" thugs or drunk construction workers I approach at the dead night on isolated streets, with no- cameras around, I can't seem to get any of them to take the bait, I mean, take me up on my offer.... Komaru Nee.....!

Ha ha ha.... but couldn't you get into big trouble for posting portions of the JCop training manual online...?
Incidentally, something I did yesterday, just reminded me of part of question. I went into the bank to Furikomi my rent, and the old oyaji security guard follows me, from the other side of the room and stands behind me, peering over my shoulder, like he's trying to see who's account I'm accessing....
"Oh, Oh, Here's a foreigner, he must be up to no good, I better keep a good watch on him, he's probably using somebody's stolen card!"

You know this was totally uncalled for...
Everyone feels extreme sadness when innocent children are killed, by an adult who mad their choice to die for them, before they are even old enough to experience elementary school.
If you want kill yourself, Fine, but leave your innocent kids out of it.

Yea... And you really have to wonder, if the guy did it 50 times before... He had to have been stopped, at least a few times, if not 49 other times. And all those other times, the staff OR Police, just said..."Oh Well.. Don't Do It Again..." and they let him go... I would be willing to bet money on this...
BTW: Sukiya you pay on the way out. As someone has already noted, Matsuya has the Ticket Machines.

There's this general attitude in Japan that these kinds of things are OK... It's Like, "Hey.. I'm 21, nothing but a thing..."

No, you won't find any mention of anything the Japanese from around 1900 to, oh say, Aug 10th and 15th 1945. And neither do the kids growing up here today, it's unfortunate.

You have a point... But I've never had problems with Taxi driver's, they appear to be a bit more concerned about violating traffic laws... Those Bus driver's though... They are in a world of their own... I can't tell you how many times a bus has come up behind me, within literally inches of hitting me, with a whole highway worth of space to go around... I mean, If I would lost my footing, or even veered 5 or 6 cm to the right, I would got nailed. And it's not because they don't see you, I call it the "Ganko Principle." They feel so certain that the own that highway and that if you're on the road, it's your fault... There's no other way to explain it.... God help one of those guys, one of these days... By the grace of God, there go thee...

I don't know why everyone is bashing the pedestrians...
If they were really crossing on a RED light, then they got what they deserved....!
But in my short 25 years of living here in J-Land, I can tell you that JN drivers are some of the worst in world, especially when it comes to pedestrians... These fricken drivers think they own these fricken roads, and if you happen to be crossing, they will zoom by you, with little or no regard for the safety of the pedestrians... Especially fricken Bus Drivers.... Next time one of these fricken Oyaji's drives his 20 ton bus past me, so close that he brushes the hairs on my arm, when I running alongside of the road, you're going to read about "Bus Driver Pulled out from Bus and beaten to within Inch of life.."
No sympathy for people with lethal weapons (That's a motor vehicle for those that don't understand that term) Thinking they fricken own the road... If you are driving a Motor Vehicle, it's your responsibility to do everything you can do to avoid hitting pedestrians, if that means driving slower, and giving a wide birth around pedestrians, well, then that what you need to do..... It's not just common-sense, It's THE LAW!

Come on JT let's be relevant OK...?
Now "Shirokane resident" part is fine, but why is "company president" in the least bit relevant to this story...? Is he famous...? Did he hit these people in the performance of his JOB as President...? Other than those couple of reasons, his job title has no use, nor relevance in this story... (English 101)
No mention of alcohol here...? You hardly ever read of a guy moving down three pedestrians without the story involving alcohol or senility.
More RELEVANT details Please... JT...

As I have stated numerous times before, J-Clown-Cops have absolutely no reason to be armed! They never use them, even when the situation clearly calls for it, then use them to needlessly endanger the lives of innocent people by thoughtlessly firing warning shots.... The list goes on, and on, and on...
Would you give a loaded gun to your 5 year old son or daughter...?
Then why would you give a gun to a J-Cop...?
