So silly. Mega-crimes underground, and the police focus on bicycles? Ridiculous. That's like a cancer patient getting treated for acne.

What a waste - gives me a sick feeling in my stomach. Roads in Japan are so dangerous, sharing narrow spaces with cars, bikes, pedestrian.

Sadly I think this number is going to be sky high. And the 119,891 not going to school were likely bullied too.
Despite all the great positive aspects, J-schools still need a lot of basic overhauling.

Most of my seniors have already given up job hunting. They see it as hopeless. I can't blame them.

I love it! We live in a country where the only crime story in the paper today is a bike theft. Can't beat it.

So sweet to read, especially after the Sapporo sisters story. And happy to see they still enjoy beer! Gives me hope.

This is the most positive sign I've seen in the political arena in the last few years. Female, young, educated outside the stultifying J-education system. Now, in another 75 years we may get some real progress.
