This 'you must produce a male heir' pressure harks back to the time of Henry VIII in the 1500's. At least you aren't allowed to behead your wife for not having a boy these days.

He works in Namja Town in Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, I think, or it's the same company.

Just another pair of dismal, talentless posers, the kind that the Japanese public like, and that advertisers think will sell the product. Clowns.

Isn't he a 'Major League baseball star'? I am not a fan of baseball, but this must mean he has some talent?

The mishap occurred near Kitakarasuyama in Tokyo’s Setagaya Ward at about 8:40 p.m. The truck’s driver, who appeared to be in his 60s, died soon after the accident

I think this constitutes more than a 'mishap', the driver died.

Fashion insiders think the ideal for young girls will be the “bitchy” type, not the cutesy woman that guys expect.

Is "bitchy" another way of saying assertive? As opposed to the "cutsey", giggley, I need to have a boyfriend by Christmas type, that guys expect now.

I think worrying too much about getting sick is probably bad for your immune system...

Apsara I whole-heartedly agree with you - I have never had flu and though obviously there will be times when you become infected and cannot avoid it, I think that believing you won't get sick…

Maybe this fixation with illuminations has something to do with Japan coming second in the the list of countries apparently not doing enough to combat gobal warming!
