Mr. James is disgusting. The kind of "happy face" harmless gaijin that the Japanese love to drag out and chuckle at behind our backs.

The fact is that he is being used as a shill for Bic Macs and the big meat farming factory industry worldwide---the source of more emmissions…

Mercury poisoning is one…

Nishimura is a rich pachinko king and yet gambled and saddled himself with the awful Uno Kanda. What could have caused him to marry her? Celebrity? She is such a self-centered cretin--she never had any room for giving to another in her heart.

In the last year I have read of several cases where busy parents have forgotten to drop off their babies at the daycare center and left them to roast in the parking lot of their workplaces. In one of the cases, it was a Japanese guy whose wife called him…

First went to Kabukicho back in September, 1967. When I was a student. I didn't think it was dangerous then, nor does it seem particularly so all these years later.

I was, however, overcharged "borareta" when I made the mistake of wandering into a "cabaret" with a couple of friends.…

’’ Yasuoka said at that time, citing an opinion poll that showed more than 80 percent of Japanese people support the death penalty." And 90% of the rest of the civilized world are opposed to capital punishment. Ask that innocent prisoner what she thinks of the opinion poll as she…

What is so difficult about this case? If Roho and Hakurozan were fed pot onigiri or marijuana sushi at a party in Azabudai or Roppongi, and they didn't even know it, how can the JSA not reinstate them??? Somehow, most of the people commenting are assuming "smoking" reefer. Not even…

If they had an attorney with a lick of sense, he would have argued their unassailable defense, i.e., that they perhaps inadvertently and unknowingly EATEN cannibis in their food. And then the lawyer would have called in an expert witness on hemp, Chis Conrad, to testify. Thereby, not only defending…
