    Here it is in a nutshell people.

    In Yoyogi Park in central Tokyo, a park where children should be running around freely and having fun, they have designated 2 largish areas penned-off just for dogs to run around. One for big dogs and one for small dogs. And apart from…

    I have always been for NCAA players representing the US in the Olympics in both basketball and baseball. And I'm from England !

    Valentine is teaching them how to drag Nippon Yakyu into the modern world of pro-Baseball. There's nothing wrong with the talent here (just take a look at…

    Don't get me wrong. Life is generally good for me here. It is safer than back home and much much less petty crime. But the attitude towards non-Japanese, an attitude fuelled by their politicians and establishment, needs a kick up the backside. And it angers me to read that they…

    I disagree with Valentine's views on a MLB team for the Olympics, but I also totally disagree with pathat's rubbish post trying to discredit Valentine's current run in Japan.

    The US can put in a really decent Olympic team without the AllStars and it gives the chance for some decent…

    To be quite honest, the way this country's right-wing politicians and mainly xenophobic population thinks about the foreign community here, who gives a damn about their problems with their free-falling population ?

    If, as people are implying, the non-Japanese here get imprisoned even for self defence and for fighting back. Isn't it about time we used our consulates ? As an example, the guy who wrote this article could still report the incident to his embassy, to the police and to the…

    Personally, having lived here for over 8 years, I find this example a very rare one. There are plenty of idiots who will shove you around and walk through you on the trains and in the street, but actually laying into someone, especially a foreigner, is almost unheard of. I…

    Yet again, Japan Today has only produced a snippet of the actual full story. I have read this same story on a well-known UK news site this evening and the amazingly high number of hits is due to the fact that one click on most porn sites then produces automatic…

    Along with the demotion, he received a 20,000 yen monthly pay cut, Waki said.

    I might ask my boss if I pay Y20,000 a month can I look at porn 170,000 times a month..

    the crime was committed on impulse, the judge added.

    So why the heavy sentence ? The judge must have had sufficient evidence in court to have made that kind of statement about an impulse attack.
