Sounds like the Japanese have taken a page from the playbook of the Chinese fishermen who invade Korean and Japanese waters and fight off the respective coast guards with poles.

Given that he could be 1/4 Japanese he should have applied for a passport instead. :)

If he ignored the red crosswalk it seems he could have ingored the old git yelling about it.

I prefer the one about the Japanese embassy staff who went drinking instead of filing Japan's declaration of war, thus it became a sneak attack. :)

Although I don't know the facts, my bet is they were following each other too closely. One of my biggest gripes about driving in Japan is the large number of serial tailgaters. I often touch my brakes just enough to turn the brake lights on, not to slow down but to scare the shit of @$$hole who is 1 meter off my back bumper. Any driver needs at least 2 seconds to react to something happening in front of them, thus the faster a car is going, the more distance needed between that car and the car in front of it. My second biggest gripe is seeing little kids unsecured in the front seat with their faces pasted to the winshield.

Here we go. Police confiscate files so other agencies can't get the information. Nobody ever finds out the truth.

I betcha if we were allowed to investigate the former head of JR Central Japan we could find we could find some "connections" to organized crime. This is bullsh!t.

As said above, the facts of this bozo's background were conveniently left out in the Asashoryu case. Let's just cancel sumo altogether. The old gits who run it aren't worth their weight in salt.

In addition to a lot of flyjin frequenting this comment column, I see a lot of them also fit the definition of cryjin. FYI - A cryjin is a flyjin with thin skin and no sense of humor. :) And no, Mariko Sanchanta's article was not the first mention of flyjin. It was made up by a blogger, I don't know who, but possibly the guy who licensed flyjindotcom.
Posted in: Why did those foreigners who decided to leave Japan in the aftermath of the March 11 disaster come in for so much derision from some people who labeled them with words like 'flyjin?'

I saw this on the news. It looked like all of the people attending were female. Unfortunately they did not seem to be donating a lot, they had the camera on the box and while there were JPY 1000 notes being dropped there were also a lot just dropping 100 or 10 yen coins.
