Maybe tattoos would help the Japanese! They need all the help they can get, especially a new coach.

Oil prices dropping but JAL & ANA raising fuel surcharges - typical grab the money while they can. Did the surcharges ever go down after the big rise in oil prices and then dropped substantially - nope! But now with a small fluctuation in oil prices, JAL & ANA take it upon themselves to grab more money. Greedy, blood sucking!

And a comment must be made on the stare-down that the Japanese give, especially Hirano. Reminds me of a little kid not getting her way.

2.8M yen is 26K USD for the yokozunas. 1M yen is 9.5K USD for the Juryo division. This is per month according to the article. That's big money! Do they contribute to their stables upkeep? Or are the stables subsidized by the sumo association. And the 1B yen of the profit of the association last year is kinda crazy!

At the same time both ANA and JAL are announcing record profits! Sure seems like they're taking advantage of the situation to rip off the people.
Posted in: As fuel prices continue to rise, the fuel surcharge on airfares is also increasing. What's your view on the issue?

My brother-in-law (he used to work for Pan Am) told me years ago that airlines should stop painting planes. Besides the cost of the paint, it adds hundreds of pound of weight to the plane itself.

I dunno about the money aspect, but most insurance policies, at least in the U.S., don't pay off on suicides.

Maybe ¥100,000 for the computer (that's really being generous considering what you can get from Dell in the US today) and ¥50,000 for the Hello Kitty adornments. What a rip off and the Japanese will eat it up!

He will be a lonely white boy in the Halawa CCC prison. They "love" these types there. It'll be a "fun" life for him.
