J-men need to learn more than that, at first maybe learn to be more well-mannered, learn that gropping women in trains is not right behavior and finally understand that a woman is not a thing. After that probably they could learn the meaning of "new" words like "love" and "beautyful". Of course, the lessons include some sensibilisation classes about their history, including the "Nanking Massacre" for example. The complete pack course includes a rubber doll to pratice the new words and attidudes.

Linux is for outsiders, Mac for pretentious. I like windows and i actually love Vista (Windows Media Player 11 is cool and better than the useless Itunes software), but i am really angry, because it took me time to learn how to use correctly Vista and now i have to learn something different again..., please give us some rest..., we dont need to change so quickly isnt it?, are we compiting or running against any other company?. So... please give us a break. And for the people complaining about Automatic Update and sily details like that... YOU CAN DISABLE THAT FUNCTION, if it bothers you, then maybe you should buy a manual or learn how to use your pc at first isnt it?.

The truth is:
Japan WILL NEVER HAVE A BAND AS ROLLING STONES, THE CLASH, THE SMITHS, RAMSTEIN, PULP, COCTEAU TWINS, JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, NEITHER PEOPLE LIKE MOBY, MORRISSEY... AND LOTS OF MORE..., the reason... it's simple, these people can create, have own brain to compose, to make own lyrics and found their own sound..., and opinion... but Japan is a big Xerox machine and they only make bad copies of duran duran, back street boys, britney and all that brainless rap/hip hop people..., then is easy to know... only buble gum and childish pop oriented to a lamb society, hungry to listen about cuteness and pretty things, meanwhile their freaks kill people in the streets... in conclusion, Japan needs stupid music to make their freaks relax and calm down... they dont need music to think, they need sedate their freaking neurotic people.

As i said before...
Hip hop...., this is no music, nobody can sing, nobody plays any instrument (in every country is the same, then no comments), we are talking only about gorgeous babes shaking their asses.

I do it, and i think it's not outdated, stupid or sexist. It is really hard to see a salary man giving his seat to an old, pregnant or handicaped women, I'm sorry to say this... but for me is unacceptable. Anyway, in another situation if i want to give my seat to a young lady, who maybe is tired... why not?..., maybe she could be more safe from chikans and perverts. Outadated?, stupid?, sexist?, so sorry dude... i was teached if you are men you are stronger than a woman..., why not to make a difference in a country where women are treated as second class citizens.

I agree with muniqui19.
At first almost all Japanese pop music sounds like females singing in the same way: waaaaaaaaaaaaa, wa wa wa wa waaaaaaaaaaaaa, wa wa wa wa waaa waaa waaa waa wawawawawawa, and thats all, most of them cute, but not ussually sexy. They dont have a Mariah Carey or Leona Lewis, because all want to sing as 7 years old girls (for example: YUKI), about Ayumi Hamasaki and Kumi Koda, they are little different of course, but they are mainstream and puppets of their companies, too much make up and not too much clothes, after they get 30's they will be "dead", about Hikaru Utada, maybe because she is a "real" songwritter, probably is one of the most acceptable, but never think you will listen songs like "You oughta know" of Alanis Morrisette, or any female vocalist like Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxie & the Banshees, because all must be cuteness, love and sugar.
The only female singer acceptable and important for me is Shiina Ringo, in the middle point between maistream and indie, but i'm so sorryi have to accept sometimes she abuses of the Waaaaa Waaaa Wa Wa Wa Waaa Wa... but her lyrics and style are the most valuable here, because she doesnt belongs to the "kawaii world".
About electronic music... forget the trance, because almost all sounds useful to play DDR or jump as idiot in para-para style, almost no one respectable DJ (and forget DJ OZMA, he is a moron, and i am sure he can't make a mix), then... no trance, drum and bass almost 0... only in the house/chill out scene you can find an interesting act like Kyoto Jazz Massive, but i am really sorry to say... dont expect to find a Little Louie Vega, Dimitri From Paris, Miguel Migs or Armin Van Buren... we have to be realistic. Maybe in Synth Pop (yes, Synth Pop)... it gets interesting if you hear something from SOFT BALLET, their first singles sound too much like depeche mode and camouflage, but their lately recordings are more original and you could say they've found their own sound.
About Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Gothic, Grunge, Punk... man, we are talking about Japan, do you think is it possible here, when the vocalist say "yoroshiku" and "arigatou" before and after playing, at this point we have to be cruel, but honest... only long hair, make up, makenting and leather clothes, thats all, thats all... any teenagers garage band in Seattle at the end of 90's, even Hanson or Jonas Brothers are more authentic and.... manly.
Hip hop...., this is no music, nobody can sing, nobody plays any instrument (in every country is the same, then no comments), we are talking only about gorgeous babes shaking their asses.
And about boy bans.... hahahahaha, please we are talking only about pretty-boy group look, whose use more make up than your girlfriend, dressed like hairdressers, dancing around and each one takes a turn saying a line or two, they sing a chorus, dance, repeat it all again, then please remember BOYS II MEN (THEY REALLY CAN SING!!!!) or N'Sync, ok i hate them, but one or two of them are pop mega-stars, one of the SMAP boys, could sing... alone... without using studio technology?... I GUESS NO... even about the lyrics... we are talking about more company puppets, then you wont never see a japanese version of George Michael (gay or not) singing something like "I want your sex" or somebody like Morrissey (absolutely impossible) or somebody like Iggy Pop singing "I want to be your dog".
Final balance... continue buying music from the same bands/artists you did before move to Japan and... try to go to Shimokitazawa, sometimes you can find a interesting indie band from Japan, and try to buy their home made album, because you wont see it never in HMV.

When you are going to understand that having three writing system is uncomfortable and a big barrier against integration with the rest of the world...

I am Catholic and my son (half western/half japanese) is catholic, meanwhile my wife is still keeping her traditional religion, when i talked to her abour our son's religion she was afraid about he could not visit shrines, i said "of course he can visit because is a part of her cultural heirness, but visit only as an historic or cultural building, but not like a religious place to pray or honor god, just like i do when i go there", she didnt found it as a problem, until she asked "ok, but what will happen when we are dead, we could not be buried together in a shrine, and could he pray for us there, could not?". At this point i didnt found a right answer, because at first i never thought about die and be buried in Japan, neither be buried in a shrine. Now i am thinking seriously about introduce my wife into catholicism, having in mind she is interested in how we celebrate Holy Week and Christmas.

So in one way they pretend to be a new version of the Roman Empire, so they pretend to be everywhere, looking everyone Non- maerican as barbarian..., good point about it is... as the Roma Empire fell down... they will too.

****Naruki Oni; If you can`t see the danger from the countris you must not know about their ambitions.
The US is the only country that can keep thm at bay, and keep the free states of Asia free. Us does this , to spread freedom and ensurepeace in Asia. Wow! What a generous country we are.
I am a total patriot buddy! Way to go USA!!!!
This is the most ridiculous and stupid commen i have read ever. Who gave americans the right to decide (help????!!!) wich country is in danger?, and who gave told them that they are the protector of the freedom of the world?. What freedom?. They are killing thousands of people in Irak, old people, children and women..., are they releasing them?.... II WW is over and Japan is not an american colony anymore, so why Japan should support american interests about China or the rest of Asia?, WITH OUR TAXES!!!. By the way everybody knows that the G.I's in american bases in Japan, most of them are ussually army's trash... all those that were trouble in other places, it means, anyway in case, they are no competent or responsable and its very easy to notice, always they do something stupid (being drunken, bothering women...). They should leave Japan... THEY MUST LEAVE JAPAN!!.

And we should notice ussually people in Japan don't have a personal point of view and own opinion about almost everything, then it's very predictible all members will follow the point of view of the member with strongest personality (if we can use this word for someone here).
