It's an historic and charming building and I've seen the kabuki there many times. The facilities are no worse than the modern "Kokusai Forum" in Yurakucho (an ugly venue with poor design inside) and certainly not as bad as the developers are trying to make out. Still, the construction industry…

From my understanding the origins of blood-type-determining-character theories are in eugenics and Nazi medicine; the different blood type profiles of Jewish and other ethnic groups were supposed to be 'proof' of their inferiority to the 'Aryan' race.

If my memory serves me correctly the theory became popular in Japan after…

This housing complex is just a few minutes down the road from where I live. Makes one wonder about the neighbours sometimes.

I once saw a chap in my local Akafudado doing his grocery shopping wearing high heels, a rather revealing one-piece dress, a cute little hat and a day's stubble. He wasn't bothering anyone; and he paid up at the till.

Bushlover, I read an article on the Tokyo Shinbun website, there is media other than JT out there. He became a hikikomori, buys a knife online, deliberately attacks his father while he sleeps. What's your explanation, 'Because it's in Saitama'?
