    Hiraizumi site misses out on UNESCO World Heritage listing

    The decision by the committee is deemed to reflect in part the policy of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to restrict new listings.

    Good.

    The policy may also impact recommendations or registrations of seven Japanese sites including Mt…

    12-year-old boy assaulted by knife-wielding man in Osaka

    It is just not that safe to walk around in public in Japan anymore. Ah, for the good ol` days of Safety Japan! I remember them well.

    She looks alright, seen better days.

    I have never quite understood the fascination so many guys had with MEGUMI. Other than her bustline, nothing stands out about her, and her eyes and nose look remarkably different than when she got into the bikini idol game.

    Anyway, I hope she has…

    Well it's my opinion that he "skipped out" on the big showdown with Kitajima.

    They will have their showdown in the 100m and, if the U.S. trials are anything to go by, Kitajima will definitely be the favorite.

    Such a shame for the USA.

    Let`s compare the medal counts at…

    Richard: If you are comparing her to other half-Japanese "talent", then maybe you have a point.

    soothsayer: Have you read his blog about the part where he calls Hansen mentally weak? He`d better hope he wins the 100m or he is going to look pretty stupid.

    I have great respect for Kitajimas ability as a swimmer. Lets hope that he can walk the walk next month…

    ‘‘It shouldn’t have been so difficult for a swimmer of his (Hansen’s) caliber to make the Olympic team.’’

    Hansen flopped, true, but what Kitajima fails to take into account is that there are often 3rd and th place swimmers at the U.S. Olympic trials who are better than other countries`…

    Ossan-I am sorry I did not color-code the end of my post for sarcasm.

    I was also criticizing Terrie Lloyd for writing a piece detailing what he obviously thought was an obscure bit of history when the story is available in detail in Bradley`s very popular book-as I mentioned previously.…

    Takuya Imai, 34, was arrested on one charge of rape and another charge of attempted rape on a train on the JR Tokaido line between Tokyo and Yokohama in March and April.

    So JR obviously thought it was okey dokey to keep this under wraps for a few months til…
