I think the Subways and rail systems are second to none in the world! But that doesn't mean its perfect. there is a lot they could improve on. -More wheelchair and Stroller access for starters. -Maybe a surcharge for Peak Rush Hour. -Late night train service! with surcharge of course. but that will never happen as the Taxi Union will not let that happen. -Find a way so no one can jump in front of incoming trains! The Japanese solution to preventing suicide by trains is to fine the Family of the deceased. that makes no sense.... -more SIGNS IN ENGLISH!

Most Japanese people don't care about bicycle maintenance, buy use throw away & get a new one. is how they think with bikes. even these ones. They will use it for 2-3 years and then buy a new one. no need to replace a battery if 2 years is all they expect. No need to make it cheaper, cause they buy them anyways. Why isn't the product name included in this article?? makes no sense.

I can't believe 736 people really think the US government had nothing to with 9/11.....

This whole SAKAI NORIKO thing is a joke. A famous star having a party lifestyle and doing drugs.... big deal, that's what they all do. I can't figure out why they can't just let it go. (Japanese Public & Media) Every big name in Hollywood is around that type of atmosphere every day, no one bats an eye. but here its the end of the world..... too bad she got caught.

I don't see the DS LL having any real sales.... Who's gonna share a game with other family members?? I just don't see that as a major selling point. If it had WiFi internet browser capabilities or something like that I could understand, But its just a DS thats bigger.... I haven't used my DS since I got an iPhone. Nintendo will continue to lose money as long as they don't figure out how to stop the piracy of its DS games. Every second DS console I see on the train has a R4 chip.....

I think the trains should charge double after hours. This should offset the less numbers and higher pay that they would have to pay the Night Shift workers. The Taxi drivers can go to hell. they are the worst drivers and they sit all day in their cars while their engines keep running They should enforce the idling law with them....

Sweet victory for Samurai Japan!! Korea may have put up a small flag on the pitchers mound but the in the end Samurai Japan put up the big flag on Doger stadium, well done! What a great baseball Game! I think this WBC will open the door for more Korean talent to get into the MLB. With Korean and Japanese Baseball as strong as they were, I don't think the Americans can call Baseball "Their Game".

Puckey2 How many days were yo sleeping for?? nylex4 I know what you mean, I never watch baseball as well, but this was a great entertaining game / series. spudman Ichiro is just one man on a team, the Mariners need more talent to win. Ichiro and Jo-Jima need alittle more help over there. MKinLA A salute to asian baseball.WBC2009 showed the world the Asian baseball power!
