Dont forget the White skin factor. Would this AD had been popular in Japan if instead of that white guy it was some ASIAN or AFRICAN guy? The creativity of AD is not so relevant so far as it has white skin guy in the AD.
I bet these shoes will sell like hot cakes in Japan.
The quality of shoes do not matter as people here would buy even POO of white guys.

136 Million is not enough and I would probably look for anywhere around 400 Million Yen. I would suggest to involve Ghana consulate member by giving him a cut of 10% of compensation. This way he can help the family to support and negotiate harder with the government.
This would have been an amount had the deceased been American or British. The American and British embassy guys are good to handle this type of situation as a result they always get higher compensation. The main reasons the family deserves this compensation is:
Bravo and I admire the guts and daring of the widow. Japanese widow. My only worry is will the family of deceased sustain the financial expenses to carry on this case. It costs big money to go to court, hire lawyers, translations and so on. If Ghanian family can sustain financially then they MUST file for bigger compensation.
Ghanian community must help to widow to sustain financially this legal process.

A-bomb was major milestone to stop the imperial army from infinite slaughtering, in and out of Japan. I think Japan deserved it. There were so many innocents who were treated as slaves, prostitues and the hands or legs were chopped off by the imperial army that even today counties in Asia (china, phillipines, australia, korea..and so on) do not accept Japanese from their heart..

There is no way Ichihashi will get death penalty. Ichihashi confessed and is sorry for what he did. Lawyers here know the rule of game on how to save the face of Japanese guy and not let him down especially when it comes to killing a gaijin. They have scripted the answers of Ichihashi and know the consequences.
Judges have enough reason to be soft on Ichihashi as he confessed. I guess he will get probably give 15 years life imprisonment. Nothing more nothing less. Let see in few days if I can guess this correctly...
Mr Editor: The ratio of male to female judges is not mentioned. Female judges would have soft corner as victim is women and would prefer to provide death penalty.

Truth is everyone want their share of pie ($$$). People spend their life to become politician so that they can get this piece of pie. Evem a small fraction of pie can help many generations of politicians. They wait for right opportunity to hit the trigger.
In current chaos there is big amount of money that's changing hands in form of relief, subsidies to people in affected areas. Its commen sense that whenever money changes hands there is middle person making % money. For last 2 months after earthquake it was between Kan and aides.
Now Ozawa and Tanigaki aides hope to get some piece of pie which they may be deprieved till now.
I pity on the people suffering. I also read that only 5% of the donation amounts received for earthquake relief fund is was dibursed till now as the local prefectures have no clue how, when and to whom disburse the donation amounts. If something is not done quickly to disburse this funds to people than funds are going to trickle to wrong policy makers..

In my experience and observation after living here for 15 years the reason women think of marriage now is simple:
Earthquake, disaster, insecurity is excuse and temporary phenomena. Its mainly economic reasons women are thinkinf of marriage now. Saying in Japanese goes "Onna no kokoro wa aki no sora you da". Its more obvious now.
