Posted in Since the end of the war, Japanese had been blindly following the Western standard of beauty and they tried so hard to imitate and look like Western models or actresses regardless of our physical differences. But in recent years, Japanese have stopped looking only outside and started looking inside again.

At last some sense about the pointless, meaningless farce that was the recent Hokkaido G8 meeting. It is nothing more than a rich man`s club, of has-been and never-were politicans. Abolish it - its not worth the paper its printed on. Oh - and perhaps we culd aboliosh that other…
