More sad news from a society falling apart. I wonder if this guy did this becuase his brain was partially fried by the radiation leaking from the nearby Tokai Mura Nuclear Station?

This dress may be "worth a billion yes" (sic) but it looks like a bundle of garbage. Together with the wierd hairstyle and the tacky-;looking Merc, she really is a sight for sore eyes. Pathetic. Japan at its worst.

The suicide rate is Japan is a tragic, needless loss of human life. In the Tokyo area there are at least 10 "jinshinjiko" every week - sometimes 4 a day - yet the mass media, and the J Government, ignore it - it doesnt often make news any more. As…

Narita is a nice airport - much better than either Heathrow (Thief Row) and certainly much superior to the dirty hole that is CDG Paris, with its rude and overbearing security staff. However, it is just too far from Tokyo and way to inconvenient. Haneda is by far the better…

Tokyo is indeed a concrete jungle - it has far less greenery than any other major city in the world. The policy seems to be, "there`s some space - lets build something on it!" As for the mythological idea that Japanese people in general love nature - sorry, but what…

iPhone is just a passing fad . . . I pity the poor folks who queued for days to buy something that really isnt much good, compared to your typical Japanese cellphone. Softbank are already ripping me off . . so I am thinking seriously of changing to Docomo. Its…

Surely the act of adultery is nothing to do with one`s occupation as a TV "anchor?" Adultery is adultery, and nothing whatsoever to do with position. Sin is still sin.
