As always, already first post as I suspected would bring in total non issue of Nanking and other issues. This is solely about Hiroshima, nothing more and nothing less. The people and Mayor of Hiroshima have every right to remember and memorialize this. No one at the ceremony said anything…

Ping12, have you ever read People magazine? Or any news media outlet in other countries? It is normal for them to reveal a person's age, hardly unique to Japan. Anyways, I LOVED this movie, it was funny and touching at the same time. Definitely a great date movie, highly recommended.

I would say not. Japan is only a part of the geopolitical West when it suits the West for their own agendas, like war on terror or whatever. Everything else the West leaves Japan to fend for itself, i.e. territorial disputes, etc.

"Delay" huh? Cute, more like plausible denial or sweep under the rug type of thing.

Who knows, maybe it'll prevent those drivers (usually older) who cause their vehicles to launch forward and kill/maim people because they accidentally floor the gas pedal, thinking it's the brakes.
