presto, I've been in Okinawa for a little while now, and in Mainland Japan for a few years before that. I recognize, what I consider, many of the celebraties here. And you know what, she really isn't all that special from where I sit. Who is she? Wait, I just…

sk4ek, no, it shouldn't. It seems like it should, if you're looking at it from the english point of view, but the hiragana for tobacco is たばこ、not とばこ.

Wow, I don't know what's worse, the fact that it wasn't being done, or the fact that it wasn't being done for five years before someone actually figured it out...

omarbabilon, yes religion often teaches morals. But, religion is also at the core of much of the world's strife. Middle east ring a bell? How about the crusades? Or the Spanish inquisition? These were caused by misguided beliefs in moral superiority in no small way by "religion". Japan does have…

Sad thing is, yesterday in Chatan in Okinawa, I saw an "Officer of the Law" standing outside the police box, as they often do when they are "observing", and he made this guy look straight anorexic! I would've taken a picture, but my phone takes pictures about as fast as…

Uh, williamsmith, it isn't western ideals in this case. It is JAPANESE LAWS AND BELIEFS! The west didn't force them to make these laws, nor did we make them enforce it. However, most of the free world has laws against, and moral convictions against these types of behaviors. But, you…

borscht, have you ever actually LISTENED to any of their songs? They have a lot of talent for writing, composing, and playing music. Now, their get-up's are a little (way over the line) out there, but that has nothing to do with their sound. Why only older bands? X Japan…

Or, there wasn't enough evidence. You know, kinda like the J-police discovered when they tried to charge them with it. Just because they were accused, doesn't mean they did it. I know, it also goes the other way, just because it was dropped, doesn't mean they didn't. However, all around,…
