Ahh the Japanese for-show-only apology.

The only thing they're sorry for is themselves, their decreased ratings and how this will affect themselves, and then feel sorry for themselves a bit more. How did we get into this mess? Oh yeah our leading lady was a reckless idiot who could have…

Somehow I don't think they would hire you to write the sumo updates.

Why not. They could use someone who actually watches the bouts.

...says students should be taught that there are differing opinions with South Korea over the uninhabited islets but that they are Japan’s territory

I thought this was a positive development, and an effort at compromise. Can't go all the way and say they are Korea's, way too much money at…

They are beginning to find their identity of being beautiful in the way they are.

Thousands of years of history but they are just starting to find their real identity, courtesy of our products. No need to thank us, just spend 50 thousand a month on being beautiful in the…

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. They are beginning to find their identity of being beautiful in the way they are. at 07:34 PM JST - 14th July

Hey this reporting kind of sucks.

ozeki Kaio was sent sprawling by komusubi Toyonoshima

Kaio was doing all the attacking and somehow managed to fall first while driving Toyonoshima out.

ozeki Chiyotaikai tossed aside Asasekiryu

Slapped down at the back of the head would be closer to what happened. Doesn't…

Celebrity Becky, 24, left, and Australian comedian Chad, right, attend an event...

Wait, how old is this knob Chad? Don't omit those kinds of important details.

I did read he's from Perth, a very comfortable but tad boring town, not unlike Adelaide. They're alright.

last-place Japan

Oh dear. Money can buy you a home-ground advantage but it doesn't look like it can buy your way up the rankings. And to finish under China of all countries.

Just give up already. What a piece of crap team.

I DO NOT see why Japanese people are so outraged by this type of information. The Love Hotel Business is flourishing. Do Japanese people think it is not?

Everybody knows it's there and what's going on. But they got caught. Then the media makes it a problem for their own…

Zabuton are generally, if not always, not thrown when an ozeki loses, and certainly at no time before the penultimate bout. Kotooshu lost fair and square in my worth-nothing opinion, just way to slow to get out there, kind of reminiscent of his many lethargic starts. Eat some more yoghurt…

I'd TOTALLY have an innocent discussion with her in a love hotel.. maybe 2 or 3 discussions.

According to the hotel floor plan they were showing on tv the only place you could have discussion would be on the double bed, as there is not much else in the rooms.…
