I've been flying jetstar Narita to the Gold Coast about 2 or 3 times a year for the past 6 or so years (when ever they started that route) saved thousands of dollars and maybe been delayed 30mins max. (once or twice maybe).
example, I have a flight in June cost me about $500 return, try that on another airline...
In Australia I often fly jetstar Gold Coast to Sydney for about $90 one way, However, this being Japan and JAL with their fingers in the pie, I would be very surprised if they can do Narita to Okinawa for a similar price.
release the prices already jetstar!

with the amount of power co. money loss involved I find it very hard to imagine power companies will not get their wishes (aka bribes) granted.
I still predict it will take at least one more Fukishima scale fubar for things to change in Japan.

well, I know a lot of people in Kanagawa that are feeling the pinch directly due to the accident at Fukushima (aka the power company greed)
moving factory etc to China : maybe this is due to the fact they can make a lot more money paying kids to work in China?

imagine SB executives had to take a pay cut for their shoddy network, pretty soon they would be paying to work :)
I just spent a few days in Hakuba, up there SB network is shocking, but not as bad as Shonan !

we could maybe let the Japanese "research" all whales to death ?
out of curiosity, check http://icrwhale.org/Research_results.html (warning: you may laugh your self to death, as this website they put up is a complete joke.)
and doesn't look like they published anything from 2011 "research"
nice, chow down on some "research byproducts", I wonder what the profits of this company are...

with the number of vacant offices in Tamachi area, I don't think this is going to help any business other than the one that makes the station, complete waste of money

Edano, save us the time and tears, just pass a bill to give tepco 1 trillion yen a month (1/2 for their bonuses), and the 1st born child of every family in Japan for the next 40 years (for "research" - whaling style)

these guys offer the best exchange rates, and transfer fee is not that much either.
I used HIS a few times, but as I now mostly go to / from Australia I just buy tickets off the Jetstar website, wish more airlines were online like this.

if a company hires over 60 year old FT, the gov will pay (one time payment) about 950,000 yen to the company, it's about half that for PT up to 20hrs / week.
a few over 60 year old Japanese are working at my company, they have way more skills than 20 - 30 year old , I'd hire more over 60's any day!
