    It's not that bad, I kind of like the taste. I've smelled cheese that is much worse than funa-zushi. You should try it first, you might enjoy it. I think the worst smelling fermented fish is surströmming. That's scary! The cans are bloated from the fermentation, and when opened the fish almost explodes out of the can. Haven't tasted it. I think the safest bet would be to go to a Swedish restaurant and give it a try...

    The fact that he is sleeping is not as disturbing as the fact that no one else bothered to show up!

    smithinjapan, I haven't seen repeated news about Ken Watanabe's win in the J Academy Awards, which are for the most part reported sparingly in the Japanese press. It is a non-event in Japan. The Oscars are a big event, even here, and like I wrote before, it will be interesting to see the reaction of the J-public. Maybe there will be some pressure for a change, and maybe with the Hatoyama government some changes will happen. Anything is possible.

    I'm sure that the Japanese media will cover this, the Wide Shows rarely pass up controversial stuff. It will be interesting to see how much it is covered. Even more interesting will be seeing the reaction of the Japanese public to the movie, and if they pressure for changes. Congrats to the makers of the film. In my opinion it's things like this that will bring about changes, not the things that the echo-terrorist SS are doing down under.

    Yeah, she is 36 years old, but very popular with young women in Japan. That is the demographic they are going for. Don't be fooled by age.

    This is an excellent move on the part of Disney. I'm glad they realized their mistake, though I wish they would have never stopped in the first place. One just has to look at the success of Miyazaki's films to realize that hand-drawn is the way to go. Pixar and computer generated animation has its place too, but the traditional hand-drawn Disney animations are great.

    The J-League needs something. It can't hurt. She is an airhead, but kinda cute.

    He already made his singing debut on the East coast. He sang at the DC cherry blossom festival, and his alma mater the University of Pittsburgh. This is his singing debut on the West coast, and his first official tour of the States. I don't think it means he's trying to make it in the US. He is just doing a tour to sing for his fans in the States. Good luck to him.

    motogaijin, I think that has happened several times before. I believe 7-11 Japan is doing much better than the original 7-11. Mister Donuts is big in Japan, but I believe gone from the States. Also can't forget Tower Records. But there are many examples of chains that didn't make it here too. Just down to who has better management I guess. Wish they would open a Krispy Kreme in Hiroshima, but that's like wishing for a burger King in Hiroshima. There was a BK here, when they originally came to Japan. There was a Taco Time too...

    LostinNagoya, you are right, elegance is a perfect word to describe her.

    Don't know why people are complaining about the coverage being focused on the events the Japanese are taking part in. It is frustrating, but after all this is Japan. It is unfortunate that Japan is no longer in the running for the curling gold, because as someone pointed out, we may not be able see the rest of the competition. Only highlights on the news. We will be guaranteed more than full coverage of the women's figure skating though....

    The reason I said it will be interesting to see how this plays out, is because I also don't see the international law that Japan has broken. What are Australia and New Zealand going to base their arguments on? Just wondering. Also, I believe that the meat that is left over after doing the research is sold, but I also believe that Japan is required to make use of it in accordance with IWC regulations. Can anyone clarify that?

    Too bad about Oda. I guess his laces broke. Regarding Plushenko, he is a great jumper, doing the quad-triple combination, but the competition is figure skating. Gotta be artistic too. Congratulations to all three of them. Looking forward to the ladies' competition.

    TokyoXtreme, the windows are probably sliding windows, which I see in a lot of the schools, even elementary. These windows are probably open during the sultry summer months, because a lot of schools don't have air conditioners. I agree that they should be made so that no one can get out on the ledge, but there are so many things regarding the construction of Japanese schools that are accidents waiting to happen.

    Curling is great. It does take a lot of skill to do it. Have you even watched a match in its entirety? The USA v Japan game was really exciting. If we have to select one sport to drop, I'd say the biathlon. Skiing and shooting? Though I have to admit I enjoy watching it.

    So she's cheating because a sticker wasn't on her sled. Give me a break. It was an oversight that her coach or equipment people and ultimately herself should have caught. Too bad to get all the way to the Olympics and have your dream destroyed by a sticker. Ganbarre Nozomi.
