Agree with smithinjapan, castration will stop the urge, and jail time will give him time to think about what he did.

I am a bit confused about the jury system in Japan. I thought they would determine if the person was guilty or not, and the judge would determine the…

Couldn't they argue that by using their photos the magazine gives the impression that Pink Lady agrees with and approves of the article's content? I would say that this is a bad decision by the judge. Pink Lady are great, even though their US show was crap.

Cicada, that is really an inane statement. Some people don't have a choice in the matter, and take any job they can get. Having worked in a restaurant, I know that tips really help make ends meet sometimes. Tipping in the US does seem high, but I do tip for…

She has been sucked into the world of tarento, and I say she should milk it for all she can get from it. She is a successful manga artist, has been since 2006. Between doing the goofy tarento stuff, she draws her comics.

I also really enjoy the architecture of Japanese castles. I remember my biggest shock when I first visited Japan as a child. We went to Osaka Castle, my first castle. I was awe-struck right up until we went inside and saw the carpeting and the elevator. Of course it was…

Am I the only one who was reminded of the Bionic Man when reading the headline? It's amazing how technology is advancing so quickly. I look forward to a day when hard drives will have no moving parts, and be economically feasible. It really bites when a hard drive dies.…

With the mood of change and "Yes, we can!", from the U.S., the DPJ should win easily. There are probably a lot of voters who will ride this wind of change, just for the sake of riding it, and vote for the DPJ just to get rid of the LDP…

I hope for Ichiro's sake that she doesn't try to make a name for herself as "Ichiro's niece". To survive in the rat race of the Geinokai, she had better have some kind of talent. Just being cute, and having a famous relative, isn't going to be enough. Wait a…

I'm sure Osamu Daizo is currently rolling over in his grave. Come to think of it, since he was probably cremated, I'm not sure he could do that... At any rate, why, oh why was this lad chosen? Not only is it his first movie, but he is from Johnny's…
