I just saw the TV commercial for this yesterday. It says "Boil Japan" in English. Isn't there a bad connotation to that?

Enough already! Please stop force feeding us AKB48. They're everywhere, on TV, on the trains, in stores, not to mention the copy cat groups. We can't escape them. It's like "Big Brother" in Orwell's 1984.

Thanks, I wasn't sure. Even with those figures, I think it was a self-serving political move by the governor.
Cough syrups, ointments, etc came in little plastic jars or bottles depending.

Hopefully their parents have already beat some sense into them. And I'm sure they were made to apologize to the victims. But because they are minors, I don't think the police are allowed to release their names to schools, etc.

A "talento" or "talent" In English can be anyone from a singer, model, TV personality, movie star, etc. You can see Becky on TV programs any day of the week here. She is very popular. I'm not sure if she has any albums out, but she probably does. She's got a cute, girl you love to take home to Mom, look and personality. Type "Japan Becky" into your YouTube search engine.
