I also voted for America as a joke, because it's outrageously ridiculous that they were included in the poll as a choice. It seems that a secondary benefit of this joke are the JT commenters who are foaming at the mouth that "so many people could be so stupid to think that the US would be behind such a crime". Really? It didn't occur to you that the vast majority of voters are joking?

I do agree that China and Japan would be great additions to the poll choices and would enhance the entertaining conspiracy theories immensely.

I live near the Korean embassy so it's a weekly occurrence for me. I don't care if they do it during the day but they wake me up on Sundays with their incomprehensible blaring. And I live on the 16th floor! Nothing is worse than waking me up early on weekends...

I wonder if her parents paid for both her education and her... enhancements? If she doesn't make it in music, she can always woo judges over to her side with the right outfit!

I was in the Akihabara BK on Sunday at 3pm and well after they had sold out the first 30, about half the people in the store were trying their hands at it. Saw more than a few finish it completely. Of course because of the demand, they told us the wait on regular burgers was 40 minutes! (Whopper JRs were available right away.) So much for fast food...

Would it be any different if a girl created it? I think it would be male in that case.

By the way, there are more Japanese men who are married to foreign women than Japanese women married to foreign men, these are true statistics.

Yes, but they are Japanese guys married to wives from other Asian countries. That's hardly as interesting to the Japanese public as an interracial couple.

Can't imagine that there are too many pictures in U.S. papers, or UK ones for that matter, of folks who finished sixth in an event.

Not true at all, they always mention where the people from that country finished. I think people care less about who finished first, since they know he/she will be from Kenya.

I think サブウェー123 is a lot catchier and easier for Japanese people to remember. I see it a lot in marketing - Japanese people really hate long katakana product names.

I think the real question is, why do you need to send 40 officers to take down one guy with a knife? One or two patrol cars would have been fine!

on the other hand, animes that don't use original music (Bleach, Naruto, etc) have introduced me to a lot of groups I probably wouldn't have discovered before.

Those undies will be perfect for the otaku/hikkikomori sub-culture. "When you just can't bother to bathe..."

National Azabu is the only place you can get matzo ball mix. For 700 yen a box.
