But lets be honest: Foreigners bring a lot of the trouble on themselves. We normal foreigners who get along here quite nicely have to live in a mess created by a small number of vocal and extremely ill-manered and brutish foreigners who preceded us here, and never should have tried…

Mr James has upset non-Japanese, among them Arudo Debito, the chairman of the Foreign Residents and Naturalized Citizens’ Association of Japan

Just curious to know how many members he represents through his organization.

Gads, wish I had even a tenth of his talent. The next Hendrix? Now if he can only avoid the alcohol, drugs, and burn-out cycle.

TV commercials are full of caricatures of one thing or another. Now there is a caricature of a foreigner, so we've made it! Japanese caricature themselves unmercifully in commercials. I've even seen a commercial that caricatures Buddha. Nobody complained. That is just the TV way. Get on UTUBE and search…

Noborito, 8 of your ex-pat friends relocated to Singapore or Beijing? A real tidal wave (tsumani?) isn't it.

If Debito every starts getting coverage by the Japanese media, THAT will cause backlash more harmful to us foreigners than anything the Japansese can throw our way. CEASE AND DECIST DEBITO, before you ruin it for the rest of us.

Japan is the second largest economy in the world. Anyone who is not selling here is just plain shortsighted (I was going to say "stupid", but restrained myself).
