I was hoping they'd sell through AU too. From what I understand, Docomo was/is contemplating and AU was, flat out, not interested. I wouldn't switch to Softbank just because of the weaker signal. It's good for Softbank but personally, I think, Apple could do better selling through a different company. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hopefully they'll switch someday.

Totally unfair! She gets slammed and he gets off. The media has really made her look bad and don't seem to show much light on Nioka (Oh, but of course he's a good guy.....I almost forgot he plays for The Tokyo Yomiuri Giants). Regardless, for both of them to go into a love hotel; she should've known better. Nioka being drunk or not...it takes two to tango.

I was thinking the same. That and B.O.!!! If you can smell him/her with "hello," chances of taking that attention away throughout the date is going to be difficult.

Knives are used so often because those who use them this way can't get their hands on a gun. Can you imagine if they did have guns here like they do in the US or S.Africa? I hope it never happens.
The tea thing seemed to have worked. Good for her and her child. I don't think I could have stayed so calm. I probably would've ended up giving the guy a beer, only to intensify the situation.

That's why the cops arrested him....so they can ask him what color her undies were.
They roll them up so high to be sexy and cool. Obviously the girls are trying to get attention and they are getting it. But if it's from their wrong type of guy (not an IKEMEN) then it's "not called for."
Get the girls to wear them as they were designed, then 'upskirts' will decrease.

IMHO, graffiti in/on public places and spaces is totally uncalled for! But even more so on a World Heritage and especially by an adult! I think the coach got what he deserved. He is supposed to be setting an example for the children and this is not it. In turn, the school set the example by canning his arse! Now, hopefully the children learned from their actions.
Lesson Learned: Next time you plan to graffiti on walls; DO NOT put your full name, your school's name, home address, keitai number, cup-size, etc etc etc.!

No! Please, no more Brad or Cameron commercials! Especially Cameron; too annoying!
It is a little strange that Softbank isn't pushing it. Only 4 days away and not one single CM of it. Could have something to do with Apple, not allowing Softbank to promote it. On the same note, I have noticed that WillCom has increased commercials for their smart phones though.

usaexpat said it BEST! Protests like this seem so common in Korea. Wasting time and energy on something that, in most cases, is going to mount out to nothing. Save that time and use it at the Hyundai factory. Use the energy to improve the quality of your cars, Hyundai! The decision is up to the customer, if he/she doesn't want US beef, he/she won't buy it.

Trying to be positive: I think it's good that the filipinas are actually making better of themselves than sticking with the hostess/performer scene. Like the 24yo, in the article, at 40-50y/o, how far can you get with so-limited experience?
On the other hand: Oh no! Now where are the 50-60y/o single Japanese men going to find 20y/o women to marry them? Wait a minute!...That's why the hostesses shifted to caregivers...so they can now find 70-90y/o men to marry them! Ahhh.....inheritance¥¥ sooner.

For the same reason that citizens of English speaking countries don't speak Japanese too well.
