It would be very unwise to try and grab him, as johnnyreb and KallyPygous are suggesting. In the first place, you couldn't be sure it was him, and you would be facing an assault charge if you were wrong. In the second place, even if it was Ichihashi, how do…

It's difficult to say. If I could quickly find a cop, I'd report the sighting, but the suspect would probably be gone by the time the cop arrived, especially if he was in a restaurant.

If I was feeling brave and had the time, I might follow him.

I wonder how the killer lured the woman away. She was on her way home from her part-time job, so my guess is someone she knew offered her a lift in his car. I hope video surveillance footage from all those cameras on streets and at traffic lights will provide…

I can't believe all the armchair detectives out there who know nothing about this case.

isthistheend. I can tell you for a fact that the police have monitored the parents' bank accounts since the crime was committed, checked phone records, video camera footage of ATMs and lots more. I work…

All the years I have lived in Japan, I don't think I have ever seen anyone leave the theater before the movie ends. I guess it's not a polite thing to do.

I liked "Reservoir Dogs," "Pulp Fiction" and "Inglourious Basterds," but nothing else. I think QT is too self-indulgent and sometimes full of himself, especially in interviews. I also wish he'd use less F words in his scripts because after awhile, it grates on my nerves (particularly so in "Reservoir Dogs").

Dear, oh, dear. I'm one of the 16% who live to work. What am I doing wrong? I must have a word to my boss to let me go home earlier and pay me more.

I don't think his parents have been helping him. In Japanese culture, his act has disgraced them for life. From what I hear, they have dropped out of sight and their own lives have been uprooted. Why would they help him anyway? Most likely, if Ichihashi contacted his parents, they…
