cow76 - quite, although you'll notice how it's the top crime story today in Japan according to JT.

Is this movie only just coming out on DVD here? Once again, Japan at the cutting edge of home entertainment releases!
It is one of those movies that is so bad it is actually painful to watch in parts. Ms Jameson tries her best but struggles to salvage it.

Mookoo - Do you have a source for the 5% you quoted? Would like to see that and see where the other Y30bn or so that's injected into the Okinawan economy comes from.

Badge123 - Think that's exactly what happened. Didn't know what nationality the guy was but saw a foreigner, assumed he was American and assumed he was military (doesn't take a huge imagination to guess at those two in Oki though).

sarcasm123 - Could you please provide a source for your figures that you have seen? Would be interested to read that. And how would hotels that are only filled to 20% capacity for most of the year (the Busena resort/Bankokysinryokan is a good current example) suddenly become full of tourists if the money that the US puts into the Okinawan economy left? Bear in mind according to the Okinawan government's own website, the US provided the Okinawan economy with over Y173bn in the 1996 fiscal year. Take into account rising land and commodity prices over the past 13 years and that's quite a black hole to fill

ikoffman - in that case wonder if he's hit 40 and suddenly realised he should get married. Usually gets the Japanese women at 30 so she's held out well.

Cricket probably has a better chance! Got to have dominoes and darts in if baseball gets back in.

sarcasm123 - Majority of Okinawans, I believe, are not anti-base. Certainly not the shopkeepers who have stores around any of the bases. Indeed, the US presence in Okinawa is one of the reasons it's not been hit harder given the current economic climate. It is the vocal minority though who always make the headlines. I do know that some of the right-wing nationalist groups from mainland send people down to take part in anti-base protests in Okinawa to make it look like there is a large movement here. In fact, Okinawan people were criticised by one group last year for accepting and (in some cases) welcoming the US military.

Good to see a family member apologising again. Expecting no sign of Shunta giving an apology of any sort. If anything is said it will be, as usual, classed as a "regrettable" incident.

Sarge - Foreigners are already considered guilty, hence the fingerprinting when they enter the country!

Behind the pack a little here. This was in the Japanese news a week or 2 ago.
Moderator: Not at all. This is a follow-up story in this week's edition of Shukan Post.

Can't see touch screens becoming that mainstream on mobile phones. They are just too fiddly to use unless the phones are going to incorporate a stylus with it. Stick with the keys and put the touchscreen money straight into mind control development.

smithinjapan - Can't really see that happening. They are 2 separate countries so it would similar to Scotland being knocked out of the World Cup qualifying and England taking their players and changing their name to make it a "UK" team. There is also no way FIFA would allow players to transfer and a new country with new playing pool to be created and allowed in the next World Cup.

Also, rhetoric is using language to influence or persuade. Not sure how that correlates to the length of writing. Care to expand on that?

Good to see people not defending these journalists too much. They did enter the country illegally, a country which they know is very strict against people entering, and especially at a time like this. Did they think that nothing would really happen and because they are journalists they would be allowed to go wherever they want?
