DoCoMo subscriber here,: LTE Xi is not pegged to a fixed plan like AU and Softbank, so no limit but you pay for every packet you use. Hold on a few months, the rumor is that DoCoMO and Apple are close to an agreement. Not having the iphone is hurting DoCoMo a lot more than they will admit. BTW LTE isn't available in rural areas, just like other countries. Try driving outside of the Kanto and LTE kicks in and out all the time.

Did you know that Japan are the US are important trade partners ?
Yeah Japan takes Chinese lent money from the U.S. USA doesn't gain much from JPN in trade terms, not while JPN won't open up it's agricultural markets. Protectionism is JPNs only hope.

Barbaric from a country that has few protections for accused. Poor Japan really can't stop following America. How is capital punishment reducing the murder rate?
It's not. THe elderly are killing each other more often. Less young people sees less murders in the most vioent age group but the death penalty hasn't stopped old folks killing old folks.

True, True. Look at the constitution and you won't be surprised. Japan is 17th century mentality in gender roles.

Actually the romantic notion that a sacrifice will appease others is well written in Japanese fiction, including manga. This lad while probably not the most emotionally stable lad was probably fully rational in his decision to kill himself. Unlikely to be a bully.

Good luck Kaks, Hope you enjoy your time here. Get well, and go back refreshed in time for 2015. Conrad will appreciate the support. Oh and try and teach your team mates about creating space with running lines. They are all too flat and predictable.

Check the ratings, it is a lot of grappling and the scoring is confusing. It is not widely popular or it wouldn't be dropped. Fact is as much as Japan is strong at it, it probably shows it isn't popular cause Japan just isn't that good at sports that are popular. BUT they are getting better at soccer in a hurry. Better they spend their money on exciting popular sports like basketball, soccer, swimming e.t.c.

Well when check book diplomacy fails Japan is high and dry cause there really is nothing left in Japan's diplomatic arsenal. Japan has always relied on money buying political friendships and as it's economic influence diminishes it will need to resort to saber rattling, of course all the while hiding behind America's bloated military. Trouble is China is funding the US military at the moment. Who really needs who more? Sensible heads needed here on all sides especially the US's as they call the shots.
