Substance abuse was more of a symptom. Performing for audiences on demand is an extremely stressful…

Interesting. You can almost tell from the comments who's been here for more than five years…
Posted in: Why do Japanese change their attitude when they communicate with foreigners?
An act of children. The rightists of Japan, another group of children, are green with envy…

That would be the best way but people who really want to die are pretty resourceful.

Goofed up with this. Next time either just shake hands or just bow. Doing both makes you look like a doofus. Oh and watch out for the right wingnuts saying you shouldn't kowtow to inferior nations i.e everyone else.

To what end? Why would you wish for a persons death? That is a senseless primal reaction. The death of this boy will affect her long after you have forgotten his name. Seriously don't look up but I bet you can't remember it. Rather than want another body you'd be better served thinking how tragedies like this can be avoided.

gaijins in advertisements is cute but why does Softbank have a different buying scheme for non Japanese and non Korean descent zainichi? Softbank still sucks.

Dano stop watching 24. torture gets information the torturer wants to hear, nothing more. Your scenario would still result in the relative being killed.

obviously it is working. This young lad is a typical pyromaniac. Diseased, not criminally motivated. Treatment folks.

Well if the coach is taking the yen then it's up to then to fall in line. Who cares about results when fragile egos are at stake. Odd that Japanese JHS coaches are the biggest bunch of bullies ever sanctioned by a state. But they are Japanese and get angry with physical abuse with control. What a joke of a statement.

ihavearrived;both your posts about this game are so inaccurate that I find it hard to believe you went to it. (a) most of the crowd wasn't Aussies and Kiwi's. (b) that wasn't a boring game, both teams tried to run the ball with free flowing rugby, plenty of air given to the ball and some wonderful skills on display. Will it attract lots of people to the game? doubtful given the Japanese JHS club system.

Okay I take it back. No "still". By the way Yankees fans with their fair weather allegiances are contemptuous. Condsidering the money they pay not winning the show must be seen as failures.

That tattoo taboo is over played. More and more younger Japanese are getting inked and the stigma of tats has diminished greatly.The Ainu the true Japanese use tattoos all the time. Surely an international hotel has no concerns. This is just pandering by the All Blacks. Michael Phelps has swam in Japan with no problem. Someone is telling the ABs porkies. Cultural awareness no. Just arrived media swallowing BS? yes.
