Service is something Softbank seriously sucks at. NTT and AU are much better at providing customers with friendly, wide coverage and fair cell phone service.

Good luck with that! Ha ha . Last two fatalities were caused by Japanese negligence. How about they just stay home in "Safety Japan".

Tough for the mother but she has family in Japan that can help with the child rearing. No one has yet suggested that the boy isn't someone elses. In the eyes of the law they aren't legally married. Maybe getting married before having unprotected sex isn't such a bad idea after all.The child is a citizen of Japan not USA at this point.

Try Europe, Africa, Australaia. This is the mid sized version of the landcruiser, the bigger model being the VX and the monster model the troop carrier, by special order.

Like it or not, the VAST MAJORITY of Japan IS paved, your tiny little country town with apparent dirt roads requiring 4WD is a small exception. Also, the VAST MAJORITY of these types of 4x4 SUV's ARE in deed street queens that will never see the dirt. You are kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Look at the sales and where they are sold. Also, this particular model is not sold in the US, that was my point.
Unless you can provide data backing up your assertions, pull your head in and think about the vast majority of land in Japan as being mountainous. From CIA factbook" paved: 949,101 km (includes 7,383 km of expressways) unpaved: 247,898 km (2006)" so what do those people who use that 26% drive? You are forgetting that the entire sea of japan coastal area as well as Hokkaido and the top five prefectures in Honshu regularly get snow fall in winter.

What a laughable sham the "safe Japan" campaign that the police and politicians push down peoples' throats is. Worse is the complete lack of moral fiber in the young generation of Japanese "men". Bushido values went down the toilet with the introduction of heated toilet seats and men sitting down to pee. Grow some gonads men and if you see a groper pull him by his until he stops it. Fathers and mothers encouraging their daughters to not take a back seat to men would also help in raising assertive confident women who don't look like targets.

ambulance and fire are 119, cops are 110. If the child was dead which anyone could probably ascertain, then the police would be the right action. Often 119 calls trigger an automatic police response as well. Anything that mentions accident will signal the boys in blue. These things happen, any parents nightmare. RIP young fella.

Too late the deal is sealed.(Rio)! Probably very little weight given to flipper and co.. The IOC decision is a bribe fest. Morals and ethics have very little to do with it.

cause Iwate has fewer tourists and to get to the coast means driving a car. Not easily accessible

they are killed in Iwate in bigger numbers than Taiji but I guess one step at a time. Feel sorry for the locals but come on Dolphin tours and eco tourism will provide way more money than killing Flipper will.
