    60 people, of whom only ""many were critical""? Really, do you even need to make a report on this?

    Moderator: We certainly need to report it. The issue is of great concern to cities all over Japan.

    That's a nice lengthy sentence. I approve. Thank you, lay jurists.

    I should be complaining that this is an advertisement masquerading as a news article, but actually, it's pretty cool that the photo chemical research has crossed over to skin care. I'd be much more interested in testing this that whatever crap is being flogged at the duty free shops. (I'm rather cynical of anything advertised in women's magazines.)

    Samantha, how many yearzs did those bags last? It certainly must seem a lot up front, but if they use them for 6 years, ... it might actually be fairly cost effective.

    JapanToday, It's unfortunate that you focused so much attention on this child's recent difficulties. (And on her birthday, fer crissake!) Couldn't you have said something about her pet, for instance, instead?

    I'd've thought Shin-Okubo is the Korea-town in Tokyo.

    " those boundaries end outside of one’s bedroom door"

    As long as he feels that way about other consenting, I couldn't care less about his consensual sex life. (I think some of the religious right might have issues, but I don't)

    Harassment is a bigger problem. Lying about not being aware of harassment settlements is very problematic, as it shows a duplicitousness nature.

    Being unaware of China's status as a nuclear nation, is a deal-breaker.

    Yabits, at Y500 a bottle, it's dirt-cheap here, too. And even at that sales have dropped off drastically in recent years.

    So, it's onto the next unsuspecting countries for the BN PR machine. "Hey, China! Guess what!"

    Still, I've always enjoyed the festivity and although I'll just stick to beer that night, it's nice to have the annual excuse for parties.

    I'd've been more impressed if the ministry worker dumped it within his own lot - literally in his own back yard - but maybe he lives in an apartment. Still, he didn't mind having it near his home. Wasn't a serious threat from the sounds of it. The mistake was in throwing it onto someone else's property - and it's a PR mistake more than anything.

    I see. Thanks for pointing that out. I shall endeavor to check back to see if the story posting happened after the seemingly silly comment, in future.

    Dear Mod/Editor, I'd like to propose that you add a little note - say, something like "Story updated: Nov. 14, 2011 - 12:52 PM JST " - at either the bottom of the article or in the thread, when you make updates.

    This is the ball diamond in Massaki-cho. (I spelled it wrong above). There seems to be a bit of problem with the translation. The diamond is for all the children in the area, not just the ones in temporary houses. The owner of the land has donated it for this use, after all the pre-existing ball diamonds in the area were re-purposed for temporary housing communities.

    He has great security. And a helluva wall. It looked like someone was starting a pyramid when it was being built. I lived a block away at that time. And I've got to say, it is an inviting looking challenge for anyone who likes to climb.
