Hanging from what? What is inside an airplane's tiny restroom that can support human weight, even a lightweight Japanese woman? I hang a sport coat on those hooks and fear its integrity.

Supposedly the Tokyo Police examined the missing woman's apartment and didn't stumble across a gruesome crime scene akin to butcher shop like the guy claimed. Either they missed evidence, or he cleaned up REAL good.. weird, no matter from which direction you look at it.

Hmmmm.. not quite sure why Hakuho gets the same level of warning as Asashoryu. The aggression was purely started by Asashoryu, and Hakuho put an end to it with a quick, effective shoulder block. I guess the dignity and grace of being a Yokozuna includes having to take it when…

The Tokyo Rockabilly Club has got to be the most-photographed group of people in Japan. Think about it, the Cabinet gets snapped by couple-dozen or so media photogs. Every Sunday, hundreds of tourists from the four corners show up in Yoyogi Park, many seeking out the "Japanese Elvises". I probably…

Aren't Utsunomiya and Kofu at opposite ends of the mega-opolis? How did the alleged stalker come to allegedly fixate on her?

Obakamono

The new Commander of US Forces Japan, hand are tied because he just took charge and for sure he can't bring back this former GI even if he wanted too.

I'm not so sure that's true, the law that applies is the law that was in effect at the…

I hope you and everyone else here remembers this and don't change your tune when a case eventually arises where, as in this case, the Japanese authorities refrain from prosecuting a service member, the USMC (or applicable branch of service) investigates and tries the accused, and finds him/her not…
