One rumor in Seattle is that he will be taking over the helm there next year. God knows they need somebody to bring them back.

If he did, he would only have to add an R to his uniform...

I remember watching her and Suzuki Ranran on Ponkikis many years ago. Both were really cute then. Both have grown up well, one in singing the other in acting.

I prefer listening to her than to Kinki Kids, who have also broke a record.

I often wonder how much Japanese…

Which Gaidai?

Didn't his grandmother die while Jero was still in Japan, and he wasn't able to return for her funeral? I seem to remember hearing that on TV.

Wish him the best.

timeon, she was just joking. If you haven't already, you should watch her Academy Award winning performance in "Monster". Now that's acting. Hard to believe it's the same woman.

Hancock was a fun movie. Some unexpected bits kept it pretty interesting.

Maybe its Amelia Earhart....

Seriously though, a lot is hidden in those island jungles. I remember living in Guam when they found Sgt. Yokoi, who believed the war was still going on. I wonder what it was like for him to return to Japan in the '70's. Talk about Rip…

I am in the same boat as kimigano. Chuck who? I remember Chuck Wilson, the Judoka who became a tarento. Then there's the great Texas Ranger Chuck Norris...

Congratulations to Japan on their victory. It was well-deserved. Both teams played well, and represented their countries with pride. Really enjoyed watching. Ueno deserved a gold medal for her performance whether Japan won or not.

I am glad that the Olympics are winding down. It's funny, even though Japan is…

At least NTV's 24-hour TV is for charity, like the Jerry Lewis Telethon in the States. As far as I know, Fuji's 27-hour has no real point, except to show how cool they are (JIMAN).

If reuniting can help raise money for charity, and more awareness about handicapped people (Goodness…

Ueno should get a special gold medal for pitching so well, and getting little support from her batters. Good luck to both teams in today's game, should be exciting. I hope it doesn't go into extra innings...

Too bad their not giving the customers the new Ipod Nano instead of a battery replacement.
