This is great. The Japanese olympic soccer team need a forward that can get the boot into the goalkeeper. I guess this is his punishment for his juvenile behavior.

Let's remember, this was not a real investigation, it was a voluntary survey. I'm surprised the number is so high. If they did a full-blown investigation, I'm sure the number would be far higher.

I wonder how many other students are now sweating bullets, hoping that their graffiti isn't discovered. LOL!

The boys and girls in these cases have probably learned their lesson. I'm sure that the girls have, because on one of the wide shows the graffiti was not blurred out, and their…

It's sad, but a lot of those lost films in Japan were destroyed by GHQ after the war. They were worried about the films reviving nationalism. It's nice that these were found. I wish they would make a dvd of these lost films. They would be interesting to see.

They are one of the bands that started the visual-kei look. It's like David Bowie, Gary Glitter and KISS, glam rock at its best/worst. Lets not forget the big hair spandex-wearing bands of the 80's.

I am not a fan, like Junichiro Koizumi (Remember him singing "Forever Love" several years…

"Love Story" was a huge hit here in Japan too　(ある愛の詩).

Agree about "Grave of the Fireflies" too. I have to add the movie "Ikiru". That one really gets me, and it's a "disease" movie too.

I'm sure “Yomei” will be a hit. I understand about 90% of Japanese movies and…

Pilak, she will probably be found mentally incompetent and sent to a hospital for a few years.

Sad story. I can't imagine how her husband and family feels.

These knee-jerk reaction, banning knives and stopping car-free Sundays, aren't going to change a thing. Maybe they should outlaw temporary workers too.

I remember when I first came to Japan and walked past a kitchen knife shop in the shopping arcade and saw all the knives lined up on the…
