    Is the guy on the right inserting something where the sun doesn't shine? Might explain his expression....

    Correction: DPJ

    They are secretly the same party.... it's all a conspiracy and Japan chose the puppet on the left instead of the puppet on the right for a change!

    Any idea why the release date has been pushed back? It was originally slated in for the first week of October :-(

    LI say...personally I could never "start to like" rap. If rap music would start to all (or mostly) become positive in nature, then I would start to disapprove of it much less. Most of my problem with rap is its bad attitude

    You're making sweeping statements about an entire genre of music there... not all hiphop is about guns, bitches and bling

    Have a listen to BRAINTAX - that's about as far removed from the gangster culture as mozart - and then realise that the genre can be suprisingly thought-provoking

    why does the US. military play Rock in Roll in the soldiers helmets now during a war? Because the US. military knows that certain music pumps people up to do some cold blooded killing without feeling. Do you know how many people I could kill if I was listening to the group "System of the Down" in a war?

    Any evidence of this? I find it hard to believe that the hearing sense, one of the most important senses when trying to locate where gunfire is coming from, would be supressed with rock music...

    I'm still confused - why exactly will Hatoyama do a better job? Some of his promises seem pretty far fetched to me...

    I wonder how much he cried and screamed while being stuck in the carseat and unable to get out

    If it was dehydration, I would guess there wasn't a whole lot of anything happening

    What a horrible way to go :-(

    Guess they couldn't find a pair of boots that actually fit those skinny legs.

    It's a shame that it is such a common sight :-(

    "Dangerousness"?

    Is that even a word?

    Yes

    tokyochris -- please clarify your last sentence?

    What I meant is that there isn't really any other way that Japanese people CAN explain these kinds of people... The whole 'mixed race' concept is still a relatively new concept here in Japan in comparison to other nations so they possible don't have a term for it (please correct me if I'm wrong - I won't pretend to be a master of Japanese!)

    Although it CAN be used in a derogatory way, it isn't defined (nor generally used) in that way... it's the same as saying 'half-caste' in English - it CAN be offensive, but it doesn't actually mean anything bad by itself

    There are Brazilian-Japanese who are not 50/50 (haafu) they do look Japanese. Why would you call them haafu when they are only 1/4 Japanese. Even less than 1/4 when add the African, Native, Latin with the Japanese.

    (not a pop at your reply biglittleman, wanted to use this to reply in general)

    I think people need to realise that 'haafu' doesn't actually mean 50% in this case.... it's just a word that's been taken from English to mean "of mixed heritage"

    tokyochris, why label someone like Marie a 'half' in the first place ? Why not call her Marie ?

    The Japanese people don't call her 'haafu Marie'... I have no idea where you get that notion from? In the article, it's Marie that refers to herself by that term

    The term 'half' is a racist expression implying that someone is only half Japanese and half of something else

    It's not a racist term... the word 'half' isn't generally used in a derogatory way at all

    It's not different from people back in England saying that someone is 'mixed race'

    I hear Aso has a simple solution to this, and the groping problems... ban women from trains!

    Techno artists whose album cover shows a portrait of themselves haven't understood Techno!

    Richie Hawtin disagrees...

    You must be proud because you now understand what we are talking about! Good job!

    I'm proud that I was right to begin with because my view hasn't changed

    Thanks for the congratulations though - it's brightened up my day ;-)

    I have seen him before he was famous. Like I said before I know for a fact he doesn't dress this way all the time.

    Congratulations on seeing him before he was famous, I hope you feel proud!

    I wasn't disputing whether or not he does wear other clothes... but I have never seen him dressed in any other way in the few years that he's been popular

    His fashion selection isn't only this or that. There are lots of styles in between

    Really? He has looked like he has just come from the set of 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' every single time that I have seen him...
