I just like how the article mentions abusive relationships. I seriously doubt all relationships are abusive. I just don't get this country sometimes when it comes to matters like this. I remember something about how they wanted to change a foreigner's passport to foreigners living in Japan (I'm a little…

I really don't understand Japan's mentality of this. It's like the last article I read here called "Osaka 'maid cafe' waitresses fly to Taiwan to attract tourists"

It would be like America using Hooters Waitresses to attract tourists.

Someone has to tell him to stop watching Superman IV: The Quest For Peace.

From what I read here and at this site http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=10452 (Hope it's OK to link) It's seems all the Japanese higher ups want mindless drones to just do their jobs.

50,000 fans sign a petition to keep a manager, um this should tell you to keep him Mr. Setoyama. It's…

From a team point of view the question becomes how much money are they willing to pay in order for the team to be competitive?

Ask the Giants on that one. That's why I hear Bobby V is not a fan of them. They are to Japanese baseball what the…

Do you think the Marines would change their minds to keep him if he pulls them into the playoffs and or let alone win the Japan Series?

If they don't change their minds, this is going to be a dark day for the Chiba Lotte Marines fans and probably Chiba…

It would be a sad and dark day if he were to actually resign or even if the higher ups actually wanted it to happen. Considering Bobby Valentine is such a major icon for the team, fans, city, etc., and what he would like to see implemented for Japanese Baseball…

I tried to get into I Survived A Japanese Game Show. I was all ready for it, but when the reality part of it kicked in I was turned off. The reality part of it reminded me of Survivor.

I enjoyed watching Takeshi's Castle (Beat Takeshi's Genki Ga Deru) or…

On topic, I think those who post threats of copying Kato are sad and pathetic loners who want some attention - even if it is the police. They'll have something to say the next time they find themselves with a group of people. Sad yet strangely understandable given how society…

Every time I go the Mainichi Daily News site the WaiWai section just keeps getting bigger and bigger with the apology.
