Unless registration on mixi has changed you need to have a Japanese cellphone email address to register. So as Mirai has said this eliminates anyone outside of Japan. What then is the purpose of teaming up with twitter? Sounds like they are headed the way of MySpace.

i would love to see the sources behind this writers research and also some statistics. this scattered mess of an article holds little more than random subjective ideas from the author.

before i answer this i would want to know how bad alcohol abuse and the amount of alcoholics there are in japan. the people of this country are worked to the bone and to the point of self annihalation for the workplace. i am all for drugs and liberal has as heck but honestly i worry about it being abused in this country more so just due to the stress levels being absolutely through the roof due to overwork.

maybe if they didnt waste their time being racist idiots and stopping me, a kindergarten teacher, every time one small crime occurs in our area they would actually get some real work done.

for some i know there are just hard times right now, but for others i know some personal stories of people who are just leeches and refuse to try to make it on their own. one person i even know hits their parents up for transportation money even though they are employed and make enough to blow 200 bucks on jeans evey time they get paid. although there are examples of such people in every country around the world.

tmarie - yeah i love how parents who dont speak a lick of english are experts on how to teach it. i have experinced a fair load of monster parents who expected the impossible and most times they had zero experince with english and only brief education.
also the biggest and most obvious flaw of english in schools here is the fact that its still taught in japanese. i have worked as an ALT at multiple schools and have watched plenty of senior english teachers attempt to teach fluency while using only japanese 80 percent of the time through class.
the other horrible thing is that i have met almost zero english teachers here who come no where close to actually being able to speak the language.
europe got it right ages ago. hence most can speak fluent english even though its a second lang. alas japan refuses to take note or acknowledge such facts.
then again should i really be complaining? its such faltering by the education system that will foever keep me in a job here

not really a life sentence with how long japanese oyajis live these days. he probably has a good 10 years of post-jail life ahead of him.

more movies from a guy who thinks he is halarious by merely coming out on stage each time in a poorly made costume that attempts to make him look like another star? yeah, ill pass.

the movie was complete crap, and thats coming from someone who has seen loads and loads of horror movies. why people were scared by this is beyond me. just another cheaply made "fake found footage" horror movie.

slashes to his wrist? what a coward. if he strangeled them why not hang himself to get the same. they didnt ask for this. if you were so miserable why not kill yourself first and let them make their own choices. the worst part is the biggest waste of a life is the one who lived.

i bought both a wii and ps3 when the systems came out. while fun at first, the wii quickly lost its unique controller based properties. every game i bought for the system was fun for a few shakes but almost all the titles could not handle any decent story or engrossing environment that kept me hooked. after about 6 months i sold the damn thing out of the fact that i just never even picked it up anymore. on the other hand i still grab every free second i have to game on my ps3 and find the japanese version absolutely wonderful due to the fact that it plays all regions (also imported games are surprisingly reasonably priced in den den town).

how is a hit and run not news? what if it helps find the driver or at least a lead that saw something.

definitely this poor lady was just out on her luck and probably overwhelmed by the care of 2 parents. although this does not justify out and out abuse of this overly trusting hotel - it shows that obviously there are few options for those who get into tough times. although with that said there is always more to a story like this.
