But... most of the original comic series took place in Japan, and the movie would really help Japan right now. Why the heck would they move and? Now they're going to have to change most of the original plot.....

"What about the Fukushima nuclear crisis?
The closest school we had someone is 55 kms away from the nuclear power plant. The teacher is still working there. "
That's not true, my boyfriend and I know at least one Interac teacher who had to move to a new school because he was teaching in what is now the exclusion zone (we worked with them for 2 years, now do private)

My friends taught these kids, they were all good kids who were just celebrating that they'd finally graduated high school. All of them even had college plans figured out, so please stop talking about them like they were lowlifes.
Oh and no, it was a boy driving.

Some people here in Japan don't seem to remember already either, during the minute of silence last Sunday, many people around me kept shopping, talking, and basically didn't even seem to notice the time or date....

yes, but it is mostly just a fear. I have spent a great deal of time in Tohoku volunteering and reviewing the radiation maps, if it is from beyond the mountain range in Fukushima there is hardly any radiation

Hayakawa's Blog: More detailed information about the Government of Japan's rescue attempt in the Fukushima 20km No-Go Zone.
This protection effort will be from March 1 to March 19, divided into 3 time frames. Based on an the recommendations of a Committee of Capture Techniques that was formed to provide ideas how to trap pets in the 20km Zone, they will be able to move forward with this rescue attempt. They will implement the ideas and techniques used by the Committee based on the results that they got from the committee's attempts on Feb. 24 to capture pets. They hope to capture an average of 100 animals a day. The animals will then be transported to the Fukushima Prefecture shelter. Owners of the newly captured pets will have 1 month to claim their pet. If they do not claim their pet, the pet will be considered abandoned and will be able to be fostered or adopted by someone else. They are making it 1 month to claim the pet because the animals that are in the shelter for long periods of time show signs of stress, so to reduce this, they have implemented this new owner claim policy. The Government officials are also asking that people volunteer to be foster parents since it is unhealthy for the pets to remain in shelters for too long of a time. http://www.env.go.jp/press/press.php?serial=14906

These are stories that are long overdue in being heard. I wonder if they will get George Takai to record his story? He has openly talked about how his entire family was in the camps, but I do not think he has ever sat down and told the whole tale

gyouza: I agree wholeheartedly. Why aren't more people willing to help Tohoku recover?
Arigato Tokyo and Shizuoka!

wow, and it only took nearly a year! oh, and let's just ignore the fact that pretty much all the other animals the government has "saved" from the exclusion zone have been put down so far
If you really want to help support a group who will rescue and care for the poor animals, donate to Hoshi Hiroshi, Japan Cat Network or the United Kennel Federation... don't fall for the governments lies about "saving" animals

I don't see how this is that different from how my old local SPCA chapter ran things, you could sit and play with the cats and dogs, learn about them from workers and adopt them while there after becoming attached to one. Heck, the only thing the SPCA is missing is charging people to come in, since they do even have a drink menu

as long as it is from outside of the contaminated areas, I do not see any issue with this project at all. It seems silly to me that so many prefectures are unwilling to help their fellow citizens in this grave matter...

daisan - they do have green tea, even in the US a lot of places (including many grocery stores) sell it.
Lovenot - " this pot has fruit such as slices of apple, orange and kiwifruit in the broth. The broth is made from an oolong tea base with fragrant olive wine, and other spices." that sounds pretty friggin healthy to me, especially compared to most places that seem to only serve pastries
Personally, I really hate tradiational oden, mostly because of the fish cakes, but this sounds quite interesting and worth a try. Thanks for the reccomendation.

I wish they would enforce these laws more often, and definitely not JUST in Tokyo. Out here in the countryside of Yamanashi I have had 2 students end up in the hospital this school year because they were not paying attention while on their bikes and rode into the street while they didn't have the right of way.
One of them even went into a coma for a few weeks... and yet her friends are still out there talking on phones, carrying umbrellas and riding with no lights at night. What will it take to make them realize it isn't just illegal, but unsafe?
