Having Vending machines sell cigarettes is a bad move from the start. Increase convienience to those cancer sticks means people are more likely to smoke. They should limited the places where you can gain access to buy them. I blame the dweeb who allowed them to be sold in vending…

What does this research mean to Whales in the long term, will they develop some way to clone whales or something? Wish they'd publish a report on the research they do. I'd like to see the progress.

I love it when people point out China's other faults every time China complains about the way Japan dealt with histroy. Chinese wrong doings are independent to whether Japan needs to reassess their attitude on WWII and vice versa. The Yasukuni Shrine has more than just war crimminals- good point,…

Her voice is really good I must say...her range is amazing. I guess it's a change from the normal Asian female artist sound. Though I don't get why she chose to debut in Japan, (the sarcasm from some commentors tells me she's going to have a hard time.) Her voice…

Shotgun weddings really seem to be the "in" thing these days amoung the celebrities- I sometimes wonder, have they never heard of condoms or something? Or is this the way some Japanese women get men to propose? By getting pregnant?

Yesss join us Japan...join New Zealand (and other completely public smokefree countries) Stop the spreading of those damn cancer-sticks. I swear it took a couple of years of my life living there cause of the smoke fumes. Stations are a start. Someone should hire people to guard those stations and…

Exodus...hmmm won't comment on that. But I do love her Japanese songs. Hopefully she will produce some good "originality" and at least get some positive feedback in the US market. (What is it with Asians trying to make in the states these days? BoA,se7en, the Filipino girl who was on…

> The question one should consider is what are the odds that a foreign film about Tianamen Square or the opression of Tibet would clear the censors in China
