  Anyone know about sperm banks in Japan? Was thinking about storing some just in case, you never know what life throws at you.

  i hate when walking round a shop, or in a restaraunt trying to have a conversation with a friend at a civilsed decibel level, and the staff shouting IRASSHAIMASSE at 110db in our faces every 3 seconds.

  They know their market. Japan is the land of premium priced goods; for some strange reason Japanese tend to associate premium pricing with quality, and I can imagine a relatively decent amount of demand for these kind of money wasters despite the economic downturn. This kind of premium pricing psychology does indeed exist in most countries, though I find in Japan it tends to be much more prevalent.

  ‘I want to atone for my crime in a way no one can know.’”.... so i decided to write a book about it. What? I:m sorry but trying to paint him in some sort of good light, aint working at all. And it seems from the story that HE was the one ending it with his ex gf so, what exactly was HE having to endure to have made him commit the crime??

  you cannot watch a dubbed movie and call yourself "Movie buffs"... unless it is one of the laughable movies from the 1970s that are so bad they are good (like the old bruce lee ones)

  Poor girl. Hope it wasnt suicide. Either way very tragic and unnecessary.

  sad case- 27 dogs is obviously ridiculous, the owner likely had some kind of mental problem also. A least the animals were left where there was good chance of recovery

  Japan prefers their dubbing to subtitles........ the subtitles seen on TV are mostly as previous commenters have said, for emphasis.

  Yes I do understand KY. Just because there is a romanised abreiviation of the japanese word, does not mean it is a Japanese trait. AND if this were a Japanese trait, then they would only be using this word with reference to foreigners, which is not the case. The fact that there is a necessity for the word, would imply that Jpnese society is filled with a variety of people. So again, how is this anything to do with being Japanese?

  When I get irritated with people who are unable to read a situation or pick up on the mood of a conversation. (Female, 30)

  Ummmm, what has this got to do with the price of fish? This was the strangest on the list by far, as it seems to be assuming that Jpnese somehow have a higher EQ than other nationalities. There are even plenty of skits on TV that make fun of the exact people she is complaining about in Japan.

  So is that it? The ones who are whining about "FLYJIN" turning their back on Japan.... is it through some desire to prove "i love Japan more" and have it recognised somehow? I do find it baffling that some would be so insecure as to require some kind of recognition of their love of Japan. Many people who love their homes fled too - doesnt really mean they love it less at all, as them staying here would have achieved.......... what exactly? consuming more finite resources??

  lost face with their Japanese subordinates & colleagues calling in from overseas while everyone came to work as usual

  some of us "came to work" in other offices, often from overseas offices... don:t assume everyone just ditched work and ran.
