I like Avril. Go Avril.
I think the Japanese girl on the left (behind the girl wearing the black& white print dress) looks like Miki Ando.

My pet peeve reguarding fashion are: horizontal stripes on any clothing especially t-shirts with horizontal lines. I see alot of males young & old wearing them. Please no more!!!

Mittsu:
No. It was not ingenious.
It was stupid & not thought through. If the suspect wanted it to look like a car accident the victim should not have been found in the back seat but in the front seat.

....fire fighters, police and hotel staff investigated. But it wasn’t until Friday that an employee found the suitcase, which a police investigator later opened to discover the body.
How inept the resue depts. are in Japan, that it took an employee of the hotel to find the suitcase even with a strong odor 'leading the way'?

I knew the girl was lipsynching but I am very dissappointed to learn that it was not her own singing voice she was lipsynching to but some other girls voice.
I am left feeling I & others have been had.

Will they sell Japanese souvenir postcards?
When I was in Tokyo Japan last year (my 1st & only visit there thus far) I had a difficult time finding postcards @ the post office, convenience stores, pharmacies etc. Luckily by accident I finally found postcards in an unlikely 'hole in the wall' store along some street near where I was staying.
But I sure expected it to be an easier & more pleasant errand than it turned out to be. I reasearched this re: Japan on the net prior to my going & was lead from what I read that postcards could be easily located @ the aforementioned stores, but I found this to be untrue.

It does not look very secure. It looks cheap. I wouldn't think if is a better alternative.

Added to the headline should be the words: for a limited time. because in the article it states: The offer is valid until Aug 31, at participating hotels Thursday to Monday.

"Riyo Mori's pant suit was terrible, and she had a ponytail to boot. She didnt look good at all. She wasn't even wearing her crown."
I disagree. I think Riyo Mori's pant suit was wonderful & I liked the idea of her hair in a ponytail & her not wearing a crown. I think she was making the statement that her reign is indeed over & she is definitely passing the honor onto the next Miss Universe.
GO Riyo!!!
Congrats to Miss Venezuela!!

I say: Never mind letting the J-cops or J-courts handle this guy & mete out his punishment, but let the JFS (Jpanease Skating Federation) deal with him & punish him. Considering how harshly the JSF punished Nobunari Oda for his mistake & lack of judgement, I'm sure the JSF would hand out an even harsher & appropriate punishment to this guy. Also after seeing how swiftly the JSF punished Nobunari Oda, I'm sure this sad situation & this guys punishment would be taken care of swiftly as it should be.
