I would bet if Poland and South Korea has the same avanrage as Japan did their coach would employ these methods as well...

We Malaysians regardless whether you are Malay, Indians, Chinese as well as fellow Sabahan and Sarawakian fought hard in the elections to at least get rid of Barisan Nasional who have been in power since independence and with Najib and his wife Rosmah which faces corruption (murders included) it's easy for those outside of Malaysia to be downright negative about it.

This is beginning of baseball season, there will be lots of game for the next 6 months onwards. As somebody who follow baseball there will be ups and downs in each game. And it will be better as time progresses and he gets used to the environment

Not too worried about Japan's handling of major international events, if not they are one of the most predictable, safe and reliable hosts of any major sporting events. Well, people says bad thing about Rio, but during the games it went smoothly without any major hiccups (post-olympics is a different story though)

Yuzuru Hanyu's costume is actually a lot tamer compared to what Johnny Weir would wear...

The reality is that North Korean regime is very manipulative and always found a way to distract people from the issue which is at hands, nuclear issue, political murders (just what happen in Malaysia recently) and economics sufferings of her own people.

Well, money talks....

The irony that the people who did not like Abe suddenly became staunch Abe supporter when it comes to Okinawa

Godd luck and all the best!

Well, Americans have have been in Okinawa for many many years but it doesn't stop the Chinese from entering the Japanese waters does it? In fact the one doing all the works of warning the Chinese is the Japanese coast guards themselves.

At least in the case of AKB48 if you decide to quit the band ie. Atsuko Maeda (they call it graduation), they will celebrate you, do farewell concerts, shower the artist with encouragement for future projects which for me is more positives. Compared to what happen to S.M Entertainment former Chinese member in Exo (Tao and Luhan) and Girl Generation's Jessica, your are slapped with lawsuits, banned from appearing in major networks in Korea. No wonder the anxiety of doing well and constantly being told you're not good enough coupled with depression lead to this young man to commit suicide

At least one youtuber make a video regarding this type of injury which happen to pitchers at some point in their career that make more sense and factual basis rahter thanm jumping into conclusions  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mDsoy9gH2g

The picture itself is very telling. For a very very small island with little space people are asking to move the school. To where? The ocean floor?

Wish all the best for Hanyu!

To those who ask the Okinawans to move the school, oh if they had luxury of big space of lands. It's like telling islanders like Vanuatu, Fiji, Maldives Samoa to move into the oceans!

Pukey2,

Yes I'm fully aware about that, somebody's so cranky today, sheeesh....

Nathan Chen is from the United States btw, not Canada. Congratulations on Chen, he is a rising star. But I'm more disappointed in lack of coverage by mainstream American media in celebrating our Asian-American athletes winning as figure skating no longer popular in the States compared to other type of sports such as baseball or basketball etc....

Most Asian traditional musical instrument use animal skins since thousand of years and it's good of there is a replacement then I'm all for it...South east Asian drums are well known to be using cow and buffalo skin.

As much as I do not enjoy Justin Bieber as much, coming from China about "growing up" a little bit disingenuous when you treat Nobel peace laureate Liu Xiaobo badly resulting in him unable to receive proper treatment for cancer and die.

Bring the Olympics home to Athens, permanently.

Not sure Greece has the money though, and Greeks will not be happy as well since they are struggling economically and financially just to survive.

That's shows Japanese voter in general and Tokyo citizens in particular able to exercise their votes and perform check and balance on the polititicans. And some says Japan is not a democracy, smh....

One thing when dealing with Russia is expect the unexpected. As much as they can forcefully take lands from other country that angers them they can also generously give away lands for countries that became their puppet/good side.

He should worry about THAAD debacle more though...

I avoid 2 hotel, APA and Trump Hotel, both are two side of the same coin. One is the history denier and the other is climate change denier. Being old at certain age will be difficult to change ther world view except boycott.

Congratulations Sato-san!

To be put in a context, Indonesia do jail Ahok, the first Chinese governor of Jakarta for insulting Islam, so not sure whether that considered good human right records!

Thanks for the great skate, Mao!

Congratulations!

I'm not suprised as Sony Pictures America have been given too much independence and spending money likes waters.

CH3CHO yes using women as sex slaves whether it is forced or vountarily (due to poverty or hunger created by these men at war) is EVIL, INHUMANE and WRONG whether Japanese Imperial, Lord Resistance Army, or ISIS. You can put any terms for it (comfort woman is the most beautiful term I've ever heard so far), as we South East Asian people know better....
