i know this family... this is very surprising. i hope the kids are okay.

I lost my uncle to the same cancer in July after a 5 month battle. Such an awful and quick cancer. Very sad about Patrick. R.I.P

That is soooo sad.

what about the nerdy Japanese guy in HEROES... havent seen any Japanese people offended by it!

My aussie friend was a victim of this last year... not only Americans I can say. And the guy who got him to the bar was another foreigner...

sure he was a bit weird, but i will and i hope others remember his music and his dance.

they met in america - and moved to japan together...

I think Moe is a good role-model for Japanese people. A whole lot more than what I can say for some western models...

this photo makes her look smooth and what, but I saw her on TV recently, and she looked as old as my mum ( turning 60 this year )- wouldnt surprise me if she hasnt had surgery and has just got some good make-up. She is a beautiful woman, and her wrinkles look great :)

New Hampshire.... where?

Japan today is a Japanese website so if locations are outside of Japan, I think is appropriate that you mention the COUNTRY.

Nice news :)

Its annoying when people try to guess my blood type - they have a one if four chance to begin with/plus I think its a load of cr@p. I cant believe the money spent on the books on this topic...

I think its great that a japanese celebrity is doing some kind of charity work . From what Ive seen not enough of it goes on here.

Its reassuring to know that there are independant toy-testing groups out there.

Her pitch is great - She has been playing with the boys since Elementary school and was chosen on her performance. Congratulations!!

I recommend the OMC card... mine is Green and has Hello Kitty on it ;P

RMs - My mum talked to my sister and I about 'stuff' and I had books at home like 'Where did I come from?', 'What's happening to me?', 'Everygirl'... so that those questions we didnt feel comfortable asking or talking about with her, we could read up about by ourselves... What happens here?? Just asked hubby... parents didnt talk to him about anything to do with puberty and sex. He learnt everything from the schoolyard... FRIGHTENING!!

Some Japanese friends of mine said that they dont ask guys to wear condoms - whereas friends from home demand it! And some carry their own. I think Japanese need more education on PERSONAL HEALTH - A Japanese friend of mine thought that girls pee from their vagina - she had no idea but was a very 'itelligent' private university student. made me worry lots...

you two at it again... get OVER it!!!

and Congratulations to Ramirez - he is an exciting character in the Central League ;)

All this ambassador / --ist stuff is getting very very painful!

Is it only me, or are there many more of these this year than last?

I agree with rurika ;)

she ate 3.6kg of soba in 10minutes. as she was last years champion, she had a 5 minute delayed start and still won easily.... she might not be in the photo cause there were 3 groups. if you guys want more info that is here, start watching morning TV!! Zoom-in Super give me all the important info I need!!

It wasnt a sand pit. It was firm sand under horizontal bars in the elementary school playground. They dug a big hole - wide enough for a few kids to sit in and the 'mates' covered them in sand... I hope the boy recovers.

I watched the program when he 'met' Obama and it ACTUALLY went like this;

Obama was shaking hands with random people in the crowd...

Nocchi said; 'I'm Obama'

Obama giggled and said, 'oh, you're Obama!' like he was repeating him.

Obama's reaction was all smiles, but he certainly didnt point this guy out in the crowd and say 'You're Obama!'.

This was on TV just this week...

Definately. Sex education should be taught by parents and schools. I think a sex education teacher should be brought in to teach these lessons. So that the information is up to date and done in a proper manner. I had sex ed at high school. My mum taught my sister and I lots of stuff at home, but there are some things that are easier to ask a sex ed teacher!

I hope they have a fab wedding! BTW -tmarie... do you even know who Saeko is?

he's great even...!

I think his great!

Death in custody - there will be lots of tax payers money spent on finding out how this happened. but Im guessing its less than putting him throught the legal system and then in jail ( if found guilty ).

and I thought my place was a mess ;P
