@Love, her thin upper lip is another beauty ;)

Eye of the beholder...She is very pretty but not because she has thin lips. Wish they were fuller.

What is she holding? A platinum giraffe?

KSB1978 at 10:57 AM JST - 1st November Most fridges I know will give food longer life than if it was left outside. I thought that was the basic function of fridges :S

I agree with you that fridges are supposed to give food longer life.

Maybe the article is meant to be, "Fridge gives food longer life compared to other fridges".

Looks like its just an advertisement for Sharp's new refrigerator. The article's title really makes one ask. "So what?"

"Sun is hot" more on the 11:00 news.

Fadamor - you think that's a Vader cosplayer and not the real deal?

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

ROFL!!!

You're clearly out of your depth on this subject. Millions of Americans of various skin shades get along with one another perfectly fine every day. While vocal racists hiding behind the shield of anonymity may seem numerous, the truth is they represent but a fraction of the entire population of the U.S. The proof is in the very fact that the U.S. has NOT Balkanized, as you suggest.

Well said!

OssanAmerica at 07:22 AM JST - 24th September Sounds like a set up to me. Something that China can trade for the boat ramming captain.

Ossan is right on the money.

sfjp330 at 07:40 AM JST - 24th September Doesn't matter if it's a set up. China is going back to hardline >communist approach toward Japan. They are pissed off. There is going to >be more and more bogus accusations toward Japanese living in China. >This is real wake up call for Japan.

And for China!

Gurukun, trust but verify what the other side is saying, that's why

Is it racism or nationalism? Is a Chinese/Japanese baby hafu? Or is it just for ethnicities that are apparently not east-asian in feature?

Good grief! People really hate for no reason. Cute movie, cute story. Not academy award acting but that is no reason to have this level of negativity. Completely bewildering.

There is age of majority (adulthood) and age of sexual consent. In Japan I think its 20 for age of majority and 18 for sexual consent. Which makes this very confusing. She is technically a child so this is child porn. However, if she met them in a Love Hotel it would have been ok for them to have sex.

"...treating their divorce so *cordially".

I meant "casually".

I don't know whether to praise them for being amicable or to attack them for treating their divorce so cordially. I'm leaning toward praise because if they have kids this could mean having a mutual understanding about visitation.

Nuff and well said, Triumvere

I tuned into a match and heard the noise. I thought it was a problem with the microphones at the source. I didn't realize it was the vuvuzelas. It was pretty annoying but if that's what they want to use during the game, let them do it.

Should have added that I'm talking about powering homes/businesses.

Geothermal is the best alternative to nuclear & oil fior Japan. Solar can only be a supplemental form of energy.

I'd like to see them make a live action "Conan" the boy detective with Kato as the lead. He looks like Conan to me.

With a falling birth rate in this country, I'm not sure it's a good idea for Japan to reward same-sex couples who can't procreate by giving them SS benefits.

So, I'm going to make some assumptions here:

1) Individuals who work (legally receive income) pay into SS and at some point in the future receive some percentage of what they paid back after some set of conditions are met (e.g. retirement, inability to work when a certain age is reached, etc.)

2) Spouses/children of deceased individuals who have once paid into SS receive some percentage of what was paid after some set of conditions are met (e.g. death of spouse parent)

3) If a single individual who has paid into SS during any part of their life dies without a spouse or children that the government keeps that money.

This is about a person determining who would receive benefits from the money they contributed into the SS system. This is not currently afforded to non-married couples under current law. What in the world is wrong with allowing someone to choose who would benefit?

You cannot get Calpis Soda in the states. My brother has been searching for it and it is not there.

I'm sure it depends on what area you live in. You can get it in VA and HI for sure.

Looks like Marvin the Martian.

LOL! Agree

My Space modulator!!!

Lol, didn't even notice the one to the left of the one everyone's talking about until my wife showed me.

techall, all you are doing is speculating. The air in the plane may be dryer than being outside and on land but there is no evidence reported that this dryness led to dehydration. They took the child to the doctor according to the article and there was "no preliminary cause of death determined". If it was dehydration the doctor for sure would have found it and that would have been the cause. Cardiac arrest due to dehydration. Stop speculating. You have no evidence that the parents are to blame.

Hasn't this actor been doing these commercials for a while now? I remember seeing a SoftBank commercial a few years ago with him and the dog appearing. Anyway, I see no racism in this commerical. Folks should stop having a knee jerk reaction whenever the terms Black and White appear and there is a person with some African ancestry is involved.

Interesting that this issue might harm bilateral ties. I think this is posturing due to the current Japanese government's separation from U.S. wishes.

So basically you make web pages mate? Good to see he's surviving... but all he does is make web pages, this isn't some big new idea... lots of people do it. I do it in order to make cash on the side.

Not sure why you are saying he only makes web pages. Web services design is more than just designing web pages and the fact he is trying to get his clients on board with Cloud Computing means he is handling back end services that are beyond the user interface that a web page would provide.

This guy really appears to be up to no good and the girls exercised poor judgment and hopefully will be wiser in the future but some of the comments about this incident are unbelievable. From sweeping generalizations about Japanese parents, "Don't parents in this country..." and "Didn't Japanese mothers learn..." to "Idiot kids and stupid parents". What's with all the hatred directed to the victims (actual or near) and their families?

Anthony39 makes the best points without the sweeping generalizations.

三十五万円? For a clock? Good thing it is for charity! What was final price after the bidding was over?

Beautiful. An attempt to capture the miracle of child development taking place inside the womb. Very nice and good for her that she wants to capture this experience.

I'd like to say something but I can't find the right words. Probably, somewhere beneath that mess is an attractive woman. Is that the image of Japan she is going to project to the world?

smarticus had the first comment and captured the sentiments about this perfectly.
