So, basically, this article is a reprint of the "Blood types in Japanese culture" Wikipedia entry without the original history of Japanese blood typing: the unsavory 1927 anti-Taiwanese eugenics history section.

All Japanese can go shopping duty free at Okinawa Airport even though it's a domestic trip as well.

My neighborhood machine in central tokyo still sells 100¥ cans.

The Mumbai in kudanshita is Excellent. The food is very non-Japanese. I had no idea they had so many branches.

Fireworks are not usable after a certain period. And the event is cancelled, not postponed, interestingly.

Mirai Hayashi... What subscription may I ask? I

I believe a mini bike is a electrically motorized scooter which is street legal. No license required.

CGB Spender, Hamill's car accident happened just before making Empire. The fight with the snow creature on Hoth was included to account for his scars on his face from his car accident. He had plastic reconstructive surgery, where they removed cartiledge from his ear to rebuild his nose.

And Hamill has had a lot voice acting work as well.

M3M3M3: very interesting comment, I never considered the pragmatic legal framework view before. Can you explain more?

Dating/marrying a tv announcer is the jewel in the crown for 日本セレブ。

It's interesting how many of the posts reveal such ignorance of how Jpnse dual-nationals handle their own passports.

Japanese law does not accept dual nationality. But they cannot effectively enforce it. They try to enforce a chose-us-or-them by the time you're 20, but most of my dual national friends choose to keep both. Then they can travel easily without a visa etc., and still re-enter japan.

I went to international school (my kohai) with this fellow and it's very disheartening to see the nature of some of these posts. No guess we all need someone to point out fingers at.

@theResident: We may even see each other as I ride ANA. I was simply a guest at the Delta Lounge.

I was in the Delta lounge at Narita and they had Sake available.

ANA is only starting this now?

Sunglasses are for yakuza? Who's writing this?

Design was multinational and involved many teams in the us and Japan. http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/11/playstation-4/****

The ps4 was not only designed in the us. It was also designed in Japan. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/10/10/ps4-designer-tetsu-sumii-every-angle-matters/

I visited KUMANO-KODO, in Mie-ken, just 2-3 hours from Nagoya.

One of the tallest waterfalls in Japan (Nachi Taki) and hiking all over the mountains. Absolutely fantastic, highly recommended.

Reminded me that Tokyo people do n

MumbaiRocks: did you find ANA better than JAL? Mealwise and service-wise?

Japan is bulgari/Cartier/Tiffany's biggestarkwt because Japan has highest price markup internationally.

With Nikkon you're paying for the historically fine lenses, the jewel in the crown of any camera company. And Nikkor lenses are the best in Japan. Starting with the F1.

He is so much fun to watch and he's got a great personality, interacting with the audience, and he's hot good timing ss well.

How will training "car fixers" prevent design errors?

Have them watch Thelma and Louise

I never clap. Just let all the other farm animals around me do that.

Mohammed: where did you get that "The one Japanese company that is doing it right is Uniqlo..."? Uniqlo is commonly recognized as a "Blacklist" company. OTOH, I guess it's also important not to jump on the J-bandwagon and say "blacklist!" just bc some j-staff don't like uniqlos work culture. But I don't think uniqlo is "doing it right" by simple virtue if being a number 1 apparel maker, by any means. They have a lot of internal issues and its a very unnecessarily over-the-top authoritarian workplace, extreme unpaid overtime as one key example.

He's really incredible.

Lovely gesture! Thanks to the Chilean president and people for your gift.

McAfee is part of the software pre installed on your pic when you buy it- I.e., crapware that you instantly wipe off. He hasn't been involved in the company for years.
