Haha. Boys will be boys.

Ohhh yeah nothing signals the start of summer like waterproof high resolution cams.

one of the wildest festivals in Japan,

Why stop there? Let's call it as it is: The wildest festival in Japan.

I "don't mind" the icecream at Ministop. "The" hot foods they make on site aren't bad "either."

Triumph indeed. I would never get tired of ploughing that field of rice.

but something about this pic lacks taste.

That would be the fact that she is disgusting. Dim the lights back down please.

Feel free to submit your new and better photo to JT for consideration for picture of the day.

Gosh, I'd hate to hear what you'd say about... never mind.

This photo portrays a facet of Japanese night life.

The glass ceiling is so dirty you can't even see through it anymore.

Ah so this is what Japan is about. I'm not clicking on any of the advertisements beside it though.

It's too bad there was an earthquake at the time of this photo, and she had to put her hand to the ceiling.

Ooh I can just imagine how hot her red shoes must be.

You can tell who has talent and who can only stand up.

And who is selling the yukatas and who is just selling themself.

“Talent” Yukina Kinoshita, 22, center, and two models

Is "Japan Today" inferring the models are untalented? Is Yukina a celebrity?

“talent”

There's that word again. Here are a couple of suggestions for the "translator" and the "editor."

Model. Celebrity. Love Bunny.

journalists

Why isn't this "journalists"? I'd pay that. Because they're not journalists. They're (entertainment) reporters.

The man was described as being in his 40s, about 160-170 cms tall and was wearing a black coat and cap

Alright which one of you was it?

What is this? The poor cousin to Hitsujiyama in Dasaitama?

This is shibazakura. http://www.bsmap.jp/subhtml/detailsspc/11109001/index.html (readers are to note there's an underbar between sub and html, and details and spc, in the above URL)

Toyota (no relation to that other carmaker)

Good. I want her to have nothing to do with that other one.

“I have a small body, so I can do many things in it.”

Ooh baby. Tell me more. But first close the door. The interior light is still on and you sure do look like your father.

Wow. 11 yes votes to 3 at this stage. I think that's a good indication that the majority of foreigners in Japan came here because it's difficult being gay back home.

If I finally go on a date there, I’ll let everyone know on my blog!

Hi everyone. Anyone? Hello? Went to Disneyland today with a guy twice my age. Stood in line for 90 minutes for a 90 second mini roller coaster and chatted about his wife in the meantime. I had such a good time. And it was free! As was the hotel. I'm so happy I could sing, but that would be painful for all of us. Wait, is anybody listening? Hello?

You've been on your feet for 24 hours now, Aya. How about taking a break and cuddling up with your no good boyf?

Actress Aya Ueto, 24, who is the image character

You know you've been in Japan too long when you consider image character to be acceptable English.

Bah. Give me a cutie who I still have a chance with. This Aya is off the market, and thus so are these suits.

Japan has no rrepsect for its own culture, and this despicable act of demolishing the Kabukiza proves it. Its a really sad day for this country when this beautiful building is destroyed.

No respect. Demolishing. Destroyed. That's three strikes, thanks for trying.

"And I won't be happy 'til I see at least half the fatties per hectare I see back on the motherland."

Am I really the second poster on this thread? Yes! And I could achieve the feat five hours after the genius at JT decided to put it up.

At the risk of interfering with uninformed bashing, I provide a link which if you scroll half way down includes a picture from a newspaper article showing what the place will look like after its completed.

I guarantee the next plane you fly on will be powered by jet fuel. And the one after that, and the one after that, and the one after that

But what about the one after that? How long is your guarantee valid for? I'm interested in your in-depth knowledge.

Some people have too much time on their hands.

Well why don't you take up freestyle motocross too then? You'll get paid for your idling.
