And Cirque du Soleil was boring too. Too little circus and too much bizzare french circle-jerking they call art.

Posted in: 70% support Kan's policy to make Japan nuclear-free: poll See in context
It's a right direction for the country to be nuclear free but the people are skeptical of Kan's rather instant friendship with Softbank's Son who is good at benefiting at someone else's expense acting as a tool by foreign capital and now may be aiming to acquire or use for free the power lines after power generation is separated from power transmission.
I have been mentioning that quite often here but it seems that most of the gaijin experts here cannot understand real Japanese news and just exist sucking up the partisan soundbites posted here.

Posted in: U.S. administration starts new push on criminal cartels, including yakuza See in context
Well, a war directly on criminal orgs rather than a war on drugs certainly sounds better to me. But it would be foolish to think this could not blow up in our faces as well.
Like using this law against people organizing to change laws or protests by calling them cartels. Already laws made for wars on incorporeal entities (drugs, terror, poverty) have invded everyday life.

Before this happened I complimented Japan on its tough immigration policies and not bowing to EU pressure to let more people in. Japan is a soverign nation and should be free to control its borders however it wants.

How about instead of wasting time on stupid festivals you evacuate those who are in dangerous areas of Fukushima. That should be a TOP priority over these feel good distractions.

Dragon Ball was a completly forgetable movie. I remember more about the steakhouse I went to afterward then the movie itself.
Speed Racer would be good if you were on psychedelic drugs.
Godzilla was just a big egg laying lizard. The french guys chewing gum was the best scene in the movie.

Kabuki would be a lot better if they let women back in. They were banned because prostitution problems but it should not be a problem in this day and age.

That's why I always take the Shinkansen; even from Fukuoka to Tokyo. There's more to travel than speed and convenience :)
Not a lot of choice if you live in Okinawa...
But seriously how much do they save by not taking a case of beer on a flight? At 500 yen a beer they are still making a good markup.
