E cup sexist crap? Next program will mention size of producer's enormous penis? Boo Fuji TV.

Bravo to both of them. She looks 43 in photo. Good genes.

Both are 25. Could spell trouble 20 years down the line. She might outgrow him or he might outgrow her. Then again this might be fate calling. Whatever, its good to see young people in love. Long live. Long love.

Another winner of the Darwin awards. He will not be missed.

Okinawa actually belongs to Taiwan.

This is lolita porn, no? Inexcusable in a country where young girls and women are taken advantage sexually, no?

This is a total scam. Google it. The stars are ordered by the stars or their studios two years in advance to coincide with a new movie or book or CD and the stars are paid for in advance at $30k per star. It is a PR scam. It is not an award or an honor. Google this info to see the truth. Paid for PR, people. Great marketing gimmick. Tax write off for studios, we the public pay for this scam via higher ticket prices. And even the celebrities go along with this charade in their "acceptance" speeches on video. This scam must stop.

Was the word "black" used in English news since that gives a possible silly but possible racist tone to the concept? What was word used in nihongo? Of we do say a business is in the red or in the black. True. So just curious what nihongo term was in news in j newspapers. PC or not, just curious. Paint it black. Blackout. Blacklisted.

I love it. I don't understand all the carping and negativity here. It's a very nice design. Quitcherbellyaching!

Takeshi is half-Taiwanese, half-Japanese.

Two people I used to work with at expat newspapers in Tokyo and Taipei now work in the PR offices of the ADB in Manila, Andrew Perrin from Australia and Geoffrey Dwyer from the UK.

Taiwan has been invited by China to join the AIDB but under the fake name of "Chinese Taipei Province of China" but Taiwan says it will only join under the name of Taiwan (ROC). China refuses to accept that name for Taiwan and therefore Taiwan is not going to dine with the Communists of the PRC.

I ate whale meat in Alaska with an Inuit family, and in Tokyo and enjoyed the taste. Ate dolphin stew in Taiwan and delicious. However, never again.

This reminds of the train in the Korean movie "Snowpiercer" with the rich in the front cars and the proles in the rear cars fighting to oust their oppressors.

Great story.

This was a crime syndicate member from Japan killed by a rival gang in Manila over a deal gone bad. A convoy of four vans? He was not your ordinary " Japanese businessman." Welcome to the underworld. Read the article again.

Imagine if a similar thing happened in Germany today. Shame on Japan for letting this thing continue.

In NYC too. Same same.

Sadly, the Hiroshima event was all PR, and well done at that. Moving speeches, emotional hugs. But will anything change?

Let them wear heels.

Its not really a porn industry. The correct euphemism in English websites has been "ejaculation industry." Its not and never has been about "watching" porn but rather ejaculating while watching the bids. Call it what it is!

@john bosnitch, above....right on. Indeed ...what happened to Japan? Sigh.

Murder suicide is often code. The two men could have had a long relationship as a couple. Rest in peace.

TED talks used to be novel and exciting, as in expect the unexpected. But now everybody and their cousin who wants to build their personal brand is told they should ask their local TED chapter for a shot at it. Result: quality went down, the unexpected got squished by the monetizing zeal. BOO.

Do they mean (((Trump))) ?

There must MORE to this news story than meets the eye...

There will be more. This is a never ending story now.

I agree with trump. This is 1000 year war. Started 911. Wake up america. Trump is right.

Sledging? I never heard that word before. Is it UK slang? Explain please

Male chauvinanime. Boo.
