Just like the craze fading away after sometime playing with the new toy/gadget/whatever, facebook's craze will fade away too. IPO marks the begining of it.

Posted in: AKB48 get a new look for men's suit commercial See in context

The commercial, titled “Handsome Men’s Slim,” features Yuko Oshima, Minami Takahashi, Mai Watanabe and nine other members of the group dressed in men’s suits and sporting men’s hairstyles.

The title sounds like a title for tobacco's ad.

I wonder what are they (HARUYAMA CO) trying to promote here? Men to become slim to fit in to their suits or women to start wearing men's suits.

Aargh... Muzukashi ~ .... wakaranai ~

@ Nicky Washida

Too bad you had to go through all this. It was the elevator incident right?

You can't generalize because there are so many good people.

TIP: Next time when you accidently bump another Japanese dont forget to say the magic word ("Sumimasen...")

The ministry added that it believes many bosses are not trained to deal with power harassment and it plans to carry out workplace investigations to root out the problem, TV Asahi reported.

Boss: Am I in trouble? Dilbert-san, I will fire your a$$ if you open your mouth in front of them. Dilbert: Hai Wakarimashita ~

Posted in: IAEA green lights Japan's reactor tests See in context

The government’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) called on the IAEA to assess the stringency of the so-called stress tests to which all reactors are subjected before being given the green light to resume operations.

Usually the so called stress tests are given to products in lab while they are under development. Once commercially released they should be only quality inspected.

What you have done is stressed the existing commercial nuclear reactor and induced some more fatigue. You are still going to use the same stress test induced and fatigue induced reactor. Now when nature strikes back what guarantee do you have?

A labor ministry official said that defining “pawahara” represents the first step toward dealing with the issue, TV Asahi reported.

"Pawahara" :-) What's sexual harrasment termed? Let me guess it..."Sekkuhara"

@Elvensilvan

I am sure it is goodwill and for cleanup operations. I can't imagine what must have gone through her mind while documenting the debris especially when it reached US shores the way it reached post 3/11. Something that may belong to her country and reaching this way...just can't imagine. Tomoko might be a strong woman.

Posted in: Japan's jobless rate edges up to 4.6% See in context

Losing "Arubaito" or part time jobs like those in junk food chains and construction sites, do they really constitute to the jobless claims in the current system? Do they pay employee welfare premiums every month?

NO isnt it?

Posted in: Japan's jobless rate edges up to 4.6% See in context

Where is the rate of 4.6% derived from? They must be jobless claims. What about unaccounted jobless numbers? I am sure there are many who do not want to take the pain of claiming that they are jobless with "Hallo waku" or "Hello Work" or whatever it is.

Japan's jobless rate edges up to 4.6%

And yet workers from Indonesia and Phillipines have to take difficult exams in Japanese in order to take care of the aging community here.
