The SG demands a lot of "economic donations" from its worshippers.

If anyone has been a victim of SGI or know someone who may be in danger, have a look at these websites:

Calling the Soka Gakkai a cult is like calling the Roman Catholic Church a cult.<

Oh dear. I was very manipulated and coerced into this religious cult. Yes, I call it a cult b/c the mentality and actions I experienced are exactly what other known cults do. Thank god I was able to break away but I still have scars from that experience. The mere mention of the SGI gives me chills. Bad memories. Bad experience. If it works for you, great but I prefer to run far far away from anyone involved in the SG and New Komeito.

the girl was probably in the restroom, primping her poorly dyed & fried hair and applying more make-up & perfume. Probably as she came out of the restroom, the boyfriend caught her in the hall and dragged her out of the karaoke place.

Ha! That is funny---red-headed stepchild of the beer industry. LoL!

No chest/back hair is great in my opinion! I wonder if the snow is man-made snow.

good god, I almost didn't believe my eyes when I read the title. Unbelievable. I wonder how she cut the cord.

In the future, Korea, Japan & the U.S. will be controlled by China. Chinese will be the dominated language, English second. Probably half---if not more--of Canada & the States will become Chinese territories. The other half...territories of India. Throw some of that land to Russia too. Who knows what will happen to Europe? Possible the decendants of all those immigrants to the States/Canada will return. Isreal and some Middle Eastern countries will have killed each other off. There will be a new breed of humans: Arabic + Chinese, Russian + Chinese, Indian + Chinese etc. White people will probably cease to exist. Things will also start to get louder and louder b/c the ability to hear will slowly decrease. Maybe the last hope will be Africa. Meanwhile Australia & New Zea. will keep on having their beer and playing rugby like nothing has happened.

Is it really that cliche? What is the difference of her coming to Japan to work as a hostess and then write a book than a man who comes here to renovate an old house in Shikoku and then write a book? At least she used her creativity. If it is such an uninteresting cliche of a book, then don't read it.

that kind of place is just asking for arson. I've seen a lot of hoarders in this country.

what is a beta female?

like I said on the other board, thank god it wasn't an American for once

thank god it wasn't an American for once

What? No one has any comments about the Wright brothers?

I won't go on and on about how much I hate Japanese music.

I forgot to say this in my above comment. I don't understand why they make their shoes with black tape and paint. Can't they just buy pointed leather shoes instead of tape and attach a point to regular shoes?

I agree with 'dagbrown', they are not an "Elvis troupe". I think I was on the other side of this picture when it was taken b/c I was there Sunday watching these same guys, along with a woman who was doing interpretive dance and another group of 50s/60s poodle skirt dancers. While I admire them for doing what they want and letting loose, I also they think they look sort of like pained wannabes. But, oh well, what can you do?

I agree with the above poster about how they raise their children here. Respect for your elders, respect for your parents--ha! what a joke!! My cats have more respect for their elders than the kids here.

I have to agree that Tokyo is a joke as far as the culinary capital of the world---as someone else said, you can't find a decent taco or gyro without having to trek to some back alley, low-rent place probably on the 5th floor of a crumbling building. All the Indian food I've had here is like MSG-laced baby food that ends up giving me a migraine later. Like every other place: small portions, medium taste, high prices.

I wish the Household would buy the Empress a better hair piece/wig.

That is a good point MrMukatsuku.

Charlize Theron is so gorgeous. Why is Asashoryu there, does he have some connection to this movie?

I also can't understand why someone would wear a belt when there is no waistline. Anyway, it disgusts me this show is so popular here and every where else it seems.

Women that age should never wear their skirt length above the knee (or showing the knee for that matter). For the love of Pete, please cover yourself woman and learn some self-respect!!!

It would have been nice if the article touched on why 'Shanghai' is not actually being filmed in Shanghai.

I don't understand why people bother to lead such complicated lives by having affairs and then analyzing the dos/don't.

Papa Smurf, you are making the rest of us feel bad. We are just bored and feel like doing a little symbol bashing.

That thing IS creepy. Imagine opening up your front door to that during a lightning storm. I remember seeing that thing for the first time way back when and I couldn't understand what the big deal was about, still don't.

You don't have to be Japanese to get on mixi, there are plenty of gaijin on there. You just need an invitation from someone.

Anyway, there are worse crimes than this.

I think they could have posted a much better picture than that. PrinceskaNo1's comment is right, the hair is all wrong for this situation. I studied tea ceremony briefly and I thought I was going to go out of my mind and all the sitting 'seiza' style killed my legs. I run like the plague whenever some obasan askes me, "do you like Japanese tea? Please come to my tea ceremony group....(so you can be the token gaijin decoration)"
