Those contract rules are going far beyond the limits in my opinion... I can understand that they're idols, that have a public image to maintein but for god sake...they're human,they have feelings and the right to have a personal life too.

"It’s a completely pointless expense" There are many small work in Japan that could seem pointless,i see them as a way to give more job to peaple in order to make the economy run. Yeah,i know the economic crisis...and so on...but if people didn't have job it could be worse.

Thanks for the article,it made me realize that the China-Japan relationship loss due to the island dispute have also a huge repercussion on economical side.

Mh,seems to me that Europe is trying to convince other countries to support it,even if that could damage other countries economy. I think it's a double edge matter,if Japan help Europe and it fails Japan will eventually collapse with it. If Europe isn't helped,probably Japan will loose a great piace of market due to less selling in it.

Hope a military operation will never took place in reality on Senkaku islands... It will easily trigger a war in Asia and i doubt that USA want to take part on a huge war against China..

I could say "It was about time" but let's just say it's fine that public office are ready to welcome also foreigners cases.

Another reason for the Japanese to hate foreigners,and to reduce the American military force in Japan... Hope they will pay for the crimes,it doesn't matter if you were drunk or what.

Ok guys,time to buy more Toshiba products to help economic grow...

Rich Japan. Those are expensive jets. Even the U.S doesn't want to buy them.

rich nation of poor people.

That's not the point,why people can't see "political matters" sometimes... Japan is buying US jet...in the same period of the trouble with the tpp? That's clearly a political move (probably a 'forced' one) to keep US calm.

I,really hope that Japan will not agree fully to the TPP,it's the worst thing to do at the worst time. Japan have an huge debt,his close economy now is the only thing that prevent him to crush,if he will start making more effort on international economy (in a period where the USA and Europe economy are falling) that will only increase the japan financial problem.
