Maybe Japan should send a basketball team there to play the South Korean's and winner takes all. I'm sure Mr Ishihara would be the star point guard for team Japan!

It seems like these "graduation ceremony" things are the flavour of the month now. You can graduate from a teen fashion magazine and also AKB 48 as well it seems. If you work part-time at 7-11 and quit your job,not sure if you would get a "graduation ceremony" though!

I can see how he is trying to fit in by wearing the local turban,paying respect to local culture and that's ok I guess. For some reason though when I look at this photo it reminds me of "Papa Smurf",orange version of course!

I wonder how realistic the Japanese version of "Prince's proposal"really is?
Please make your choice Princess,do you choose,1-Your Prince is waiting for you at a cheap Roppongi nightclub at 1am. Or 2-Your Prince is an English teacher and asks you to study after class at his Castle(1DK apato).
