I passed by this location just yesterday to go to my favorite kebab shop in Tokyo.

Sadly, this cold-hearted idiot will only get a few years, if any, in prison.

Any wagers to see if she'll be around as Governor by next Olympics?

I was surprised there is no easy way (=direct) to get to Disney parks from central Tokyo. That is necessary to make it easy for tourists.

Besides the aforementioned Keiyo Line from Tokyo Station, there are direct ways via buses. :-)

All you guys might be a bit central-Tokyo-centric. Having the central city lines open until 2am means the suburban/private lines and stations out of the city would also have to be open until 3-4 am. You may as well be asking for 24-hour service, 7 days a week.

Readers living outside Japan, is "I mistook the accelerator for the brake pedal" given often as a reason (read: excuse) for running into people in your country?

Growing up and following the news in the US until I finished college, I don't think I ever heard it.

Just curious, as we know almost everything about the player that was hit, why aren't the local news programs showing his face? A quick online search will show some of his face pictures, but why isn't the press allowed to show it?

April 1995, two months before my first stay in Japan, I watched them perform in Northern California. My boss at the time knew I was a big fan and he gave me two tickets with backstage passes as part of my "farewell". Front row for the show, and meet and greet with the band afterwards. One of the best moments on my youth. RIP Dolores.

Got that right! 4 more wins to go for my (LA) boys in blue! Gambarou!

No no no guys. Maybe he said he's a "yakuzaishi". And showed the girl a tattoo of "Matsumoto Kiyoshi" out of company pride. :-)

I'll stick with Star Kebab in Akihabara, the best in town.

I'd love for my hometown (Los Angeles) to get the Games for the third time! I was there in 1984!! I'd freaken cry with joy seeing the Governor of Tokyo passing the flag to the LA Mayor during the Tokyo Closing Ceremony. GO LA! GO LA!

Yikes! The Saikyo Line train that I use each morning does pass between Akabane and Ikebukuro between 8:30 and 8:45. I usually sit in Car #1 which is the rear car going into Tokyo. I have never noticed any chikan activity. But then again, I'm always sitting down and sleeping until the train reaches Shinjuku.

I did notice our train was a little late yesterday. Hmmm?

Agreed! It was fun and cute. Gotta show this to GRLINJPN.

Wikipedia usually includes the actor's full name and birthdate in their articles. Are they also "breaking" California law?

Hope the cops were protected against rabies.

What DaDude said.

Just a quick look on Yahoo! Auctions for 嵐チケット reveals lots of people selling for over 30K. Are all these sellers licensed or not in violation of any law?

Also, if I bought a suit with the intention to use it, but then realized I couldn't wear it nor return it to the store, then I'm not allowed to re-sell it since it was a "used item"?

Strange indeed.

Wasn't there a pool made up for their eventual divorce back when the wedding was announced? Who won the over/under?

I wonder if this Japan trip will include a visit to Shinanomachi, otherwise known as "Soka Gakkai Town".

Awesome Ichiro! Another milestone passed! First vote HOF baby!

The US would have the same situation here for Tokyo 2020 if they went by kana/kanji order using the official name in Japanese: アメリカ合衆国.

Weird. Just 3 years ago they did a series of videos at Tokyo Disney Resort for its 30th Anniversary.

Traitors! Hahahaha

This is utterly stupid. Google has information on his crime because it's taken from Japanese sites. So, will the judge also make Japanese news sites, blogs and discussion boards delete all information written about this guy and his "minor" crime?

Oh SenseNotSoCommon! You made me spill my drink reading your comment! Bwhahaha.

Is it just me or do these anecdotes seem like the "authentic" Penthouse Forum stories?

At the very least, cheap porn stories from the AV rental section.

What's up with the Saitama bashing? I think we should start an "Ahhh it must be Kanagawa....yup, I'm right!" expression. That prefecture seems to be as much or even more in the news for crime or accidents or oddball activities as any other place. LOL!

Why isn't the restaurant named in the English version of the report?

Other venues that are under review include those for basketball and triathlon.

Isn't Saitama Super Arena available for basketball? It's hosted the FIBA World Championships before.

Damn this article. We lost our lovely white Hokkaido-breed "Merry" last Saturday. She also had breast cancer. R.I.P. Merry.

I've had a point card with this gyoza chain for years. Time to go tonight and get my free gyoza coupon. YEAH!
