Let's pray for a miracle that Mr Goto San and the Jordanian pilot will be released. Miracles do happen.

Maybe if he performed national service he might not turn out to be like this. I feel so sorry for the grandfather.

Abenomics would be more successful if only the Japanese products are not of such high quality and long lasting forcing the customers to replace them more frequently. My Toshiba fridge is working so perfectly even though it is 20 years old.

This part of the ocean should be declared a non military zone: no warplanes, no warships, no intervention by outside super powers, let the neighbouring countries enjoy small scale fishing. Please let the super powers in these region realize the importance of peace and harmony here. I do pray for these.

So sad makes me want to cry.

Maybe he should try the American Boot Camp in Malaysia.

If the husband had been truly compassionate, the outcome wouldn't have been like this.

Stock up on plenty of drinking water, maybe 2 weeks supply, toilet paper and food. Stay safe.

There are guys who are very arrogant and think that they can get away with it. Now they will learn to restrain themselves.

Why is it that Russia can be China's ally but Japan cannot? A lot of work is needed here but nothing is impossible.

Safe n honest Japan. At Macdonald today, the 13th July 2014, my Japanese friend sent a photo he took, showing a group of young Japanese men leaving their iPhones and car key on the table and disappearing to the cashier counter to place their orders. Returning to their table later where everything stays where they were left. I thought that was amazing.

Mr Sakamoto San, be strong. I have a friend who had throat cancer, he had smoked like a chimney and drank like a fish. He went to Australia and had treatment there but 5 years later the cancer came back. He went for further treatment now he is leading a busy and active life. Take care, best wishes and good luck.

How did he managed to get his driving licence renewed?

Poor thing. May she rest in peace.

Japan has been good 4 China likewise China has been good 4 Japan. They need to cooperate and care 4 each other. Be at one n not hurt each other.

There is a saying: "History repeats itself". China has never in history attacked and occupied America. China has never attacked and occupied Japan. But America and Japan have attacked and occupied China. Like what Singapore thinks it is good that China prospers economically because we all can benefit from it. Let us appreciate this period of peace and prosperity. It is far better than war.

So tragic. So sad. Someone should have advised the mother to have some time away from her son, like time out from one another. Some counselling for both parties have been so desperately needed before tragedy like this happened.
