@FireyRei
Oh yeah, I forgot about the tiny money boxes they all deliver to the 24hour TV show... That's not at all for good publicity is it??
The only other celebrity that I can think of that is generous to charity is Tetsuko Koyanagi. If you know of any others please enlighten me. I truly hope there are others.

He isn't all bad. Lets not forget the schools he built in Cambodia, the charity fundrasing he has done for the less fortunate in Japan too and the Save the Coral reefs of Okinawa projects he runs. Any other Japanese Celebrity do any giving out there?!

My japanese husband would speak to his parents about every 2 months. I speak to mine every week! Every family relationship is different.

Years ago when these Ore Ore Sagi things started, there were so many elderly tricked into sending money. Finally, banks and post offices have put restrictions on transfers and posters up at the ATM's asking users if they know who they are transfering money to etc.

This little girl died clinging to her mothers leg while several members of the family tried in vein to fight of the animal. Just the most awful scene. The mother and several other adults were there - doesn't seem to have mattered. So sad.

twice this summer I have felt ill after moving from hot to cold (outside to inside). the temperatures are so different -- sometimes 36 outside and then instantly 20 inside. my body doesnt seem to like the sudden adjustment.

as SILLYGIRL mentioned, I just cant get past the fact that people have seen others dumping canisters in their neighbourhood and no one has contact the police about them. i hope those that have no said this can remember some details of the car and people dumping.

it makes me sick that when money is concerned people can be extradited, yet when its over child abduction, nothing can be done...
