Which battle of Kawanakajima are they reenacting, anyway? There were five of them?. If I had to guess, I'd say probably the 4th, but I could be wrong. I wonder how they decide who gets to be Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen

Of all the groups to introduce the world (at large) to Jpop, why does it have to be AKB48 ;_;. There are legitimately good bands there

I've heard something like 9 out of 10 requests by the various royals are turned down by Imperial Household Agency. Simple stuff like being able to call old friends or get coffee are turned down. They have no choices at all. Can't even pick out what they wear.
