Gross, all I want to see, a bunch of Baba's dancing. If you asks me it looks like the walking dead welcoming the souls of the dead. I will not be part of the 1.4 million

The only question I have is, were the prostitutes Chinese or Japanese. I'm wondering just how desperate the Japanese were to keep fish on their market, could they part with their Japanese prostitutes and let Gaijin share these top notch prostitutes or did they just pawn off the Chinese ones??? The guy that runs the Chinese one by my house often explains to me that the price of these girls are less because they are Chinese and NOT Japanese, so I'm guessing the government of Japan thinks the same way.

Are they sure it's a Caucasian? Couldn't they have gotten the photo of this guy from the banks CCTV by now and published his photo? I have a feeling the lady's story is not that accurate.

One thing people need to know about forever21. They are DECENT designs and extremely cheap, but they are one time use goods. You wear a nice top out at night to a club and throw it away when you get home if it even makes it that far. As long as you buy there clothes for this reason, you will be happy with your purchase.

And the cheap blow at A&F not doing well, that was just pathetic of the writer of this article. Where is that data coming from? They just opened in Tokyo, Germany, and Italy last year and they have plans to open in Fukuoka, I hear there are still lines every weekend and I saw the news yesterday showing the GW lines at A&F, H&M and Zara on Sunday. I also see their stock has nearly doubled in the past 6 months since they started their international expansion, pretty sure you can’t say that about mine and your company.

I am extremely happy A&F finally came to Japan because now I can get some clothes that actually fit me and are not styled for a host working in Shinjuku.

And the prices aren’t double, I would guess 20-40 percent depending on what you are getting. And again, that’s normal, as it is with MOST other brands here in Japan. Do you think companies just stick on higher prices for the hell of it? They aren’t out to screw their customer. Do you not think there are costs such as: entering a new country, researching work laws, hiring staff, startup costs, logistic costs, taxes, custom fees (these are by the Japanese government taking their cut, NOTHING to do with the company), and I could go on and on.

A&F always gets bad press, because you either love or hate the brand. But seriously expensive, then you're either an idiot or you only shop at Uniqlo, Jeansmate, or Forever21. Look around, I walked through Odaiba the other day and saw nothing but used American shirts at select shops for like 60 bucks, no name jeans for like 100 bucks. Go walk through 109 mens or 109 womens. These are fast fashion brands and they are more expensive than A&Fs clothes and can't begin to compare in quality of material and design tastes. 4000 yen for a high quality t-shirt, 8000 yen for a polo, 10,0000 yen for a hoodie. Well compared to the US, yeah expensive, but we are in Japan.

Wow, can't believe she can stretch that far.
