No revolution that's sold to us as loudly as this will actually arrive. True revolutions sneak up on us, like TCP/IP.

The Republicans deserve what's coming for choosing him.

They would have no standing. It's like Koreans suing Japanese companies inside Korea to make themselves feel better. It won't help anything.

We will never change. Get used to it.

Accurate article is accurate.

As a guy who sells Japanese Kit Kat for a living, this makes me happy

Our hearts go out to the 100,000,000,000,000,000th example of Muslim on Muslim violence. May the peace of Allah be on all his children!

It was the opinion of the U.S. government that Takeshima/Dokdo belonged to the Japanese. I don't think MacArthur ever voiced an opinion on Senkaku, though they were developed by Japan (a fishing cannery if I recall). On the other hand, they were considered to be part of China since ancient times, unlike Takeshima/Dokdo.

@goldorak The same could be said of Brexit, and look how bad that turned out.

"...the Japanese idol singer industry has been all about keeping its performers from having love lives..."

Nice pun. Writer is a Love Liver, confirmed.

I love Japan but would never invest a penny here.

Too bad there's no heaven or hell, or whoever sent that kid would have the latter to look forward to.

In my 25 years in Japan there was no darker time than the DPJ's period in office. Horrible policies, actively anti-business platform, antagonizing of every political and trading partner, and in the end, the Earth shook them out of power. I know LDP isn't perfect, but it's all we got.

I love this place, and have a great picture of a lioness perched on my family's laps, something you could never do in the USA. Sad that this happened.

Kudos to Canada!

I generally like Delta and fly them when I'm not flying JAL.

@Serrano, it's a good thing the Bush administration didn't run private servers or delete millions of emails. I guess it's okay if it's the party you like rather than the uppity woman who doesn't know her place?

Have a nice break, Mr. President.

You cannot insult your way into the Presidency Mr Trump. And Hillary is not the evil person you currently pretend she is but a stateswoman with a long career of public service.

I love it when the (nearly always) conservatives quake in fear about a few refugees being let in. They're so scared! With all those guns, can't they defend themselves against some impoverished poor Syrians, many of whom are Christian, not Muslim?

I'm proud of the few principled Republicans who are coming out against Trump. They know it's the only way to live and fight again another day.

I'm like, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts"? Isn't that a really odd name?

It was a GREAT movie. Especially if you're a lifelong fan of Hideki Anno as I am. I will go see it again.

She is one of the most beautiful women in Japan. And back on the market, hmm....

The proof is in the pudding, and Japan's longevity and high level of happiness is in part due to their excellent (overall) medical system. It's a shameful fact that I, an American blogger, can't even write about Japan's healthcare system without being attacked as being a "communist" for thinking that the approach of Japan (and the UK, and Canada) clearly brings the best result.

None of these are licensed. They are pirated goods from Taiwan.

Dude stopped me at Narita, once. He just wanted to practice his English.

So when Brits living all around Europe are expelled, I guess there'll be a lot of whining? Great going, limeys.

It would also help if Apple didn't make its users wait a year longer per upgrade cycle than they want to wait. There are, right now, new chips for all Apple's major computers waiting to be added. They declined to give us what we want in a speedy way, because "iPhone! iPhone! iPhone!" Meanwhile I have employees working with 6 year old Mac Pros because Apple won't deign to give me new iMacs or Mac minis.
