Western diets = Western diseases....diabetes, hypertension, cancer and weight gain is on the increase. No different from the US or other Western countries. Eat traditional Japanese food (less the sodium), you'll live a lot longer.

Hey Smith, don't be so fast to pass judgment....She obviously had mental problems, especially having to live with the in-laws, as well as the fact that most typical Japanese husbands doesn't help out with raising their children. She tried to seek help but to no avail. She probably held on as long as she could and exploded. Unfortunately, it's a lose:lose situation all around.

Never did like Becky, she had a condescending attitude and was so phony. I'm sure she knew Kawatami was married. She must like younger men. Kawatami is a worm for lying to the public about his marriage. They both deserve to be ostracized.

How about having "female only" coach or carriages? I know it's been done before, especially during rush hours.

I have lived in Machida for over 20 years and I have seen my share of violent acts there. Lots of punks as well as "yaks" (yakuza). I was always told by my local friends to steer away from them especially because many of them are of Korean descent. It's like they have something to prove even if it's their fault. I think its the years of abuse the Koreans in Japan have had to endure.....they are like the Jamaican gangs in NY. They will kill someone over a dollar just to make a point, just to prove how wicked they are.
Japan, overall is a very peaceful country however there is a very violent aspect that is usually not exposed.
