Add commercials NHK, problem solved.

2010-ish TEPCO headquarters to warn about the coming tsunami that would destroy their reactors and the country.. (too bad i'd be ignored by proud executives. :P )

65 million years ago... Dinosaurs yo!!

Hmm only two comments on this? Many comments being rejected by the website?

Izumida-san. A living Japanese rock star and God who speaks the truth... Finally someone does.

All this ridiculous ways to bring audiences back to cinemas. Its very simple: Lower the ticket price and people will go more often!

By telling us this did they think we would feel better since the emergency systems started IMMEDIATELY(like they should do at any properly MAINTAINED nuclear facility)?? Instead it just continues to highlight TEPCOs incompetency further...

Well done on the opening sentence Mari, very true!

How much is the bill for the Fukushima clean up so far?

TEPCO; a model example of corporate responsibility, open to all opinions and recommendations. They should teach business ethics courses: A-always B-be C-corrupting

@DeDe Miura: Agreed completely. The worst comes in November when the fuel rod removal begins...

I'd buy a new CRT to play my old game systems on.

Been what? 18 months? About time for a new leader in Japan. Start spinning the revolving door... the is so effing stupid.

no surprises

Why are people arguing about the legality of bringing these things on board an aircraft?? It's COMMON SENSE to not do that, not a question of whether you can or not. But then again, common sense is becoming less common these days.

This country baffles me... Try to recoup the cost of construction before 2040?

I cant believe tsutaya rents cd which have been easy to pirate for many a year. I mean, they sell blank cds and rent cds..: duuuuh??? And yet, games are harder to pirate but its illegal to rent them.... Ass backwards?

@ Farmboy: and look!!!! People are in jail!!!!! Dont hold your breath for that to happen here!

Kwbrow2: if only japan was such a decisive country...

Well put tokyokawasaki!

I know that this is a japan news site but wouldve been nice to be informed about what damage Russia sustained... Over to CNN....

The Olympics are about bringing the world together. This kind of behavior spits in the face of that so its right that he didnt receive a medal. I hope he gets a lot of "hey can i see your medal? Oh right you dont have one"... Leave the politics at home and just play the game.

I'm from Australia but live in Japan and feel Japanese customer service is the best without a doubt.

Sometimes in Australia when asking for tomato sauce or something I feel like I'm asking for a kidney, in Japan not at all.

And most Japanese stores are so overstaffed, with most staff just standing and waiting that I feel like I am speeding up their day when I ask for even the tinniest thing. Be busy and the day goes faster haha.

But now I've accepted that both are good customer services, just different. In Japan a customer is treated like God, in Australia is treated like a friend.

Great to see people wanting to be heard but Its sad that protests like this, with tens of thousands, do nothing to sway the gov but the chinese protest a sewerage pipeline, with only hundreds, and the gov folds to pressure.

The argument of "If someone in the cinema had a gun they could've taken him down" is null in the argument due to the gunman using a smoke or tear explosive in the cinema. If someone could've used their own weapon to take down the gunman, THEY could've injured or killed people too.

Hashimoto the moron.

As long as they were not in Fukushima near reactor 4 I think its good news...

Hey Hashimoto, how about worrying about reactor 4's ability to withstand a big quake and not turn the whole country into vapor instead of worrying about people using their FREE RIGHT to get a tattoo!!!? I think Im done with this country... Craziness.

“We can no longer go back to a life that depends on candles,” ruling party heavyweight Yoshito Sengoku said

Of course he would say that. He's 66 years old and closer to the end than the beginning. Why would he care if there's another nuclear accident?

Plus isn't 60 the retirement age here? He should be playing 碁 and not making decisions that affect future generations based on his bank account.

MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!

Arghhhhh... Looks like im moving to tokyo from kyoto in a few months and all this huge new kanto quake news has got me freaked out!!!
