Well back to Wild Turkey for me. Bourbon and scotch seem to be great bargains given the value of the yen.

Fight the good fight

A joker dj started playing clapton's layla and rambling on about the pronunciation. Now I have a serious 'reiwa' earworm. lol

Well I can't seem to dig anything up on that 17% figure. Unless we go into a deep recession(possible!), 10% should be doable.

I thought he advocated a 17% consumption tax in the Koizumi days, but my memory may be failing me.

The premise here is that we should be concerned about the well being of the regional banks ? Really?

I am not against Noda but...

@miyako

Comment spot on.

I haven't met anyone in Japan who knows who he is (yet). Not that anyone should know. It would be like asking a Canadian who Taiho is...

Anyways, interesting choice of articles for japantoday.

Well, it certainly isn't worth 2000-3000 yen/botttle, and at that price point I would drink something else. That being said, it's a decent little table wine at 500-800 yen/bottle. It's possible to find it at that price, but usually in January. Gamay ain't bad.

Sorry, I meant rhthym guitar and not bass for malcolm, obviously.

Recently, the bass went to Malcolm's relative(nephew), the drummer was prosecuted for dirty deeds, and now BJ 's out. 75%.

Gold standard - Led Zeppelin.

Changes - zero

Well, this band seems to rotate people in and out on a continual basis. The ravages of time, I suppose. Axl is a good choice if they really want to continue, but a band name change may be in order.

Or just retire and rest on your laurels.

Abenomics must surely be working based on the photo evidence. Oh well, I prefer to give the Arimakinen a go in any case.

What did he shoot?

Nice lid, Art!

Whatever the case, go Miki!!

Gee, I was under the impression that Nikolai was her boyfriend. "Was"かな。

My goodness, she has the vertical leap of MJ.

Build a dock? How about something useful, like a basketball court?

Gee whiz guys, let's set the record straight.

In Japan, people sometimes DO close their eyes when thinking something over.

If you're in the Diet all day deliberating, you may look bored but it does not mean you are not paying 　　to what's going on.

Yeah, I don't always agree with what these guys do but I don't think there is a lack of effort. Certainly the political system as we know it is broken, I will give you that.

I know you know I got no.... special plans to go to this one at 12 500 yen per seat.

Given her size (small!), what she is doing to the lpga tour is unbelievable. She is giving up 50-75 yards on every hole, but she still manages to get it done. Nothing but respect for her.

Congrats Noriko!

Recently, I'm feeling things are getting underpriced. Grand!!

One liter of Jim Beam at the hardware store for 1480 yen. Unbelievable, I can't get it in Kentucky for that price.

@trulymad Sorrrrry, there are no elevators in Matsumoto castle. Check your facts first

Well, his fellow players are probably thinking the personal likeness headcovers are a bit much...
