I still think the tomb still takes a big chunk of land regardless of burial or cremation...

They are trying to release some of the accumulated steam to prevent from major 'fights' occuring with the ppl they control, seems like the recent blasts truck a nervous sting in their communist chord. Still if they still govern by iron fist and battered peoples freedom, i dont think they will avert the looming fall of the communist power.

smithinjapan, ur words exactly!

it would be nice to see hashimoto becoming the mayor at fukushima instead. that would be a nice change.

Japan is also a disaster prone country but it always learn how to be prepared, doing rescue and evacuation drills, identifying high risk areas, education etc.. Considering the same I wonder y Philippine seems to be not doing enough despite it facing typhoon threat every year, it should have been the country on the front line in typhoon disaster management skills...

I would like to praise the 'effort' to mend things (rather than not doing anything principle) however, how effective is this 'clean up' actually? has there been any studies on its effectiveness? what if they do this 'clean up work' just to 'create jobs' or to please people by showing that they are doing something, but what if contaminated land will always be contaminated no matter what is done to it unless the radioactive decayed by itself in time and its actually its just a waste of money?.. I would love to hear a detailed report about this 'clean up' work. I hope the journalists will dig deep into the issue and expose this issue to the ppl.

they allow night clubs but banned dancing and accuse these entertainment spots are where many fights broke out/police cases

dont they think casinos are even worst?

There is a saying that good people always unite with good people.

where would this lead to?... so scarry...

I like buying through online pharmacy. It saves me all the trouble of going to the pharm, and from being a talking topic by the japanese staffs. Some pharmacist here hv such a loud voice i feel stripped naked without privacy. I hope Mikitani san wins the fight!

im happy how an incident shakes off all the dust in the industry and more efforts will be put to ensure quality n food is just the beginning!

after all the suppression by the chinese gov, it is no surprised the chinese ppl will literally explode. These seems like small signs b4 major uprising in china against the comunist gov. One small spark after another, one place then others, n suddenly ppl realize they can fight the gov.

I am against the killings of innocent lives and also the way the chinese gov suppressed the freedom of its ppl.

bigger stadium allows more, more, more ppl to watch the game, im not against this, i for one would be disappointed if i cant enter the stadium if it gets full easily. however it would be nice if they can explain how much money will b used, how the nation (ppl) will get long term benefit from it, make sure it will not become derelict after the game.

the china bird nest stadium was too big and no event organizer wants to use it because of the amount of money that will needed to maintain security with such a big space. If japan can solve this and make it usable for any event it would be wonderful! =)

With all these talk on military, i hv a feeling in my gut that wwIII is looming ahead looking at this trend, hope im wrong

Thats y hitting someone's head is unacceptable and unrespectful in south east asian countries (ASEAN), child or adult, unless you r ready to get a bashing.

Chinese military is purposely sending a round trip to the border of the japan territory to see how long their war planes take to fly to put into calculations in military attack strategy. Russia does the same thing too. Countries who do this to their neighbor cannot be called as 'friends'. What kind of friend will consider how to attack its friend unless its worst then a true enemy, a hypocrite! (does japan do the same thing too?)

Merkel is one of the terrorists that the world needs to be protected from?? lol The ppl at NRA just dont want to lose their job thats why they r defending it. No spying no more work!

they r running away from myanmar, is myanmar a muslim country jefflee?

I just googled rohingya and from the looks they are more bangladeshi than they are burmese, cant blame the myanmar gov for considering them as immigrants.

one thing Im always frustrated in japan is its rigidity in following 'procedures'. At some situations decisions need to be made on the spot even if its not in the 'manual'. They should put something like 'follow the method of conduct... except in unexpected situations or emergencies with due immediate consultation with colleagues on consideration of proper actions'

if dont like sound disturbances, dont rent an apartment close to the commercial entertainment district! haha there are reasons why your rent is unbelievably cheep. Stop complaining or move out. Japan night club law is absurd to the max.

If she has proof that she was stalked and threatened, shouldnt it be enough for the police to arrest him immediately? the oral warning and letter seems to be romantic (sarcasm) and out of place when dealing with obsessed lunatics. I say capture them, give them counseling while in prison hopefully they will move on and come out as a new person. If the psychiatrist consider him dangerous then he shouldnt be allowed to be free because someone will definitely become a victim!

If not guilty dont hide, I say the companies should be brought to light!

under paid, over worked, probably acts of desperation

china: dont encourage japan to do as it please, because we want to do as we please

talking about selfish

There are foreigner friendly and tattoo friendly onsens, organizers should have asked first before bringing them...

..But the mind set of many ppl I met working in service industry in Japan is 'do what you were trained to do' and 'stick to the rules' brain programming, so for special cases the 'error' message will come out. Wont listen to reasoning, stubborn and unfair.

seems like a desperate act for free aid

which law? one that deprive one's freedom of expression? I have issues with the self righteous war propaganda tv programme, but how about internet sensorship? the professor should have been arrested way much earlier for reading 'would be sensored' contents in Japan. Same goes to millions of other chinese working outside china now.

Civilized human beings should never make fun of other peoples suffering. full stop.

time to put the ips technology to test

right as plan, slowly increase the ships, overwhelm, conquer!

china, bla bla~
